Manic Monday

Today I have a bunch of pictures. I have been trying to finish up a bunch of stuff. 

Here is my May Schnibbles~Doc. I love it. I used one print and three coordinating fabrics. I had most of it done in May but just could not finish it. So I finally did!

In my PQA (Parma Quilters Anonymous) group we have been working on a quilt along. This is what our finished quilt will look like. Below are the blocks I have made and then the quilt with my finished blocks "x"ed out. Just a fun way of seeing what is left.

 

Also in PQA all of the members are making (9) 9 patch blocks, a mixture of boy & girl blocks to make 2 twin size quilts for a local shelter for kids. Here are pictures of my boy and then girl blocks. I will show pictures of the finished quilt tops when they are completed. 

 I have also volunteered to make 2 of my own twin size quilts. These are the 2 variations I have so far. They are 9 patches with 4 HST mixed in. 

=========================

These flowers are from my July partner for The Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap. So cool!

 These flowers are from a gal that I think messed up. I will be sending her a note to let her know.  

At my LQS's Saturday Sampler we are doing these cute little stitcheries. They are to be finished into little pillows. I have not made it that far but here are the ones I have stitched so far.

One last thing, DD#1 just took a picture of me and my baby, Chomper, and I thought I would share it.

This was us in June 2011...

Maniac Monday

Well summer is finally here and I can get back to my "reality". Sort of. My daughters are off on a ten day vacation with family. So I am at my parents house watching the house, plants, garden, chickens, bunnies, and pets. Including mine and the chickens and bunnies I am watching 52 animals. Oh my!! 

Now that school is over I am not watching this little guy anymore. 

He sure has changed since January.

These are the fabric charms I got from participating in the above swap. I am SO happy with the. I LOVE THEM!!

DD#1 made a quilt for one of her teachers. The teacher lost her husband and the beginning of the year. DD#1 took white rectangles and had the students sign them. Here is the quilt plus her giving it to her teacher.

 For the above Mug Swap I was partnered up with Kris over at Duke Says Sew What. Here is the mug rug I sent her. She is almost done with mine. Here is a peek.

I have been able to get a few things done. Here are a few blocks that are heading there way out. 

I left my book at home that has my to do list in it so I will post my goals list later. Thank you for stopping by.

Oh I did not forget...Giveaway soon!!

A Few Fun Swaps!

I have a fun fun things you might like to go look at. I need more fun in my life. LOL!! I like the idea of swapping things with others in this quilting world. 

I found a fun swap the other day. Ally over at Quilting Mumma has started a swap, a Mug Rug Swap. How fun. She has no rules other than when to send them off. You might have a lot of fun. Head over and check it out.

Take a look at this new swap. It is the Spectrum Charm Swap-Brights on Flickr. You cut up 5 yards of fabric into 56 charm squares. Mail them all off to the administrator then she sorts them and sends them back. Go have a look. It will be fun!
