Today I finished my 10th Quilt for Kids quilt. I really like how it looks. I did have the center block solid but that wasn't the look I wanted for this quilt so I re did them and made the center the back ground. I like it much better.

I also have fabric for another quilt which will go to a friends daughter.

Slow going

I am working on a baby quilt but it's slow going. Hopefully I will be finished in the next few days. Off to Vegas tomorrow for some shopping and to pay the mortgage. Shannon got a few extra dollars this week for working some OT so we are going to treat the dogs to some bagels. Casper has never had one so this should be fun to see how she reacts to it.

Quilt Blocks


Today I finished these quilt blocks for another Quilt for Kids quilt. I now have to decide if I want to put a sashing between the blocks or sew them together and add two borders. Then I need to decide which fabric to do this with!! tomorrow will be soon enough.

What Fun


I purchased a book titled Piece in the Hoop by Larisa Bland. Today I found time to do one of the projects. Since you piece blocks in the hoop, and you have to press seams,you need a pressing pad that fits under the hoop. So that is what I made today as my first project. It was fast and easy. The underside is a piece of teflon fabric. There are many projects in the book and the author also has a website where you can purchase other block patterns.

The last few days I have been working on some clock inserts for a friend who has a Bakery/Flowershop/Gift Store in Windthorst Texas. This is the baseball clock insert I designed and digitized.
