Fall Colors

Fall Colors, I am a bit crazy for all things fall at the moment and have been working on two projects this week.
The Scarecrows are from the "Topsy-Turvy Scarecrows" pattern and they are in the process of getting their mahine buttonhole stitch and then they will get their hay/yarn and quilting.
The Nine patch quilt is in the process of being appliqued. I am adding some flowers to the center star and th outside border and then it will be ready to move to the "To Be Quilted" list...
I added those lists to my Blog today. To see them written down inspires me to get moving on them nd I hope will help me keep track of my "TO DO's".
I also quilted a few blocks on the Jack's Chain last night. Just a few more blocks to go and it will come off the frame.
I'm still waiting for the Bulls Eye Blocks Swap to be returned. I am getting impatient LOL! If you haven't seen the tutorial yet it is really well done and you can see it at Busy Mama's Webshots Page (just click on the name to go there)
I am feeling like I am catching a cold today. The weather has turned really, really cold here and we all were wishing for long unds at the football game on Friday night...I am trying to fight it off so I probably will play hookey from church today. This week's study on Praying the Name of Jesus was wonderful! I hope that you will join us when we start a new study towards December. Have a great day,
hugs,

SBS chart update

What a difference now! I have seventy two blocks for my quilt so far. I decided to use a couple more of the bocks that I received in the Blue and white swap for this quilt. I will update my list as soon as I can as I want to have a label on the back to remember everyone by!
I also stitched about eight more blocks, I had so much fun stitching yesterday!
Today is house cleaning day and we are going to a football game tonight and invited some friends over for pie after the game... so I need to get baking and cleaning! have a wonderful day!
hugs,
Keri

SBS THANK YOU!!!!

After much contemplation, I thought I could try and create a word document and paste in my photos and be able to see my Sylvia's Bridal Quilt as it progresses. I scanned all the swap blocks that I want to use for my "Sylvia's colors Bridal Quilt" with the blocks that I have made on my own and put them on the chart, so now I actually can get an idea where I am in the process and what blocks I have left to make! Cool huh????

Diamond Jane and SBS Swap Blocks

Here is the picture of my Diamond Jane and the SBS blocks that I received in the Blue and White swap. I am working on cinderalla'ing today: challenge #18 is organizing stray quilt blocks. I have almost uploaded all my SBS blocks and then I will post a photo of my chart progress. Have a lovely day,
Keri

Pumpkin Swap Blocks

The blocks for the Pumpkin Swap are all finished. I made seven blocks. I will send in six to be swapped and pick one to keep. They are all a little bit different. I like them all!

SBS Swap Blocks

SBS Swap Blocks are here! The photo is a little dark...I'll try to take another one tomorrow....

Finishes

I finished the quilt for my grandfather for his Birthday. I stitched an Idaho Beauty quilt for him from the "More Nickel Quilts" book by Pat Speth.

I also finished my Calendar Quilt. This was such a fun project... and I stitched two more DJ blocks. My new numbers are 70,21.3.1886. I'm eager to get to the next benchmark which is 75 blocks. I went through all my blocks the other day and found two that absolutely must be restitched. I have learned so much with this project it is still an appropriate name that I gave my baby Jane..."In Leornian Tide" (In Learning Time)

I am making Apple Butter today~! The recipe is at http://patsloan.typepad.com/ if you want to make some with me!

Have a lovely day!

Quilty stuff

I finished a few more DJ blocks and took a photo. I love these little blocks! My new numbers are 68,21,3,1846 (blocks,triangles, corners, pieces)

I also took a photo of my "Farmers Market" quilt blocks that I am stitching along with Pat Sloan at her website. She offers the patterns for free on her website at: http://www.quiltershome.com/farmers.htm

I just finished the pie block. I love these they are so quick and fun to sew! I am getting a little better at the buttonhole stitch, adding buttons and ribbon and making "donut fusible s"!
