WiP Wednesday~Rainbow Trip Around the World

It is Wednesday again!! I have worked on this quilt a couple of time. I LOVE IT!! This is a traditional Trip Around the World Quilt. It is going to be a huge quilt when it is finished. 

Here are all of the rows together, now I just need to sew them. 

Here is a closer look.

For Saturday Sampler I am starting a new BOM. I have seen this quilt a few times in a few shops and I am so excited to do this one. 

Don't forget to hope over to to Freshly Pieced to check out all of the other cool projects.

Maniac Monday

What a week. I have been sewing up a storm. And relaxing. I have big things in the works but I will have to keep it a secret for a bit longer. I can't wait to share!!

I have been getting caught up on my Saturday Sampler blocks. Here are two of them. I love the fun brights with the black.

 With Halloween coming so quickly I wanted to get two of my UFO's done and out of the way. I have had these two wall hangings for so long. I got them out and finished them. They are so cute. The top one I still need to add a few buttons to. The bottom one has 3D shutters that flap open and closed. I am going to give it to my nieces and nephew. I know they will like it. 

As I was doing all of this fun sewing I got a little careless. I cut my thumbnail with my rotary cutter. Luckily it only got my nail. No blood. You can see inside that black circle where the blade went. I am so glad it stopped. I would have cut the top of my finger off!!

I finished another UFO. Well Three. I have had this pattern from the very beginning back in 2010. It is Twice as Nice... Plus More from Eleanor Burns. When I started these little quilts I knew that my first Granddaughter would get them. I am glad to have them finished before she turned 21. HA HA!!

 Speaking of my Granddaughter. Here she is in her little Boise Bronco's cheer leading outfit. She is so cute!!

I hope that everybody has a great week!!

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!!

Late Maniac Monday

I am a few days late with Maniac Monday but I  wanted to post anyway. I have had a good week and have gotten a few things done. 

But first I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by my blog for the dots on dots Blog Hop. The turn out for me was so much greater than I could ever have hoped for. I had 80+ comments and a few people even decided they liked what I do and became followers. THANK YOU!! 

This is the block I made for my September partner for Block Swap Adventure. She asked for 30's or 40's fabrics in an older style star. I love the way this block turned out. 

For Parma Quilters Anonymous, a quilt group I started in my home town, we are doing a little quilt along. These are August and September blocks. I made three of the September blocks. I can't wait to put this quilt together. It will finish to look like this one.

For Saturday Sampler at my LQS this is my August stitchery. I love the ants. Someone's husband said they look like tiny cows. HA HA

I finished my September Schnibbles before the end of the month. I used a left over Halloween charm pack. This pattern is a new pattern by the creator of Schnibbles. It only uses the new "Candy" 2 1/2 inch squares Moda is coming out with. So fun!!

This is one of the two Plus Sign quilts I am making for a charity my church is giving to for Christmas. It is huge, my husband had a hard time holding the quilt and he is 6' 3"! 

I also recovered my mini ironing board. This was getting bad and the insulation was showing through. 

Before

After

I also made a pillow to go with my daughter's Senior quilt. 

Then this morning I redid my wreathe that is hanging on my front door. I love Fall so this needed to be all orange and yellow and red. I have discovered an cool cheap trick. I used orange and red Loofah's to cover the wreathe and as a bow. Very cheep and easy to work with. I hope this helps get everybody in a festive Fall mood.

So for my list I got a few more things knocked off!

Maniac Monday

I have not done much for two weeks. The first week after taking DD#1 to college was hard. The second week was better. I feel much better now. I feel like I can get a lot done today. 

Here are months May and July of my Saturday Sampler Stitcheries I have been doing. They are so fun. The pattern says to make them into little pillows. I am not sure If that is what I am going to do are make them into a little quilt. 

These two blocks are from my partner from Block Swap Adventure. They are both so great. I sweet Fall one and then a very pretty bright one. Thank you!!

I made two of these blocks for my Let's Bee Together partner. They are so pretty. I love that fabric. 

Before my DD#1 left for college we went to a near by river and took some family pictures. Here is DS and his wife. They have been married for over 1 year now. 

 Here is my husband, DD#1, DD#2 and me. 

Here is a fun picture of me and Jayden, the little guy I am watching for my brother and sister-in-law. He is a sweety!!

 Last week was Homecoming Week in my small town. We go TDed. I hate that!! Here is our front yard. You know I don't mind all the paper on the ground, it is so much easier to clean up then the stuff in the tree. She that piece there in that tree, my husband can't even reach it. Now we get to watch it fall apart all winter long. Darn those high schoolers!!!
