Hang ‘Em High….

..the quilts that is…!  That’s what I did yesterday..I finished putting the sleeve on the Fit to Frame (which I stitched on holidays last Winter) and hung it on the landing at the foot of the stairs between the kitchen and living room~

Then I put a sleeve on Madeline and hung her in the downstairs bathroom…

…if Madeline could only talk!!

And then I put the binding and sleeve on the Schnibbles quilt “Rooibos” and hung her in my husband’s computer room..this way you can see her from the Entrance way…

This is my first OPAM Challenge finish for June!!

 

Our foyer is a bit of a maze…it’s rather large with a door to the right where the office is, then straight ahead is the door to the family room and bathroom, to the left is the living room…Now when you come to visit one of the first things that you will see is my little Rooibos!!      And IF all goes well and IF it doesn’t rain…can you guess what I’ll be doing?…and it’s not sewing!!                   

Yup…planting my flower pots!!  I am so late this year!  I usually have them done up by the middle of May but our weather has been the pits..  One things for sure..when if it  warms up our picnic table is going to be getting a paint job…it’s looking like I’m feeling!!  Yikes!  Not pretty….

Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Quilting!!

Sew On…and Sew On….

Yesterday I had such a busy day…sewing!!  Actually the truth of the matters is..I was SO into an audio book that I ‘couldn’t put it down!’  It’s called ‘Homefront’ by Chuck Logan- very good! 

So I finished the Rooibos quilts- minus the binding, which I need to buy today.  Put sleeves on the ‘Fit to Frame number Thirteen’ and on ‘Madeline’, so they are now hanging around the house. 

By this time, the story was really getting good so I grabbed my traveling tote and worked on these~

I love these little beauties…they are from the ‘Baskets of Life’ by JoAnn Mullaly or JAM. 

When I showed these little stitcheries before, some of you were wondering why I had left little holes here and there…now you can see…they are for the little woolie stars!!

I left the stars off as I only had one or two pieces of yellow/gold wool in my wool stash…since I started dyeing my own wool I sure don’t have that problem anymore!!  ;o)

It is so nice to be able to pull the tote out and find the perfect piece of wool!

So it’s the first Tuesday of the new month which means…IT’S CLUB DAY!!  I am off to the Cloth Castle all by myself ;o(…Dawn is on her sailboat, I shiver to think where…, Alice is just coming back from New York City…she went with 19 women!!  Wouldn’t that be fun?  And Claire’s son is being dismissed early today…SO I’m all alone…wanna go with me?  OK then, I’ve got the camera…I’ll meet you at the Starbucks right beside Cloth Castle.  See you there…

Have a wacky Wednesday and Happy Quilting!
