Long time way.

 A long time gone. Just wanted to share my flip flops with you . It's a sign of summer living for me.

We did wacky stars in quilt group July .  we all made 3 and then into table runners or what ever they wanted.

Party time!

 these are my place mat so a long steps for this last Sunday.

 This is the Christmas so a ling for my Quick Quilt Saturday group. All done.

 Our Orchard quilt group here in town had their Christmas party this last Wednesday. We all had a nice time with games good food and time shared. We all ways have it in November because it gets so busy in December. It's a nice way to kick off the Christmas season. the empty set is mine.

Wishing all of you a Very Happy Holiday Season!

Stuff I am doing!

 I did 2 paper pieced hot pads as a sample for quilt group. Then I had scraps left so I did some improvisational piecing .

 The 5 mug mats are just pieced as I could. They were faster than the paper pieced hot pads. I had fun doing them.

 We are doing a sew a long for Christmas in my Swap and Quilt group on the internet. IT will be 4 place mats when I get done. Each week we get instructions on Sunday. This was steps 1, 2, & 3.

 I made Jennie a One Hour Basket yesterday. It turned out a lot larger than my basket did.

 I am entering my turkey in the Hy Vee & Norfolk Daily News decorate the turkey contest you can win $25.00 or $100.00 in gift certificates to Hy Vee. I could use some groceries!

And last is my fabric layer cake Roses and Chocolate I got from my wonderful Pen Pal  Dianna , for my birthday
I love the fabrics in the pack. I am going to have to make myself something special out of it..
Keep busy and quilting! Flicsha

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
