Family Day - Quilts In The Trees

 

It was a great day to hang quilts in the trees.  The 4th or 5th Annual Family Day for Wee Bee Quilters was a great start.  Those of us who are always on time were there at the center by 8:00, but where in the world was the Rec. Center people to set up this Family Day?  I don't think anyone from the center showed up until 9:30 or 10:00.  Any way we had our quilts up and just set around waiting for the center to get its act together.

 

The Weather was great.  Not too hot or cold but just right.  The wind was high so the quilts were flapping in the wind.

 

Thank God we had our own food this year (but we always do), because the center was lacking very badly.  They only had hot dogs and hamburgers and stir fried something.  No fish, no sodas and even the ladies with all the cakes were missing from this event.   Again I thank who ever (GOD) that looks after us, because as always I had the grill and we had our own hot dogs, a veggie burgers, with lots of salads and a cake from Loretta.  Pat's daughter Tiffany even went home to fry us some fish (She might have went out to catch it too). 

 

Here are some pictures from the event.

 

 

 

Sandra is working on knitting socks and it looks like she is almost finish the second one.  I am hoping for a pair this winter.  Please Sandra, I need some socks.

 

 Here is our own little hand quilter Emma, hand quilting away on a new project.  Did you check out here finish sign language quilt she finished.  Great work Emma.

 

And how can we not have the dolls.  Just look at them.  Oh yah, that is my Tammy Bag for the blog hop, don't for get to check it out on the 18th June.

 



 

 

Happy Quilting to all of you

Local quilt show

Yesterday Charlene, Felicia, Pat and I enjoyed a pleasant afternoon at the Southern Comforters quilt show.  There's nothing like a quilt show for inspiration and great eye candy!  Here are a few pictures:

I liked the twist-turn setting of these 9 patch blocks, it's a very pretty quilt. 

And the blocks in this one are very interesting:

This is right down my alley!  I'm sorry I didn't think to write down the quiltmaker's name on any of my pictures, but this is one I'd enjoy making.  Here's a closeup:

Visit my blog (Eat, Sleep, Quilt) for more quilt pictures and to see what else we were up to!

That's all for now, sew forth and sew on til later

THIS IS HOW I DO IT - TO SCRAPES

I thought I would share my latest project.  It's a "Doll Quilt Swap" I'm participating in over the Internet.  My partner gave me permission to "do my own thing"  whatever that is.  The quilt can be 12 inches to 24 inches and anywhere in between that.  This month's theme was anything green or spring like.  I'm glad had permission to do my thing.  Anyhoo, this is it.  I just need to finish my quilting, then do the binding, label and off it goes.  Since this is a monthly thing and the size is small, I thought it was a good way to try different and new techniques and things I want to perfect. hahaha.  On this one, I did some beading, hand applique and hand quilting. 

What you think????




Oh yeah, back to scrapes or is it scraps, man, where is my dictionary.  I don't want to go look for it because I'm on a road here.  Anyway, I'm doing this "mile a minute quilt" to bust my scrapes down.  I found a site on the Internet and It seem to be working for me.  Check my blog out  here  and see what I'm doing.
