I have a finished quilt to show you…It’s Twirl Around from Bonnie Hunter’s book Addicted to Scraps. You can find the book HERE. I did some modifications so if you’re interested in making one, I’ll tell you what I did. The coloring from my pictures isn’t quite true. The real color is this…They are MUCH …

Quilt Finish: Baby Half Square Triangle Quilt from Jo's Country Junction

I have a finish to share… Several years ago, a blog reader sent me a pile of half-square triangles. They were all done in bright colors…so pretty. I packed them away, thinking someday I’d do something with them. Well, not so long ago, I was digging for something else and saw them. In my quest …

Quilt Finish: Train Tracks from Jo's Country Junction

I had planned on telling you about this quilt last week, but I couldn’t get my computer to go online when I was at the hotel. So the quilt waited for this week. Here it is all finished. The colors didn’t photograph the best…it’s much prettier in person. Five years ago, after my daughter Kelli’s …

Casino And A Finish from Quilting My Way

This morning, we headed out to the casino. We have Wednesdays this month for the casino - except for next week. We have sew days here. 

We played at the casino a good 4-5 hours. We didn't lose much at all.  We played on their money. I think the little we lost was from the money we won a few weeks ago. So, we are still ahead. Patrick got a bonus of $1,163 that was under the line of having to get an IRS form done. lol 

We then went to Safeway for things we need. We even had ...

All Day Sewing - With Friends from Quilting My Way

This morning, it was sew days with the group. We had 5 of us. Colleen had to leave early to get her granddaughter. We had a routine going that worked out. We had Martha who came a while back and a new gal, Patti. Debbie and I were there as well. I was running around from one thing to another to keep it flowing right. 


 We had some pillowcases for the Bazaar, veterans and children sizes. 

By the time we were done, we had 21 pillowcases done and 5 that were close. Those will be finished at the next sew ...

Cross Stitch Finish: Spring Bird from Jo's Country Junction

When I was at a cross-stitch retreat last year, a lady attended. She had a friend who had passed away. The husband asked that she distribute the cross stitch patterns and supplies to people who might appreciate it. Friends took some items and then there were leftovers. She brought them to the retreat and encouraged …

A Day At Home from Quilting My Way

This morning, Patrick and I slept in. I went downstairs to get the fireplace going so I could work down there getting stuff ready for the sew days next week.

I played my games for a bit, then I headed downstairs to work on the purple I needed to finish the wreath. Once I had those cut, I started working on the pillowcases that we are going to try and sell at the Bazaar. I just hope we can sell them. 


Later this weekend I will work on getting them ready to sew. That way I will have a stack ...

Quilt Finish: Wizard of Oz from Jo's Country Junction

You might remember I bought some Wizard of Oz quilt blocks from the thrift store for $3. When I bought them, I had no idea the colors were so off and didn’t really go together. The fabric went together as a theme, all Wizard of Oz, but the colors…nope. They didn’t jive. They sat for …

Another Casino Day from Quilting My Way

Patrick went golfing and Kaiser woke me up at 8:30 am to let me know we needed to move my appointment because my density test wasn't scheduled yet and I needed that before my appointment. So, I had to call and get that scheduled and then call him back. While I waited, I called OBGYN to get an appointment in April - and they don't have that schedule available yet. 

So, for a couple hours this morning, I was on the phone. Then I went walking. I got 3 laps in today, which was awesome. I have to ...
