Sunday already ....where did this week go

For sure the time is flying by and soon there will be snow on the ground. About 4 hours north of me they had snow this past Friday. So you know it is coming!!!

Hard to see the bones in the border

Well the baby quilt is done and will be on it way to its new home. But the little boy it is for decided to come early so he has to wait a few days for his quilt. It was a good machine quilting day....did all the quilting in one day. It was a little quilt but so many things could've gone wrong and they didn't...I love days like that!!!

Orca Bay Mystery from Bonnie Hunter

Today is another machine quilting day. This year one of the guilds I belong to is having its 30th anniversary. We decided last June that in September we would have a giant show and tell. Well I have nothing to show so yesterday I started to get my "Orca Bay" quilt put together. So today it is sandwiching it and pin basting it and starting to machine quilt it.I had a fat quarter of the backing (on the left) and thought it was perfect. So I went back to the store when she was having her spring sale and got yardage. That was last May 2012....yikes!!!Oh well better late then never! I am hoping for another good sewing day...let's all keep our fingers and toes crossed.Join Kathy and see what others are hand stitching today on slow stitching Sunday!!!

Slow Sunday

Dinos for a little boy

It is not just a slow stitching Sunday but a very slow lazy Sunday at my house. We celebrated DH birthday last night with friends and it turned into a late night. But I did get some things done today. This baby quilt, for a friend's grandson has to be finished this week. No pressure. I am planning on machine quilting it...wish me luck. Machine quilting is not my favorite thing to do but I am just stippling and maybe some free hand bones in the borders.



On the slow stitching front with Kathy at Kathy's Quilt's, I plan to relax after supper and continue the work on that wedding quilt.Now that my garden is almost empty, I  must buckle down and get it finished or else Christmas sewing season will be here and nothing will be finished. Looks like the week ahead will be a hand quilting week!!

Schools in....so it is Sewing Season

You didn't realize the season changed, did you?! First day of school for many moms means more time to sew. I am past that stage but September brings with it time. Time to quilt and sew as many jobs outside are just about over. I have a little bit of pickling left to do but giving the garden a chance to grow just a little longer. I am still working on a wedding quilt that has been put on the back burner and have started a baby quilt for a friend's grandbaby that will be born this month. I will post pic when the top is finished. I have even started on some Christmas gifts....not to early to begin!!!

I would like to send  my condolences and love out to a friend who lost her brother on the weekend. She is a fellow blogger and hosts slow stitching sunday at  Kathy's Quilts. If you have ever read her blog or joined in on one of her slow stitching days...send her a hug....I know she will appreciate it .
Have a great day...I am off shopping for the afternoon and to the vets! Psst don't tell my dog, she doesn't really like going there!!! lol
