Red, White & Blue Blog Hop!
I'm excited about being included in the Hop. I had fun doing the Starry block and then remembered that I have a large Log Cabin quilt started in Red, White & Blue and though perhaps you would like to peek at them too.



Then there was the very first thing I ever made in Red, White & Blue.

Red, White & Blue Blog Hop!

So Easy and colorful to do a R,W, & B block. Simply cut out 4 stars from a 'cheat fabric' and added them using your favorite applique' method to a simple square in a square. I have really learned to use a stabilizer when machine appliqueing and found some rolls of paper on the Internet that the doctor's office uses. It is inexpensive and works great. Very striking the Red, White and Blue color combination!

Quilting can be easy or hard depending upon what you want. The easier the better are my thoughts. I will probably make them into place mats, just in time for Veterans' Day in November.

What the (bleep) has happened here?

I don't know, I must be getting old lol! Seems like every time I get really good at one of these blog sites, they change the format and I have to start all over again. Seems like all my bookmarks are all gon, I don't see them at all, and this is upsetting. Oh well what the heck. I learned it before and now I'll learn how to do it again.

Anything But Bittersweet

Well, finished the top of Mystery Quilt 6. It was called "Bittersweet" but I thought the jelly roll I used had a very summery feel and colors so I renamed it "Anything But Bittersweet".

Then I finished a couple of Craftsy BOM for June and now I have a whole month to wait.

And also finished May's Grandma Favorite BOM, so now I'm all caught up and ready to start a Scrappy surprise tomorrow. I have also registered for a "Jelly Roll" special on Craftsy and have a beautiful "gold" Robert Kaufman "Katsumi" to work with and can hardly wait for tomorrow morning to start cut it up -- OH NO!

I'm getting excited to make my Red, White & Blue block hop in July, right here on "Funky Stamping Time". Got a couple of ideas floating around but have not settled on any one yet.
Until later, "the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise" I'll be back soon!

"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued,
is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you."

Roof is done!

Well almost! Still a couple of j-channels missing, but it looks pretty good from where I sit. I got my Mother's Day wish which was to have the roof complete and be able to sit out on the front porch in my new Bistro set.
We finished up our donation basket for the Silent Auction on July 7th.

And I've finished this month's B&W BOM besides several other items including the little doll quilt. Working on the Grandma Favorites and still putting the applique on the "Honey Bee" block.



So, I guess I'm going back to the sewing room shortly. Our corner entertainment unit is in, but I don't think I want to go get it tonight, tomorrow is soon enough.
Until later, don't let your heart be troubled the world isn't coming to an end on 12/21/12!

New Roof today, maybe!

Well, today they are suppose to start the roof, of course, they have been saying that for the past 1-1/2 months. Guess they need money now again. At least it isn't raining, two days in a row wahoo!
Other than that, not much going on. DS-I-L and I finished our basket for Kori's Kritter Benefit last night, well almost we still have to but the top binding on and fill it.
You may want to check out http://facebook.com/KorisKritters to see what is happening. The "White Elephant" Auction baskets are coming in almost daily. That is my next move is to talk with Kori's mom to change the name from "Chinese" to White Elephant, I don't believe we need to give them more publicity.
I hear some noise outdoors so think some of the trucks are arriving and my coffee is cold as am I.
For now, I catch up here again soon, the Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
