Where to start?

This month is pink month at Rainbow Quilts, by Angela.  Since pink is my favorite color, I have just loved seeing all the pink creations!!  Above are my pink blocks sewn so far.

These are current year blocks combined with orphan blocks from the past.  Since they are all 6 inches finished, they will combine nicely for a sampler quilt.  I will continue to add to them throughout this year. 

This quilt rack was given to me, and I am trading out quilts on it as the whim strikes me.  Great fun!!

I have been hand quilting my plaid string quilt, and I am happy to announce that the quilting is almost done!  Hurrah!  30 minutes a night does wonders in finishing it.  but.....

that has not happened lately!!! because...

We had some intruders in our little farm, squatters if you will.  The Sheriff and a trip there cleaned them all out, replaced all the broken windows and cleaned up all the mess.  wow!!  So that took a lot of time and energy.  Security measures are in place now!!  Electric fence, anyone?  

Then...I felt a warm spot in my kitchen floor.  This felt so nice on my feet for half a second, then I realized...we had a slab leak.  The pipe from the hot water heater had burst, spilling hot water under the house foundation.  This has expanded to replacing all the pipes in the whole house, after the plumbers gave us the bad news.  Let's just say I will be working overtime for quite some time paying for this little adventure!!!

So I am back to quilting, after laundry and cleaning today.  The house is still a disaster after the pipe replacement required all the closets, under sinks and garage area be totally emptied.  wow!!!  The second inspection will be soon, and then I can get things put away and back to semi-normal.

So that is my story!!  and I am sticking to it!!  How are you doing?

Happy Memorial Day to all!!

Sewing right along!

Hello!!  I made a few zipper bags for the guild sales table, to raise money for the guild scholarships.  I bought zippers on Amazon for pennies each!!

This is my quilt of valor for this year.  I have all the nine patches made, just working on the red blocks now.  Zipping along!!

Those scraps bins are just the best!!  I am making 6 inch star blocks, and they are so much fun to make!!  I just love scraps so much.

I have all the blocks sewn for the rail fence quilt.  Lucky the kitty very much enjoys helping with quilting as he can.  Ha!!

 I have had these blocks sewn for a long while, but recently sewed them all together.  Great fun!!

******************************Nurse's notes*********************

I have had a bit of a cold for a month.  Recently I took a trip to help my family during some medical stuff, and I came back dang sick.  Fever, sore throat, and so much junk in both my sinuses and lungs.  I just could not shake it and stopped wanting to eat.  I knew then I was pretty sick, Haha!  Turns out I had some flu.  Well, yuck!!! I do feel much better now, thank goodness, and just have the cough remaining. 

On we go, friends!!!
