Promoting Again, Gotta Love It!!!

Isn't this just gorgeous!!! It's called Sunshine, and was made by Hilda of Australia, and I just love it!

She entered it into The Quilting Gallery's weekly Virtual Quilt Contest... this week's theme is Summer Vacation.

 Since she doesn't have a blog and can't get the word out about it, here I am again!!! Hee Hee, I don't do it very often but you guys know me, I just can't keep quiet about things I feel I need to spread around!!

 Anyway if you havn't checked out the quilt, go on over to the Quilting Gallery and if you agree with me , vote for Hilda's quilt!!!! Oh and by the way if you havn't looked around the Quilting Gallery, check it out , there's lots of stuff to see!!!

Early Bird Christmas Crafting!!

Early Bird Christmas Crafting!! Judith will be checking us out for July so I better post what I've got done..! Here's some of my picks. 3 Bags, one that would work for the challenge, 6 potholders, a green and Purple "save the earth wallhanging" and a coffee fabric French Roast Cozy!!! My favorit piece is not finished (maybe today) it's the cutest. Can't wait to show you!!!!

He's not totally finished but isn't he just the Cutest!!!!

Something Quite Different!!!

I've been busy since I got back from vacation, doing a little stuff for the Early Bird Christmas Crafting, and not much else. I did do a charity quilt on the longarm and have one of my quilts ready to go on, but you won't believe what I've been planning !!!! Our charity group received some sweatshirt fleece from Quilts Of Valor and first we were just going to donate it on...but then I thought back when I used to make T Shirts and sweatshirts by the millions for gifts for the kiddos....so I decided to pull out my Kwik Sew patterns and the group is going to make sweatshirts for Needy kids for Christmas! We'll have a cutting day next month and then a sewing day later!!! Should be fun!! Look at all the fabric we've got!!!

And Just to show you one thing I did get done.....the large..Grids and Grommets Bag from Indigo Junction! Love IT!!

I Didn't tell you Everything!

Did you see my last post, forgot to tell ,we went through a tornado, immediately after, with lots of trees and wires down, took a long time to find a way around! I also have to admit I DID buy some fabric, how could I not?? Imagine a Canadian Quilter going to Joanns during Coupon Bonanza and also stopping at Mardens in Maine, that carries cottons for $2.97 per yard!!!! No wonder I couldn't resist!!!!

Life on the Road!

We were off  for a lovely break, a few days at the Syracuse Nationals car Show and then on to the ocean in Maine. this is the first time we camped  together beyond going to car shows! My Honey is a real home body!!! What a great time we had. After the show we even got to stop at a few quilt shops. went to keepsake Quilting in New Hampshire and Mardens Salvage Store in Maine. ( They even  carry fabric , here's a few of our pictures!!!

And check out the Pretty Bird from Michael Miller....it's for a couple bags, don't you just love the coordinates??? So I'll see you in a few days , gotta go and pack the camper!! Happy Stitching!!!
