Some Completed Projects

I love Camp Ocean Pines.

The quilt retreat was relaxing and fun. Annie does a great job organizing these retreats and having great teaching moments.

I did get some things accomplished.

I finished stitching around the butterflies in Macy's quilt,

I made some neck pillows,

and a little bird just for fun.

Here are some quilt blocks I'm working on.

And I finished my little quilt for our new grandson due any day now.

We're excited and can't wait!

I'm still working on the quilt with the cars and trucks.

Pictures will come later.

Then when I got home I put the pedal to the metal and finished Macy's quilt.

I put on the colorful border and quilted it with loopy loops and flowers.

I was worried that it would be too stiff from all the fusible web,

but after I washed it, it was nice and soft.

Here is the label that is on the back.

Robin called this morning to tell me it arrived in time for Macy's birthday and that Macy loves it.

As I'm writing this blog, Macy is having her

"Shake it Up With Macy" birthday party.

Happy birthday Macy. We love you!

I'm going to end this blog showing you this cute wicker rocking chair and table I got at an estate sale yesterday. It looks so cute outside my mom and dads back door in the back yard. I just mentioned I like the chair, and they said I could just have it....and would I like to have the table as well?

YES PLEASE!

I love it when that happens.

Four Projects in the Works

I have 4 projects that I am trying hard to complete by their deadlines.

Baby Grace will be one in a few weeks.

I just completed her little doll last night.

I found the pattern on line. It's called Ruby Doll http://www.oneredrobin.com/

Next is Macy. She is due for her 3 year old big girl quilt.

I have lots more to do on her quilt.

Right now I am sewing around the butterflies with my buttonhole stitch on my machine.

It is pattern called Flutter, by Allison Jane Smith in her book Frills. http://www.plaidsandprints.com/

We are so excited about our new grandson coming early in April.

I am making him ... not one ... but two quilts.

I have a bag of remnants, from a men's clothing company.

I cut up strips to make this cute log cabin block quilt. I plan on quilting it today.

Here is the other quilt I'm working on.

I am embroidering the cars and trucks in brown.

The fabric I will be using is this green and brown.

Then.... for fun and relaxation I will be leaving on friday for another quilt retreat

with Annie Smith. http://www.simplearts.com/

I'll bring back some pictures.
