Hi There!

My very first official "Finish" for 2013!

I used the "Twister Tool"....

all THREE sizes, even!

This is the smallest one.

The finished block measures

(finished) 2 inches!

Gilbert and Bertha quilted a snowflake 

and loop design. 

It shows up real nice 

on the back of this wall hanging.

And here's a picture of our wall hanging.

I hope to make one for each month.

You can't see it, but I added a 

3D Santa Hat on the letter "A".

Well, that's it.

One quilt finished - Many more to go.

Friday's Agenda?

Hi There!

"What's on my Agenda, for today?", you ask. 

Well, I have to finish binding my "Christmas Dear Jane Swapped Blocks" table topper, bind our new "3A Quilting Banner", do Step 6 on Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt.  And did I mention that horrible word that starts with the letter "S"?!?!??!

Yup!

We'll probably be outside this afternoon.....

Shoveling!

Zelda, our 1 year old German Shepherd, sure loves the snow!  She wanted out 4 times, this morning and kept running round and round and round in our yard!

Gee... 

She must have gotten bored 'cause on her last "request" to go outside, she ran OUT of our yard and into the street - something she's NEVER done before and she KNOWS she's not allowed, ANYHOW!   

Aaaaaannnnd....  she's too afraid to do it, ANYHOW!!!

WTF?!??

I then had to get my boots on, winter coat, tuque and gloves, grab her leash and as I was heading down the side of the house, calling her name.... who decides to pop up??!?

The Princess herself!

*sigh*

And since I was out and all dressed, I decided to shovel out a bit of our deck.

And this was all before 6 a.m.!!!

Should be a fun day.

Will keep you all posted with pics!

Just Needs Binding...

 Hi There!

Our banner is now quilted.  

I just need to bind it, now.  

The binding will be a dark green.

I decided to design

a little Santa hat,

with a white button

as its pompom.

I used the 3 different Twister Tool sizes for this banner. 

I'll post 1 last picture once the binding's all completed.  

Hopefully the pictures will turn out better than these.

Later....

Almost there...

I'm like a kid on Christmas morning - I can't wait to see it hanging!!!

Will post more pics later!

Boxing Day Sewing!

Gilbert finished his quilt top. Took 'em 2 days to make it... His very first quilt... All by himself!!!

I'm right proud of him!!!

And me? Well, I worked on our wall hanging. Still need to add a couple more "strips" on the bottom, including appliquing the letters to "Quilting".

That should take me a bit of time to do... Tomorrow.

Its now almost 7 pm and I'm callin' 'er quits for tonight.
