Me, I was working on half square triangles for a challenge we were given at Piecemakers in January. For years my sewing friends have been giving me their trim up triangles, chuckling and wondering what on earth I was going to do with all those triangles. I keep them in the box my friend, Sue gave me for Christmas several years ago <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFe-7vBmg881S2CVb1AepJf5TA7BQMWrCvBmROutuRV6ax0r5F-bc2NAGah4Bhgp2k2E-8o6JplAC7hQRYGgLL3s4_bZNvrXjzVErHvb1er8KG0fX6jXYHmZXUE9TcceDpIxrkkzoKpuxp/s1600/2012+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFe-7vBmg881S2CVb1AepJf5TA7BQMWrCvBmROutuRV6ax0r5F-bc2NAGah4Bhgp2k2E-8o6JplAC7hQRYGgLL3s4_bZNvrXjzVErHvb1er8KG0fX6jXYHmZXUE9TcceDpIxrkkzoKpuxp/s200/2012+001.jpg" width="200" /></a>setting on my shelf just waiting for an opportunity to come out and join the party.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSsGrv9mE12tkDjiSy2MKCJHqzur5882Uy5RfC0aNqy06CJBYEGEfMPNpX6xh8d2jTqTdu8VwiQdjVZI0-1yd39r_eSq6L996wBQABqOv9HB57FwTNnvc6zhMsZPQjoiAOf-O0os_ox8r/s1600/2012+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNSsGrv9mE12tkDjiSy2MKCJHqzur5882Uy5RfC0aNqy06CJBYEGEfMPNpX6xh8d2jTqTdu8VwiQdjVZI0-1yd39r_eSq6L996wBQABqOv9HB57FwTNnvc6zhMsZPQjoiAOf-O0os_ox8r/s200/2012+003.jpg" width="200" /></a> I use these as my leaders and enders each time I sew. Most quilters have found if you start with a piece of folded fabric under your needle to sew on and off at the beginning and ending of your chain piecing, you won't end up with a thread nest when you begin sewing. Not to mention the fact that you save thread when using this method of sewing. After reading Bonnie Hunter's book "Adventures with Leaders & Enders" I adopted Bonnie's method and instead of using that piece of folded fabric, I use the triangles my friends gave me and make half square triangles that are just waiting to be included in a quilting project. Never throw trim up triangles away, this is what you can do with them........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMLfQbvV2RL1sc2W0zN3ipwZGhLxMNL3hjQG46BoGUplGNjlhFrU70CwIcsO9ETPwZzYr9nxoSWUpgb2y5ZVL_fqIHG6HS-Dfrs5_IKYFRxWTkkbwJdcfUMVTJ0NYaOwNxUJWgr_MZnuca/s1600/2012+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMLfQbvV2RL1sc2W0zN3ipwZGhLxMNL3hjQG46BoGUplGNjlhFrU70CwIcsO9ETPwZzYr9nxoSWUpgb2y5ZVL_fqIHG6HS-Dfrs5_IKYFRxWTkkbwJdcfUMVTJ0NYaOwNxUJWgr_MZnuca/s200/2012+007.jpg" width="200" /></a>Now to add a border, this wall hanging must be at least 36" so here is the first border.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinzhhVwb7WmOfvNTWovjMxrZvJSJLkdyk6z8BoWziTGG8QGCQVCSPR0hiUjc5iEqUdF7Ove5o3MvR_y2ruTlmEKJSN1bqltiH83uBQSNJPcUJX9CUZCB4X_VLw4sImiY1atT6Sw25H_nMr/s1600/2012+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinzhhVwb7WmOfvNTWovjMxrZvJSJLkdyk6z8BoWziTGG8QGCQVCSPR0hiUjc5iEqUdF7Ove5o3MvR_y2ruTlmEKJSN1bqltiH83uBQSNJPcUJX9CUZCB4X_VLw4sImiY1atT6Sw25H_nMr/s200/2012+008.jpg" width="200" /></a>Still not there yet, so a second border........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-ZL9kKG8CKkz9tNx2MN0TIxadglFs2o_MWDoy2zoyMW_e4ZUHSZxffGWQGC6YSxDku42Ok1bSoJuCV5eviKT2qg9yck8KqD-nyYVyqKk7tjP7JInDXNvSWohT73u1S8Mko5mKWQZt6rZ/s1600/2012+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-ZL9kKG8CKkz9tNx2MN0TIxadglFs2o_MWDoy2zoyMW_e4ZUHSZxffGWQGC6YSxDku42Ok1bSoJuCV5eviKT2qg9yck8KqD-nyYVyqKk7tjP7JInDXNvSWohT73u1S8Mko5mKWQZt6rZ/s200/2012+011.jpg" width="200" /></a>Eureka! my project is done.....thank you sewing friends.

This year at Piecemakers we are working on a <strong>Civil War Quilt</strong>. For the month of January we are to make three blocks. The first block is the Arkansas Crossroads <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyjpncADUYQqz8wy5AcwDycDWMcPmVJUptQuLSiwUNcXjNWAbUbvJqxLB4C_8BZ6vSeQoL0zfNaOrUnpo6f_WpMAhHa6bHaDosWUu3bmOl9cSqPpRvEzuElvGghLdX90JYqKEoFh_bFEp/s1600/2012+012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyjpncADUYQqz8wy5AcwDycDWMcPmVJUptQuLSiwUNcXjNWAbUbvJqxLB4C_8BZ6vSeQoL0zfNaOrUnpo6f_WpMAhHa6bHaDosWUu3bmOl9cSqPpRvEzuElvGghLdX90JYqKEoFh_bFEp/s200/2012+012.jpg" width="200" /></a>The second is Union Square <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRnJ7Oh_rX0BRG8XJCc9MmxoA_NoN55GOotxssA7lW08-9HimKQDJ4LL79g-5vYUpJsc3tuhL6ipxYZgj5Pc9v0bTvz9OjTnlZsSYDN5KILoR_lW7WAxkqiBTfpWzuAoHdqImQzSkO3191/s1600/2012+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRnJ7Oh_rX0BRG8XJCc9MmxoA_NoN55GOotxssA7lW08-9HimKQDJ4LL79g-5vYUpJsc3tuhL6ipxYZgj5Pc9v0bTvz9OjTnlZsSYDN5KILoR_lW7WAxkqiBTfpWzuAoHdqImQzSkO3191/s200/2012+013.jpg" width="200" /></a>and the third and last is Red River Campaign<img border="0" height="150" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1qaGEDgiaSjfMXr2-UVfiZ1wzUrnN4Y4dFK4gXXuOWlZPxvW0XltGfs1R8A6CR1KvgU1YWJaUQVhXTEa-yR-0tZVU2eVJSts2NX83Y1pAjOCdwY2Ye7gqrvyiHrGj2hrfxxNPursyetLa/s200/2012+014.jpg" width="200" />. When working on quilts, I like to make two at a time. I figure the hardest part of making a quilt is the construction of the block, so if you do one more block while it is fresh on your mind, it isn't as difficult as starting from scratch.

Tuesday is our day to sew and we gather as a group to work on what ever project we need to work on. Each project is as diverse as is the person making the project, but we all call ourselves quilters. <br />
<br />
Mom's <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyd3bW9k7tneuMW3RSd0KOgGwLkhgLeM7Vp6JrAr-JFMSQm3aTy4-p75GO_CTIcyNaOVxxY7NI0b_wEWk625tiORNLEVH-5PIbIypS2L8i5FTA1haWd2LQHu-uS3MkVtPAdbQ6QKaKyKr/s1600/10-19-11+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" rda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyd3bW9k7tneuMW3RSd0KOgGwLkhgLeM7Vp6JrAr-JFMSQm3aTy4-p75GO_CTIcyNaOVxxY7NI0b_wEWk625tiORNLEVH-5PIbIypS2L8i5FTA1haWd2LQHu-uS3MkVtPAdbQ6QKaKyKr/s320/10-19-11+003.jpg" width="320" /></a>a new comer to the group, she may not be a quilter yet, but give us some time and we will convert her. Today I have her working on English Paper Piecing. Someday we will have enough hexagons to make a "Scrappy Grandmothers Flower Garden".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Judi's is busy working on her Applique` today,<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdAa8KOrx3bVD92Vi3iPR3OxJONg6CvTZfuDWT4suvPBsVBGQ0ybe0jr7rlCj9mzc2qSwXlOxgdReJ3QyWfVSVH6yEc6syA0Yt92Z-kz21YPFNPmUuxb6p4b0ujpQzGYfyaAibnDhSTME/s1600/10-19-11+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" rda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdAa8KOrx3bVD92Vi3iPR3OxJONg6CvTZfuDWT4suvPBsVBGQ0ybe0jr7rlCj9mzc2qSwXlOxgdReJ3QyWfVSVH6yEc6syA0Yt92Z-kz21YPFNPmUuxb6p4b0ujpQzGYfyaAibnDhSTME/s320/10-19-11+002.jpg" width="320" /></a>a skill she has certainly mastered. This will be a Calendar Quilt when she completes the project and you would not beleive the detail Judi has put into each of the blocks that will make up this quilt.<br />

We are making quilts for the Special School in Clinton, Victoria is the leader of this project. I am just amazed at the number of quilts that have been made so far and they are still coming in. Great going Victoria and all the other Piecemakers that are helping make this project a success. Mary Lou is busy hand sewing hexagons together adding to her "Grandmothers Flower Garden Quilt" blocks. This quilt is going to be absoluatly beautiful when it is completed. Mary Lou shows us some of the fabric<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBiZyzXIcJ1VmrRzfklCiMVJb1ZdrjBjALes_ANu5CqJF5Rrlf5b5fRws4ttAhYHMjPmnw78zvLfEI56DZIz0tAT9Yk0XwigaeoKYZJt_FP-WUnqugqQWAxiCkKuhDOlzUK0JvLfOYXCLr/s1600/Mlu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBiZyzXIcJ1VmrRzfklCiMVJb1ZdrjBjALes_ANu5CqJF5Rrlf5b5fRws4ttAhYHMjPmnw78zvLfEI56DZIz0tAT9Yk0XwigaeoKYZJt_FP-WUnqugqQWAxiCkKuhDOlzUK0JvLfOYXCLr/s320/Mlu.jpg" width="191" /></a> she has used to make her hexagons. Each piece has been fussy cut in order to get the perfect flower to make each hexagon. I can't wait to see the completed quilt.<br />

We started taking down trees on July 25, 2011 and the last touch was finished on September 24, 2011. Now the only thing we need now is <strong>Mom, </strong>and of course to make her life more comfortable, she is probably going to want some furniture.<strong> </strong><br />
<br />
Monday Randal, Doug, and Brandon returned to build the back porch and ramp. And finish up a few odds and ends. And on Tuesday they started on the door in my sewing room. As you can see my late door was a very large door with a very large opening.<br />

I'd like to share some of it with you. The writer, Luci Swindoll, said when she was a child, her family had a chiming clock that had been handed down through the generations, a well loved treasure. This clock chime kept them on schedule with everyday routines, like meal time, wake up time, and bedtime. Many nights, from their respective bedrooms each member of the family would call out the number of chimes until the last one stopped. <br />
<br />
One night, after all had gone to bed about midnight, the clock began to gong and they started counting: "Nine....ten....eleven....twelve." Just as they shouted TWELVE! the clock struck thirteen. They could hardly believe their ears. Where on earth did that come from? Then in perfect unison, they all called out: "It's later than you think!"<br />
<br />
Isn't that a problem for many of us? We are always running out of time. We hurry through life trying to get everything done: working over time, eating fast food in the car, racing down the highway. We've all studied Time Management along with Multi Tasking. Everyday chores encourage us to hurry. We can do our laundry twice as fast as our grandmothers did; We can travel coast to coast faster than our ancestors every dreamed; Even a simple handwritten letter that use to take hours to write can now be done with a few keystrokes and the press or a button or the click of the mouse. And yet, we seem to have less time than our grandparents did. What has happened?<br />
<br />
In our journey to save time, we're losing something important, <strong>the value of time</strong>. Our grandparents always had time for our parents as well as the grandchildren; They emphasized family meal time with beautifully served meals, they had time for family reunions setting under the shad trees having long conversations and thoroughly enjoying each others company. They had time for everything in life that was important, <strong>because they took time to live.....</strong><br />
<br />
Let today be the very day, do something that takes a bit of extra time to do and do it. Do it for yourself. Do it for a family member. Do it for a neighbor or friend. Do it for the Lord.....Don't wait for another time. Rejoice in this day and be glad! Tonight, your clock could strike thirteen.<br />
<br />
Whenever you find yourself in a hurry, bring this Scripture to mind, and rejoice in the Lord! <br />
<br />

<br />
Today the roofers arrived bright and early this morning to start removing the shingles on the older section of the house in order to complete the roofing of the entire house. Hopefully tomorrow I will have pictures of a new roof, or at least part of a roof. <br />
<br />
Mom and Sheri came for a visit for a couple of days, so they could see the progress of Mom's space. We so enjoyed their company. I think Mom is getting excited about the changes. It makes it a little easier when you can see in person the work that is being done. Pictures just tell part of the story. <br />
<br />
In the meantime piecing continues on my Apple Spice Quilt.

My friend, Carol, made this quilt a couple years ago and I just feel in love with the design. So I decided I would make one for myself. The first thing I started on was a block called <strong>"Snowball".</strong> To make this block, I started with an assortment of tan fabrics cut into 8.5" squares and sewed assorted red 2.5" squares in each corner of the larger block. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNIueusWOzImJvmPQAZbSNNb05Duh56NtIl9QCLIt_JsVpLgvw4p7EXaABqrY7vb-jO_LzdUm8p-FT6X_I4UjuP4XvfNuSigR236vOZl-fK8KagQFKImVfR5rI5-vPMA-oEslJn8M7iWHu/s1600/8-10-11+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNIueusWOzImJvmPQAZbSNNb05Duh56NtIl9QCLIt_JsVpLgvw4p7EXaABqrY7vb-jO_LzdUm8p-FT6X_I4UjuP4XvfNuSigR236vOZl-fK8KagQFKImVfR5rI5-vPMA-oEslJn8M7iWHu/s320/8-10-11+001.jpg" width="320px" /></a>Then I trimmed and pressed<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu0bL74fadAmw-U2JZjMkYTVEKK-uG1HSuaVfeLZdHYT3GNg-6LqGrWdwim9r8P38K3AKbKpl5nSxwpU0r_Y1FurRQM3RFk2R358sJMo3ogeUvb0qRLgg2ta3B4epW6YVt9FfiIjpp2I9H/s1600/8-10-11+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu0bL74fadAmw-U2JZjMkYTVEKK-uG1HSuaVfeLZdHYT3GNg-6LqGrWdwim9r8P38K3AKbKpl5nSxwpU0r_Y1FurRQM3RFk2R358sJMo3ogeUvb0qRLgg2ta3B4epW6YVt9FfiIjpp2I9H/s320/8-10-11+002.jpg" width="320px" /></a>each block making a total of 60 blocks that look like this <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzMiKjTWxVUJzUQ2UV1X25nuquctqOaVB0OoWMD9VL0jxDbcYaBGvRTnaa4Z5YGURZVYIyuIcA0INVnDOLozC38_bbT2LmEHtLyosUgltavlKG1IusvS9Qh6pS53w26WA6m0QpGZbS5VAH/s1600/8-10-11+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzMiKjTWxVUJzUQ2UV1X25nuquctqOaVB0OoWMD9VL0jxDbcYaBGvRTnaa4Z5YGURZVYIyuIcA0INVnDOLozC38_bbT2LmEHtLyosUgltavlKG1IusvS9Qh6pS53w26WA6m0QpGZbS5VAH/s320/8-10-11+005.jpg" width="320px" /></a>when they are finished. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>I led a Mystery Quilt Journey in 2010 at Piecemakers Quilt Group, in Clinton, AR. Each month I would give instructions for the blocks each person was to make if they wished to come along on this quilt making journey. I was hoping to give the group an opportunity to experiment with many different blocks and techniques. I told the group how many quilt blocks to make and what size block to make, but left the block and the fabric choices up to each individual. The only information I gave about fabric was to be mindful of using value throughout their quilt blocks. After ten months of making blocks, I gave them a Country Sampler layout. In July we all brought our quilts to our meeting for a picture opportunity. I thought you might like to see the end results of our journey. <img border="0" height="256px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFV3-yh5PCvT4mbWbNJBydgdGxRjVVHxD76fE3mV7uKFVG45Vjo8DoIi_HviwIzgMS51MRByAcy4ELBBSed5Gbs7S6pvjnTudAwOxsnSBYHNCXEbaJWSIDDT2TbTt1l2F3BO5T_xdhcAg/s320/Recently+Updated2.jpg" t$="true" width="320px" />Debihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14922704159216403191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912532873541387195.post-90249460918781564062011-08-05T16:17:00.000-05:002011-08-05T16:17:06.387-05:00And then there was a Green House<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Builders arrived first thing this morning ready to work. They removed the oak boards on the outside of the back bedroom where the new section will be attached to the house. Yesterday, while removing some of the boards under the eve of the house in order to attach the new walls they found a little surprise.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH6RYngaOiO_P2fDfu-bWHkEz2mRjfcQmkTIT2k9xYz9mtX3RodJ4r8WOWVg835a55zzbi1K6YcuQB9NDmkkbg_Y0fIRzNLYcEsVSCn_egFbVeo400KVzs-LFgvihRL449UNv5PXIJoMq3/s1600/8-5-11+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH6RYngaOiO_P2fDfu-bWHkEz2mRjfcQmkTIT2k9xYz9mtX3RodJ4r8WOWVg835a55zzbi1K6YcuQB9NDmkkbg_Y0fIRzNLYcEsVSCn_egFbVeo400KVzs-LFgvihRL449UNv5PXIJoMq3/s200/8-5-11+002.jpg" t$="true" width="200px" /></a>No wonder George received multiple wasp stings while working on the deck outside the back bedroom a couple of years ago. Thankfully, George had sprayed the nest the year he was stung and the wasp never revisited these nest. Nevertheless, it was a surprise to the Builders when they found these.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First time out this morning Randall greeted me saying <strong>"Well, you finally got a Green House you wanted".</strong> Hummmmm not exactly the Green House I had envisioned. The Green House I always wanted has a bit more glass, as in all glass. Nonetheless, I was very happy to see the next step. Green Board has been applied.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have told my friends for many years I am a committed quilter, I think some of them are starting to nod their head in agreement. They are starting to think I need to be committed. One wasn't enough I had to do two. Here is a closer look. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyoOT5xfFONeVedsiomZCE3Z2B_sysMWmSLR1TbntooP6uxrlgSu6U2a4SbWa2hbqavaIBP3553YodKcbwUOXVCphAMWWCJyh_x2AuuQex2nuS4-DB4B6vl6h8Wg4meaNQwve3FKxF67wU/s1600/8-4-11+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyoOT5xfFONeVedsiomZCE3Z2B_sysMWmSLR1TbntooP6uxrlgSu6U2a4SbWa2hbqavaIBP3553YodKcbwUOXVCphAMWWCJyh_x2AuuQex2nuS4-DB4B6vl6h8Wg4meaNQwve3FKxF67wU/s200/8-4-11+002.jpg" t$="true" width="150px" /></a>It is different from the finished quilt I showed you yesterday, and I got this one right the first time. However you can see I took my on advice and I took a picture before I put it on the quilt frame. I hope to share the quilt back with you tomorrow. While taking this picture I got another surprise <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_PjCyrwSQj120vS-OZji3_IEfyFLS-G1GrvphfhyphenhyphenQ9wYBJMrBwUpyL8q2Ya17qxSxlyKXv-4i4dAQ5PQV25rLsfgbwd8XeWgVJvXIIr03H2BuRlx6px5RvlvXSUJt7LK0UqHC7Mlz-vz/s1600/8-4-11+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_PjCyrwSQj120vS-OZji3_IEfyFLS-G1GrvphfhyphenhyphenQ9wYBJMrBwUpyL8q2Ya17qxSxlyKXv-4i4dAQ5PQV25rLsfgbwd8XeWgVJvXIIr03H2BuRlx6px5RvlvXSUJt7LK0UqHC7Mlz-vz/s200/8-4-11+008.jpg" t$="true" width="200px" /></a>My Surprise Lilies are blooming. My daughter Shellie gave these bulbs to me 15 years ago and I am always surprised each year when they come up. You see Surprise Lilies put the leaves on in the Spring around April and all you get at that time are the green leaves. The leaves die in May or June and then in August you get the surprise of the Lilies popping up on leafless stems. If you look close you will see a Butterfly on the flower on the left. As I took another pictures the Butterfly moved just as I snapped the picture <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4MdpKN6PqOh6HJwW-WoOoP86pMZ5EMMLtVJY_jkszHNHjS9UTotEJf6X8Re7x89OgrPDQuP_IxRvZ7I_A55Vk3xKPXpWHPiVoYikG81guZm2ccZYl-6jDmjZ-yyH4-vqjjBhbP-XNRrZ0/s1600/8-4-11+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4MdpKN6PqOh6HJwW-WoOoP86pMZ5EMMLtVJY_jkszHNHjS9UTotEJf6X8Re7x89OgrPDQuP_IxRvZ7I_A55Vk3xKPXpWHPiVoYikG81guZm2ccZYl-6jDmjZ-yyH4-vqjjBhbP-XNRrZ0/s200/8-4-11+007.jpg" t$="true" width="200px" /></a>The leaves you see in the garden are a ground cover called Vinca Minor they have a small blue flower in the spring. <br />

While I was sewing on my Quilt back George took the opportunity to cut some more of the Hickory Tree that is down in the side yard. <img border="0" height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjp9G8OMivcB9G5JX5vkO_YLaMqYKv6eqpP9fvi8bDlBN_Zw98qB0zsgoHrqBNYuXAl4DVJV6hxDMhEm0Sdbg-3CK2CobGM8EsytWrTw_Rna5zT-YjzEHX7DhjPXpRU6LqVgN1B76W3TIZ/s200/8-4-11+010.jpg" t$="true" width="200px" /> Can't wait to see what gets accomplished tomorrow.Debihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14922704159216403191noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912532873541387195.post-4931132030868868542011-08-03T15:28:00.000-05:002011-08-03T15:28:59.050-05:00A couple of Quilts finished - And the Sub Floor is Down<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Builders arrived Tuesday morning to do some trim up work and lay a plastic barrier on the ground which will soon be under the house. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhEvXeya0iVQvePROrjjQsZmGN7dbanaO_tbF1cGBQCatdfm2a58g6ytn3faFbGnVtpaKHQTXHPzX2zjTDoAo22q90Leca3mn9HMTaD4VukDs29yigVv5v9-cq2_4XtGm1fdkRIOnwXaBD/s1600/7-28-11+035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhEvXeya0iVQvePROrjjQsZmGN7dbanaO_tbF1cGBQCatdfm2a58g6ytn3faFbGnVtpaKHQTXHPzX2zjTDoAo22q90Leca3mn9HMTaD4VukDs29yigVv5v9-cq2_4XtGm1fdkRIOnwXaBD/s200/7-28-11+035.jpg" t$="true" width="200px" /></a>Lumber was to arrive later in the afternoon, so I took the opportunity to work on a couple of quilts.

Once I looked through the camera, I knew immediately that something was majorly wrong. OH NO! I had much unsewing to do......I'm no quitter, and just so you will know this about me, this is what the quilt looks like now...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJY-3vvFJvAIeA1yIUtlgvStpa91kuKXxcp58Ow1_tb1txivmjRsUorcDBCd9i2EYJIDTIIEPO1JSjPZynswnz_nIurnMKE8oSoQVkOLm7V6M0Kiz-NFhkR6nZbiOd00Gr9efftjpdx-Q/s1600/7-28-11+028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJY-3vvFJvAIeA1yIUtlgvStpa91kuKXxcp58Ow1_tb1txivmjRsUorcDBCd9i2EYJIDTIIEPO1JSjPZynswnz_nIurnMKE8oSoQVkOLm7V6M0Kiz-NFhkR6nZbiOd00Gr9efftjpdx-Q/s200/7-28-11+028.jpg" t$="true" width="150px" /></a>Much better! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This was to be a "Make Do Quilt". Meaning when you run out of one particular fabric find a different fabic to use in its place. I'm not sure you can see the different fabrics, you might just have to take my word for it, but they are in there. Also, I had planned to use the brown for the setting triangles, but didn't have enough fabric so I made do and used the red instead. And I love the outcome.</div><br />
