Hodpodge! from The Modern Diary

On Easter we went to Hannah and Jeremy's.  I got a semi good picture of Hazel and I...she tends to not want to pose when I have makeup on!  We played Doomlings while the kids napped which was fun.
I got a picture of my Friends All Around quilt outside finally.
I sewed with Becky and Barb last Thursday and Becky was working on her Merry Mayhem mystery from NYD #148 so Barb and I were trying to find ours on the blog and I realized neither made it there.  So here is my finished (back in January ...

The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt and More! from The Modern Diary


Barb sent me "The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt" for my birthday and it inspired me to whip up a little quilt to match.  
This is an Eye Spy I finished at the old house that I am not sure made it in the blog.  
Hazel enjoyed doing some art work at my house yesterday.  She made a pom pom jack o lantern and then several monsters.  She is three now--time flies so fast!
I decided to machine stitch around the flowers and all for September Golds by Kathleen Tracy.  I then quilted around those same things and got ...

Princess Crown and More! from The Modern Diary

Here is the new granddaughter's Princess Crown qult top.  She should be arriving on August 9th.  She is breech and will be getting turned and induced (or C sectioned) on August 9th.  Hoping she turns herself and comes on her own before that, but soon she will be here!  Hazel is beyond excited (I am going to be a big sister!) as are we!
I started this Eye Spy just before we moved, and discovered it in the tote when I went to start another one.  So quick finish on this top.   
I quilted two of my tops yesterday ...

Behind on the Blogging! from The Modern Diary

I am behind on the blogging!  I have been sewing so let's catch you up!  I made seven of these paper pieced books from Etsy for my Up to No Good Book Club group members.  This fabric reminds me of "The Luminaries" which was one of the first books I read with the group.  

                                        

I also sewed up the second to last Log Cabin Love block awhile back.  One to go.

Here are all the blocks so far.  Linking up with Angela!
I finished an Eye Spy quilt and got it tied and bound and off to Norway.  This ...

Morewood Mystery, Games and Chunky Churn Dashes Galore! from The Modern Diary


Spent some time these past weeks cutting and sewing four Chunky Churn Dash quilts from Quiltville.  Free pattern if you click on the link.  SUPER fun and fast.  I was not planning on making four baby quilts (though I always seem to be in need of them for gifts) but it was fun since I used my huge bucket of kid fabrics.  I just kept on making sets while gabbing on the video phone with BJ and sometimes Andrea too.  At least we have technology during Covid to keep up close.  




Kathy made a table to go with my chair ...

Sewing, Gaming and Quarantining Continue from The Modern Diary

 I needed some cheery sewing so I finally made a Garden Party Table Runner.  I decided to make it to match my quilt (from the Quiltville Cruise) with the green running throughout.  These blocks are really fun to make and come together quickly.
 It is now all layered with batting and backing and ready for me to quilt. Here are Sunshine and Bug who cannot resist getting into the photos.
Someone on Quiltville showed a layout of the Easy Breezy leaders and enders with friendship stars.   I had just been digging in my leftover bin and realized I had a ...

A Half a Year Later... from The Modern Diary

So I really need to get back to blogging and reading my blogs.  I miss it.  I have a few more days until the school year is over (teaching from home due to Covid 19) and we move to Milwaukee!  My daughter Hannah is pregnant with my first grandbaby (Coleman's wife has six kids and one grandkid but we never see them and well it is a long story...) and due the end of September.  We found a house about 15 minutes from her and less than ten from my video relay job (I am transferring).  I am so ...
