Some finishes for the week and an almost finish...

This framed 9 patch just needs the binding stitched down.

I've made a two sided binding and 

it will be another donation quilt.

All the prints are florals.

 We took a quick trip to Canada last Saturday and returned Monday evening.

Our youngest Granddaughter turned 6...
and there was a surprise birthday party for her.
Today our oldest Granddaughter turns 11...

The time, when, visiting the grandones always goes too fast...
they always try to get us to stay for one more sleepover.
While travelling to Canada, about 4 hours each way,
I am stitching or knitting...

and resting my eyes occasionally.

This trip I knit 2 scarves for Mamaspark...

...it is an easy project to knit in the car while travelling.

I had 4 Tammy bags that needed the purse frames sewn on...

I stitched one of them in the car.

So far I've made 3 of the aqua and pink

2 with the breast cancer fabric...love the daisies

2 with the cat and mouse fabric...they are sEw cute!

In total I've completed 10...luv these bags.

Wednesday DH and I made another batch of pasta sauce...

a smaller batch and probably the best batch this year.

Each batch tastes different....there is no real recipe.

There are lots of tomates, red ones and yellows in this batch

onions, a large zucchini, celery, sweet orange peppers,

garlic, a hot pepper, fresh parsley and basil

salt, fresh ground black pepper and a little sugar.

We taste it many times before we think it is 'delicious'...

...it simmers at least 4 hours and usually much longer.

...before 

and after... 

 I also made a pot of cream of broccoli soup...yummy!!

This was lunch on Wednesday and it was sEw good...delicious!!
Toasted BLT's and cream of broccoli soup
with cheese and croutons.

just a few more days for the giveaway...see previous posts

I'm linking up with crazy mom quilts 'Finish it up Friday'.

happy stitching

My Day is March 14.
My one project is finished, yes just one project....just need a few photos.
I will be scheduling my post before I leave on vacation.

I have been knitting....
3 more frilly scarves finished in February

...I have been embroidering...

This is Bird Brain Designs Santa Quartet pattern.

I stitched it in 10 days from start to finish...a few late nights!!

...I finished piecing the Red White and Blue Great Granny Square Quilt.

It's even quilted and bound.

It will be donated to the Ann Arbor Veteran's Hospital.

I did a demo of the great granny square at our January quilt meeting.

Yes. I've definitely been keeping busy...I even managed to bind 

a queen bed size flannel quilt....a beast of a quilt, but beautiful.

Sorry no picture...it is for a cancer charity auction.

A co-worker of Mama Sparks made the quilt.

I was playing with lots of fabric at CrazyQuiltGirl Fabric Shop last week

Corina has 6 bolts of Happy Town fabric in stock

and is expecting 2 more bolts by Monday

Henry Glass Fabrics is sponsoring a contest using the Happy Town fabric 

designed by Jacquelynne Steves.
First prize is $500.00, second prize is $250.00
All royalties from this fabric are donated to Quilts for Kids.

Starting Monday I will be working on Quilts for Kids quilts...
I have a few ideas for some lap size quilts and am anxious to get started.

I'll be working on my stitchery project for the Stitch Me Up Blog Hop too.
That will keep me busy for the month of March.

Happy stitching
