Happy Black Friday to you all!

 

I hope your day is filled with pleasantness on the crazy retail day! 

Take a deep breath and show others gratitude!

 

30 Days of Thanks~Day 23

I am thankful that I don't necessarily have to be out and about early this morning on this Black Friday!  I remember the days of getting up early when my son was little.  My friends and I had to go get the latest and greatest for all our boys!  Now, I am glad that certain clothes and money are requested by my college son!  :)

Have a very Happy Friday!

 

Fun Friday!

Happy Friday!

Today is a catch up day on some projects.  I will be posting a lot more this coming week.  Sorry for the delay, but this week has been a busy one, and some things have come up that have taken my attention away from sewing and other projects.

 

30 Days of Thanks~Day 16

 

I am very thankful for girl time with great friends!  It is always fun to have lunch with my friends!  We can laugh, catch up and just have fun!

 

What are you thankful for today?

Fun Friday

TGIF!  Happy Friday!

 

Today is a fun and busy Friday!  Getting lots done in the world of sewing!  Here is a sneak peek of a project I worked on and it is getting ready to go to my long arm quilter to be quilted especially for someone very special!  I can't give details right now, because it is a surprise! 

 I will reveal it very soon!  Happy sewing today!

 

 

30 Days of Thanks~Day 9

 

I am thankful today that God has given me a very loving, giving heart.  I love to do things for others and I love to give all I can.  I am in the process of working on several charity quilt projects and it just warms my heart to know that these will go out into the community with lots of love to those in need.  I don't do it for any kind of recognition, as some do, I just do it because it is such a joy to help others! 

Fun Friday!

Happy Friday to You!

Today is Friday and time to get ready to have some fun!  I will be sewing most of the afternoon and weekend!  I am trying to get several projects finished, so I will be very busy!  Here is a snippet of a project I worked on this past weekend that I will be finishing this weekend!  It is for one of my swaps.  I have several things in the works and getting ready to start some new things!  Very Exciting!

 

 

Yesterday, I started 30 Days of Thanks! Today is Day 2!

 

Day 2: I am thankful for my dear, close friends who are such a joy to be around! We keep each other laughing and we keep each other grounded. It is truly a blessing to have such great friends who you can talk to, share fun and laugh with and share joys and sorrows with! True friends are very rare and very precious! You all know who you are!

 

Hope you have a very Fantastic Friday!

Fun Friday

Happy Friday!

 

It's time to have some fun!  It's going to be a busy weekend for me!  I have lots of little projects to get finished and several that I need to get started.  I have to run and do a few things today and then I am going to settle in to some serious sewing!  I bought some Christmas fabric the other day and here is some of what I bought!  I love snowmen and I just couldn't resist this line from Basic Grey!  Love these little snowmen and I just love these colors!  I think this might end up as a Christmas quilt, but who knows!  I just love it!

 

What kind of fun things do you have planned for this Friday and the weekend?  Let me know!  

 

Have a Fantastic Friday!

Fun Friday

Happy Friday!

 

TGIF!  It is Friday!  It's been a long week and I am glad the weekend is almost here.  It has not been a very productive week, but that OK.  I will work hard this next week to get some things done.  :)

 

I wanted to share the fall table runner I recently did for a swap.  It is on its way to its new home and since it is out of the country, I am waiting anxiously its arrival.  I used a pattern in the book from Dare to Be Square by Boo Davis.  I modified the Chain Reaction Table Runner so that I could make wonky stars!  I just love the pumpkin fabric and I love how it turned out!

TGIF! 

I hope your week has been a good one so far! 

It has been a busy one for me and its going to be a busy weekend also!

 

I wanted to share my stack of fat quarters I just received!  At our local Modern Quilt Guild meeting, we play a game called Left, Right, Center or as we call it the "Fat Quarter Game."  Participants bring three fat quarters and we roll three dice to begin with.  If the dice lands on R--you pass a FQ to the right, L--pass to left, C--FQ goes in middle of the table to the "STASH".  If you roll a Dot, you keep the FQ til next turn.  You could keep all three FQ, lose all three, or keep one or two.  So, on the next turn, if you have two FQ, you roll two dice, etc.  As the continues around the table, we all stand and oooh and awww at the fabric and whose losing it and gaining it!  It is quite a fun game.  At the end, the person who ends up with the last FQ, wins the stash of fabric!  WooHoo!  We always have a theme of colors and this month was neutrals--mainly solids--white, gray, tan, brown, etc!  Guess what!  I won!  So now, I have 27 FQ's to add to my fabric stash!  I was so happy, because I do not have a lot of the neutral colors.  Yes, I have white and gray, but I did not have some of the browns, creams and tans and I love the three prints that one person brought.  I think I may just have to make a quilt with just this group of fabric!  It could be a really fun quilt!

 

 

Hope you all have a Fun, Fantastic Friday!

Fun Friday

Happy Friday!

 

TGIF!  Glad this week is about over!  It has been a busy week.  Here is some fun fabric I picked up in Georgia two weeks ago.  The aqua fabric is Michael Miller's Cotton Couture solid.  I have not used any of there solids yet, so I though I would pick some up and see how it is.  It is very soft to the touch and I matched it up to this lovely Parson Gray yard of Curious Nature.  I had been wanted some of this line and they just happened to have it and it matches perfectly with the aqua!  Love it!  Not sure what I am going to do with it, but we will see!  :)

 

 

Going to be a busy weekend, so I am off to get some things done! 

 

Hope you have a great day!

Fun Friday!

It's Friday!

 

Welcome to Friday and to the end of another week!  I wanted to quickly share with you a cute piece of fabric I received in a swap recently!  It is the cutest fat quarter of sewing machine fabric!  It is so FUN!  I am not sure what I am going to do with it yet.  I have to find the perfect project for it.  It will probably be something for my sewing room, but I don't know what yet.  In the mean time, I am going to hoard it and wait til I get a great idea, because it is just too special for just anything!  If you have any ideas, please let me know!

 

 

Have a Fantastic Friday!

 

Fun Friday!

It's Friday!!

 

Time to have some fun!  I have finally been able to get back to sewing!  Last night I made a mug rug for a gift and I will post it soon.  It has to go to it's recipient first!  Then, I was able to get the binding on a quilt and that will be posted soon!

 

Today has started off with a great walk of three miles on a greenway and I am going to be working on my table runner.  I am so excited to finally get this started.  I will take pics and update you on it's progress.  It's going to be fun!

 

As summer is about to officially end soon, I was thinking about our beach trip and all the fun we had.  I took this picture of all the colorful beach umbrellas and it's just a fun and happy reminder of why I love the beach!  Such bright and colorful fun...It makes me happy!

 

Have a Fantastic Friday!!
