Blocks for Jeaneane....

This past summer a tornado hit Joplin MO with a vengeance. 

I read a posting at Bunny Hill Designs 

where Anne Sutton asked
fellow quilters if they would help make blocks for Jeaneane. 

I could not imagine if this had happened to me. 

I knew I was going to help in some way
but it was a very busy time for me so...

...I sent a small package to Anne for Jeaneane...

no blocks but a charm pack of Kansas Troubles...

...so Jeaneane could start to build a new fabric stash. 

This past Sunday I spent the day with my friend Christa...

...we were going to have a sew day....something we haven't done in a long time.

she brought lots she could have worked on,

but instead we made blocks and more blocks

...blocks for Jeaneane.

We shopped in the morning,

 came home for lunch

 and sewed on blocks all afternoon,

had dinner and Christa left about 8 o’clock

....she said she had a ‘great day’ when she left.

  I had a great day too.  She is a great friend.

This is what we made on Sunday.

8.5" unfinished block x 10

Monday night Christa came over again, I ordered pizza and
we made 4 more blocks and made plans to make more...

here are the 4 blocks we made on Monday


and we are not done yet!!!
Anne Sutton is having a giveaway on her blog for anyone
who sends her blocks for Jeaneane.
You can read about it HERE.
Send the blocks to Anne so she receives them before December 10.
Anne says it will be a great prize.....(o:

Friday night sew in.....

.....with Heidi and Bobbi.

Yes I participated...

I was working on a tutorial.

I'm guest blogging on Wednesday

over at Sew We Quilt at Stash Manicure.

I was beginning to stress but now feeling pretty good

about the whole tutorial.

I'll be ready......I've no peeks....

just a hint....

I was working with Heather Ross's Mendocino fabric line

and it will go in my DGD's bedroom....

See you Wednesday with a giveaway!!

A package from Australia.....

A few months ago.....Vicki at the Pickledish Patch

was looking for some 'Swell' by Urban Chicks

and in my stash I found some yardage. 

I also had some 'Sweet' by Urban Chicks

and they work well together.

Vicki and I did a swap and I just luv my goodies. 

Don't you just luv 'Monday is Washing Day'....

the cutest clothes pin bag I've every seen

....for sure I'll be making a few of these....

and the 'Quilters Cottage' pattern....luv it

it has a wash line too!

I luv to hang my clothes outside on a washline

but am sad to say the subdivision I live in

does not allow them......it infuriates me when I pay the property taxes

and the home owners association tells me

 what I can and can't do on my property.

'just found out we have to get permission from them to put a new roof on our house'

'''this is not right'''

I've always been a quiet one but this 'quiet little old' one

just might have to make an appearance

at the monthly meetings....what do you think??????

Thank you Vicki....luv all the patterns and the

cute 'fairy' scissors.....

...coming soon......my 400th follower giveaway...

happy hugs

A bad start to the day and a thank you.....edited

...last week before we changed our clock back and gained that hour
that I never seem to get....
DH was driving into work...and it's blacker than the ace of spades
the car is not sounding like it should...and he suspects a flat tire!!
oops! (not his words I'm sure)...yes....it is...
he pulls into a parking lot with flood lights and he changes the tire
....in suit and tie and his AAA card in his wallet...
he arrives at work....leaving the hub cap in the parking lot.
On his way home....blacker than the ace of spades again
he stops at the lighted parking lot.....NO hub cap to be found....
The next day I take his car into Belle Tire....
(they had installed the tires exactly 2 years ago)
I waited for nearly 2 hours.....thank goodness I took my stitching.
...finally they call my name.......and this is what they took out of his tire
it is 5" long


the good news
the tire was under warranty so NO CHARGE!!

A Ghastlie project....

......I forgot to include in my 'parade of projects'. 

 The antique silk spool came from Bird Brain Designs. 

(just noticed they are out of stock, hopefully they will get them back in soon) 

It makes a perfect holder for my embroidery scissors....

I wrapped batting around the spool

then covered it with a scrap of Ghastlie fabric to make a pin cushion....

luv.....it.....it sits on the couch beside me...no more

hunting for my scissors!!

happy hugs

Have you had any sleep this month? I cannot believe how much you have done!!! All your projects are amazing. And you have used the fabrics in so many different ways. Now I finally know what you have done with the little table from the thrift shop. Love it!!  Have a wonderful Halloween. We have had quite a few knocks at the door tonight - it's getting late so nearly over for the children. Did you end up with snow?
