Do you want to see some of the things that I have been working on?

Hey Trude – are you looking at this – two posts in ONE DAY!  LOL.  🙂

 

IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING….

I will be traveling WITHOUT MY COMPUTER from July 17 through August 10th

– so ShirleyAnnesHeart (in theatrical terms) will be dark.  🙂

 

ANN SMITH’S SUMMER MYSTERY 2009

OK!!!!  🙂  I am making Ann Smith’s Summer Mystery – due to start in August.  I did my pre-sewing.  It will be scrappy with teals and neutral beiges.  Here are examples of Units G and Units A.

POWHATAN QUILTERS MYSTERY QUILT

 
I am plugging away at the TINY LITTLE PIECES that go into the Powhatan Quilter’s Mystery Quilt – hosted by Karen.  I LOVE little pieces, so this is lots of fun for me.  I have all 28 of my pinwheel blocks finished – but have just started on the posie blocks….they are SOOOOOOOO cute!

THIMBLEBERRIES 2009
 
Today I finished my July assignment for Thimbleberries Club – I do not know how I could possibly survive without the QUILT IN DAY SQUARE UP RULER!   I use it for everything it seems!  This assignment had MILLIONS of half square triangles so squaring them up was a lifesaver!

BROWN BAG BLOCK PARTY 2009

Country Piecemakers

Now this is what I finished tonight – I am so excited about it.  It is the TOP of the Country Piecemaker’s Brown Bag Project – I named mine Brown Bag Block Party Quilt 2009.  I am going to make the pieced back for it tonight!  🙂

The blocks were made by sao, Barbara, Sandie, Heidi, Donna and Linda……I am really pleased with it!   I have a confession – I really am not that fond of the color teal but I had some fabric left over from the quilt that I made for my brother Fred – he wanted a  teal, brown and gray quilt (Remember Fred’s Boxy Stars Quilt with the t-shirt with pockets for the back?) 

And it turns out that I LOVE this quilt -so I should thank my brother, Fred, for the inspiration!  I probably should have SAVED this for next year to be shown at the FINISHED QUILT REVEAL at the guild meeting – but I am not good at keeping my own secrets.  On the other hand, I take pride in and am able to keep other people’s secrets.  🙂

I am soooooooooooooooo ever grateful to be able to call her dear friend as she makes me look and feel gooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
