Happy 4th of July!

Remember the Flag Tumbler quilt that I wanted finished by today!  Well I made it and it is hanging on my wall.  I finished the binding yesterday and the hanging sleeve this morning. 

 

I did simple quilting on it, in the ditch on the straight

seams and in the cream strips and borders I did a serpentine stitch.

 

It is even kid approved!

 

Notice her red, white and blue nail polish?  Her younger sister wanted us to all have matching nail color for the 4th.

 

Here are my fingers.

 

 

Another view of my fingers.

 

And my toes!

 

We have two new household members!

 

Meet Sugar and Cinnamon.

 

 

Or Cinnamon and Sugar.

 

Cinnamon came to us on May 29th, from a neighbor, he was born on April 1st.  We thought he was a she, so don't ask me to check the sex of an 8 week old kitten.  Obviously, I don't do it well.

We didn't take the other litter mate because he was a boy.

So we got Sugar from the pound, she is about a year old. 

She came home with us on June 3rd. 

As you can see they are getting along well. 

 

They are both good cats and belong to the girls.  The girls have full responsibility for the cats, feeding, water, litter box, and brushing.  The girls have been doing an excellent job of being responsible pet owners.  That was the deal we made, they wanted cats after my cat Rosie died in March at age 15.

 

Well that's all folks. 

Happy 4th of July!  Be safe!

Happy Stitching, scrapping and living!

 

 

Guess Who is...

Sleeping soundly under his new quilt?  You are so right, Mr. B.!

Last night at 8:56 PM I put the last stitch in the binding and handed the quilt over to the new owner. 

 

I didn't get a picture last night, just too busy.

 

Tonight poor Mr. B. didn't feel well this evening, so he laid down in his recliner and put the quilt on himself.  Now he is happy sawing logs and has been for awhile.

 

Yup there he is, and that is how he likes to sleep in

his recliner with the quilt over his head.

 

The colors are off, that pink color is really red.

 

Meanwhile back in the sewing room I have began another project.  I hope to have this done by the 4th of July.  I think I will make it.

 

 

I started it on May4th, here it is just laid out on my design wall. 

 

 

 

Here it is with some rows sewn together.  This little quilt was designed by the owner of the LQS, A Quilter's Oasis were I teach.  It has been a fun little project so far.

 

I was at a scrapbooking convention all day and I am exhausted,

I am calling it a day, so night all!
