Progress!

 Progress on my sew a long. This is one block and then the blocks with a 2 1/2" lattes, top done . I did add a 2 1/2" border of white on white scraps after this photo. I am going to put a red scrappy biding on it when Jennie gets it quilted.

 Below is a throw for my DF Debby. A Christmas gift .

 The next is a leaf block trade I did about 7 years a go.  I found it while looking for something else. I had some time one afternoon so  put it together . I finished  binding it last night .

 DD Jennie gave me quilting PJ's for my Birthday.

 I have been making ornament's for  The sew a long for any one that finishes their quilt. The trees are for my family . I make them a ornament every Christmas.

The gift bags where the Quick Quilt Sat. project last Sat. We also made these in our Orchard group a few years ago . Fast and easy to make.
It's getting colder here and I am not liking it.  But that's the way it is so I just have to deal with it.
Stay happy and sew! Flicsha

Sew A Long.

 I am hosting a sew a long in my Quick Quilt Sat. group on Facebook. Here are the fabrics I picked out.

 I have a wide variety of white on whites.  But not enough of one to make the quilt so I went controlled scrappy for this project.

 I pulled red and greens I liked . So yes this is a Christmas quilt. But you could use any fabrics you liked I think it would be great in Aunt Gracie's or batiks or what every you like.

 This is as far as I have got but give me a few days.

My art quilt group on the 15th of every month had numbers as the team. This is my birthday month so I made my self a quick birthday card .  They said to use important numbers  this year it's 67.

I have been working on Christmas gifts and other things . Her is a Coca-Cola quilt for my Aunt Bonny. She love and collects Coca-Cola things.
Keep quilting . Flicsha

This and that.

 DD Jennie made this  pretty throw for her M other in Law Wanda's birthday this last Sat. It will be warm to snuggle under this winter in her recliner.

 I am doing a sew along and these are the fabrics I picked. Totally scrappy. Yes but controlled scraps.

 I got it cut today and it's ready to sew. Check back to see my progress.

Well it's Happy Birthday to me ! In my 15th of the month challenge group the them was numbers. Well this is my new number! I all most forgot about it until 4:00 this afternoon. So it's a hurry up and get it done project this month. I will try to do better next month. May be? Yes I am getting old . Maybe not in my thing but my body tells me it every day.
It's getting cold tonight and maybe our first freeze or frost of the year. I hope not. That would be the end of the tomatoes! Oh how I love them!  Say warm and cozy tonight! Flicsha

What I got from my Dear Pen Pal Dianna F.

 I got my monthly package from Pen Pal Dianna F. What a nice package. Love the fabrics. The new blades are all ways a good thing. Marking pencil and post it notes.

 And most of all she sent me a Viking sewing machine , When she heard my machine died she thought I could use this one .

 I can't tell you all how nice it is to be thought of by someone that hardly knows me. She has become a great pen pal and friend over the months . I am blessed to have such good sewing and quilting friends in my life.

Thank you Dianna for your genres gift so I can keep sewing and quilting.

For now I have to go play with the new machine ! Flicsha
