6 down and 8 togo!!

I finished 6 of my to-go cups for gifts. I did a little string piecing and used my stitches on the sewing machine to quilt them. I love these blues and greens together!!! they will be a fun gift for coffee and tea drinkers. I got the cups at a $$$ store in Florida. They were for kids to color and draw things for gifts. Well I am a big kid at times and I know my quilt friends are all kids at heart!!!

I love blues and greens together.
I have plans for gifts for some of my Friends with them. It's just finding the time to sew them into gifts?

I did a little sewing for my self!!

Hi it's been a while for me and my blog. Things keep me hopping here. With my DA and DU.
Uncle Al is going into a home next week. It's just getting to much to take care of him . I will still have My Aunt to TAKE CARE OF. BUT IT SHOULD BE A LOT EASIER. AL IS A BIG MAN AND IT'S SO HARD TO HAND HIM. HE IS IN BED MOST OF THE TIME. This is a photo of a little bag I won at my Tops meeting last week. I lost the most! I needed a book to keep my notes and #'s lost in . So I covered a small journal book that will fit in the bag with other things I need to take. By the way I lost 6 #'s last week!!! I was the big loser for the week!! I don't think that will be the case this Friday at the meeting with the 4th and then out to lunch at Applebee's this week!!!
I am hoping to get some sewing done but who knows around here what will happen next???

We had these bloom by the porch

The cactus are so bright . I love them when they bloom! I like it here so much better than Florida. No humidity!! I can breath again.


I even got to sew a little again. I hope things will get settled and I will have more time again.
Bisbee is a funny place. Lots of arts and craft people here and a lot of old Hippies. I have joined the fiber art council and hope to get to try some spinning and weaving. Maybe paper making?
Also dyeing of fabric and fibers.
I am so glad to have my computer up and running .





In Bisbee now!!

Yes I am finally here in Bisbee what a month It's been getting here and settled!

On the move one more time!

It's been a while!
My DU Al has been in and is out of the rest home now and we are going to move to Bisbee Arizona. My DA left with her daughter Saturday afternoon and Al , Little Dog and I will be going in about 2 weeks . Lots to do before we go.
The best part is Bisbee has a large art community. Maybe I will have a chance to do some sewing and fiber art.

Left over UFO's

HAPPY EASTER!!!
This is one of 2 table runners I am making out of left over blocks from my Christmas quilt. The other one is just the same. It's ready to quilt and bind.
Then I can start on some thing new.
I have been under the weather for all most 2 weeks with food poisoning. Don't eat salads out!!
Maybe I can get back to sewing now that I am starting to feel better.
