Won't be quilted

The top is done but it won't be quilted for the 4th.

Happy Independence Day to all. I am trying to break myself from saying the 4th of July, as there really is no significant meaning to that. Independence Day, now there is something with meaning, Independence from tyranny.

May God show us how to save America

3 Completes

Here are three completed quilts for the month of June. I finished Matt's American quilt. He is here visiting now so he will be able to take it home with him. The nice thing about it being completed is he can also use it one the 4th of July if he chooses. I hope he likes it. If it looks familiar, it is because I made one a couple years ago and have it posted as my profile picture.

This is the quilt I made for Otis. It will be his gift for his first birthday. I think he can grow into it and I hope he likes the pirate theme.

This table topper I gave to my daughter-in-law as a gift for graduating from college. She received her degree in accounting in May and I finally got the top done now. I won't have to mail it either as I gave it to her while they are here visiting.

Well I best get back to work. I have potato salad to make for a pool party this afternoon with Otis. I am excited to see him. I have some sewing to do also.

Have a good week

Loading Matty's quilt

I finished the top for Matty and now I am loading it to quilt this week.

I want to have it completed by the end of the month so I can give it to him then.

I worked out in the yard today and got my pumpkins planted. I hope to grow one for Otis.

Have a good week.

I goofed

Okay, I started a quilt for my son. Well this is supposed to be a sawtooth star block. Guess who cut the wrong fabric for the corner squares? Yep, you are right me!!! Here is what they should look like.

I made soap yesterday. This is goat milk/oatmeal soap. I look forward to using this in the fall.

I quilted the quilt I made for Otis. It is big. It will definitely fit a twin bed. Otis is now 8 months. I guess he will grow into it.

A picture of the completed quilt will come later.

May God Save America.

Memorial Day

Blame it on Libby

Libby, at A Simple Girl, posted a cute little quilt last week-end and I just had to make it. I loved the pattern and wanted to make a flower basket type quilt so here is my version. Thank-you Libby for the link to this great little quilt. Like Libby, I left part of the quilt off because I have a different purpose in mind for this little beauty.

I have been working on my Liberty Tea quilt also. Here is where I am so far. I will add some borders and some wonky words. I plan to add "Liberty Tea" to the quilt somehow and maybe some thing else like would you like a cup of? I will make a decision in the week to come. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

I had a birthday last week also. I am stepping on year deeper into the waters of the 50's. So far so good. Not a real good picture but I don't ever take good pictures.

Have a good day.

May God show us how to save America.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all, that is if you are a mommy.

I am still quilting on the sunflower quilt but have been side tracked by my new project. I am in the process of making a Liberty Tea quilt. It is on the concept of my wall hanging I made a few weeks ago. In the process of piecing the blocks together. I hope it turns out the way I want it to, oh well however it turns out will be the way it is.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day and enjoy all your family.

May God Help Us Save America.
