Maniac Monday~Late HA HA

I was busy all last week sewing away. But come this weekend I did not set foot into my sewing room. Hubby was home Saturday which is unusual this time of year. So we did a bunch of yard work in the morning and just spent down time the rest of the day and all day Sunday. It was great. 

I did get those Pincushions filled and sewn together. They turned out great. You can see how big they are. My DD#1 has already picked out one of the triangle ones. 

 This is the crushed walnut shells I used to fill them with. It was about $6.00 for 5 quarts. I still have over half the bag left. 

I am getting closer to being caught up with the other people doing the It's a Mini Quilt Along. The gal who was running the quilt along was having some troubles and stopped posting what the next pattern was so some of the ladies on the Flickr group have kind of taken over and and started suggesting what the next pattern could be. I am just going to keep up with them. I would like to finish this quilt along. I had said that if I won a copy of the book that I would do it. I won so I am going to follow through with what I started.

In PQA we have started up a new project. Donation or charity quilts made by us for people in need. Here is my part for quilt #2. It is going to a fundraiser for a man and his family. He will be having a lung transplant and the costs will exceed 1 million dollars. We go to church with his mother and we are friends with her. Many of us know this young man. It is so sad. He is such a nice guy. This is just a very tiny thing we can do to help him out. Go watch the video of his story here. 

Ha ha I thought I would add a picture of Chompie. He is so cute!! You see how his left eye is kind of closed, well he had a Cheatgrass sticker stuck in between the inside of his eye and the upper lid. It is a horrible sticker that with movement burrows its way deeper into what ever it is stuck in including socks and animal fur. It was in there for two days working its way deeper into his head before I found it and pulled it out. Boy was it stuck. YUCKY!! He is better now and his eye is back to normal.

Catching Up on a Few Things

A couple more flowers I have sent to DD#1.

Next on my list of It's A Mini Quilt Along #3 Flying Around In Circles. I used Kona Black and vintage sheets. I love the way it turned out! It looks better in person!

 I used those two Moda Candy charm packs to work on my Schnibbles Morsel pattern. You end up making some very fun pincushions. I made 5. I am not sure why but I kept sewing until I ran out. I went to town yesterday and bought a huge bag of crushed walnut shells in the lizard section of a pet store. I will be filling then and finishing them up soon.

 This picture shows what I have left of those two packs. I am sure I will make something out of them as well. HA HA I am not wasting that fabric.

Dream On/That Quilt Along

Here are a few pictures of what I have gotten done. Finished the binding on my Frosty Flakes. 

Got my June Schnibble Dulcinea cut and have started sewing it. I am going with some of my 30's fabrics. Looking at the fat quarters from my last post I decided to play with them. I love them!!

At my LQS we have Saturday Sampler. This is one of the blocks I am working on. They are 16 1/2 inches. They will all be black then different shades of another color. I am not sure why this one did not come together. There are a few close ups bellow that show better how my points did not line up. ARG!!

Another block that I am doing is a paper-pieced called Stained Glass. 

We also collected pillowcases this month and here are the two I did. I just used the tutorial from All People Quilt. It is an easy pattern. They are at about 500,000 pillowcases made so maybe you can help out as well!

 I finished quilt #2 for It's a Mini Quilt Along. It is called Fire and Rain. So what better then red and blue. It is very patriotic.

I love to see all the little bits cut off.

I thought you might like to see my Granddaughter. She turned 1 month old on the 15th. I LOVE HER!! She has brought so much joy and happiness to me!!

Our hands together!!

Last but not least. Do you remember the "olden" days of Chain Letters? Well I received one from a friend. Well not just one but two, the same letter from two different ladies. Man, these things never work for me. But I am game. I have them all ready to mail out. But who to send them too? I would love to send them to anybody out there that would like one. Let me know in the comments if you would like one and I will email you to get your address. I have to mail out 8 letters. Come one have a go at it!!
