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!!

Maniac Monday on Tuesday Again

It has been a hard week. The little guy I watch is having a hard time pooing. He has been extra fussy and has lots of tummy troubles. He is #1 so most everything else stops. I have gotten a few things done. Here is my block for my second partner in Block Swap Adventure. This block was paper-pieced and it was so fun. I love the way the colors came together. 

I was part of a swap that I almost did not make the cut off time. I was late a day or two and the gals were nice enough to count me in. Thank you ladies.

 Here is the package I received. It is so torn up. Sometimes things go through the mail wit not trouble but other times they go to "you know where".

Here are a few pictures of what I received.  I love all of them, they look so fun.

These where sent as an added bonus. Thank you!

I am part of another swap on Flickr. I ordered fabric from Fat Quarter. This is how the package came. It was covered in oil!

Thank goodness for plastic bags! So for everybody out there, when you send fabric or a block please put in a sealed plastic bag!

Here are the 5 fabrics I am sending to the group.

All cut up and ready to go.

I have finished my DD#1 Graduation top. I will be quilting it soon. I saw this pattern in a picture and figured out how to make the quilt. I had everything cut out so I was able to sew the whole top in one day. 

Here is my project list for the end of April and the beginning of May.

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!
