A Little of This and That...

I received my September flowers from my partner. All the way from Denmark. I love them. They are so pretty!!

I have been quilting my second baby blanket for my Granddaughter. This is the largest of the three quilts. I have all of the quilting done now. I am having a lot of fun playing with FMQ. I can't wait to have these done.

My partner in the Appliqued Coaster Swap sent my coasters. I love them. They are so cute. 

 Here are the backs. They are great!!

For my PQA sewing group I mad 8 of these little block for the row I made for my partner. She loved it.

Maniac Monday

It is a good Monday. Many thins are getting back to "normal". I think I am am almost back into a routine. It is so funny to think I have had hard time. The only major thing that has changed is my daughters going back to school. DD#1 off to collage and D#2 to high school. It has just turned my world over. LOL!!

I signed up to do a swap over at Quilting Gallery. It was for a set of 4 coasters. They are so cute. 

Here are the 4 I sent off to my partner. I love them. I have not received mine yet but soon I hope. 

 The backs.

 She is starting up a new swap. You will make two fall Mug Rugs and then swap them with your partner. I have already signed up. Jump on over if you are interested.

My sister-in-law had a baby over the summer and I have not had time to make her a gift. So last week I cut some time to do that. I made here a nursing cover. I used this pattern. Very simple to make.

Then I made her six sets of matching receiving blankets and burp cloths. I just serged around the edges. 

My cousin called a couple of weeks ago and told me her daughter had a 4H auction coming up very soon and her daughter had not done anything to help raise money. My cousin asked if I had any quilts I could donate for her. I went searching for a quilt I could part with and came across this one that was just a top and back. I quickly put it together did some diagonal straight line quilting. Wrapped the binding around from the back and TADA I had a quilt. I has so shocked to find out that the quilt went for $175.00. WOW!! I am glad it helped them out but also that someone bought something I made with scraps for that much money. HAPPY DAY!! So now to be help the daughter of the cousin know you don't get anything for free I am having her go help pull weeds at the house of my sister-in-law for the above items. It all comes around don't you think.

The Back. 

I hope you all have a good day.

Manic Monday and Traveling Stash Winner

I have not gotten anything done this last little bit. I have been focusing on family. We had a great 4th of July. Went to three different events on the 4th. Wow so much was going on. 

Below is my Grandfather holding my Granddaughter with her mommy's help. What a sweet moment. I love generational pictures like that.

 We had our own little firework display.

Then on the 9th my Sister-in-law had her baby. She is the little sister to the little boy I was watching this last school year. I will not have to watch them this fall. Their mom has decided to take some time off. 

 Here is my husband holding the new addition to our family while also holding our Granddaughter. The new is as big as the two month old.

Now on to other news. I had only two people enter the drawing for the Traveling Stash give away. It was Susan from suemacseeds. As soon as I get her address I will be going to the mail box to mail off all four boxes. The Traveling Stash box. Then the three boxes for my Anniversary give away. I hope you ladies enjoy your goodies.

Over at Quilting Gallery Michele is hosting a Coaster Swap. I have joined up. These are so cute. 

Over at Sew We Quilt I have joined up to be a part on a new blog hop. Be a Hexie Queen. I can't wait to get start on my project.

 As for me my day will be about finishing the quilting on my strip quilt. Then just resting and laundry. I hope your day is filled with blessings.
