Finished Project #5 - "My Fruity Ladies"

Hi There!

During this past month or two, I've been close to finishing projects, yet there was always something holding me back.

Okay, I'll confess...
I've been procrastinating, once again!

*hangs her head in shame*

Well, I put my foot down and decided to finish these quilty projects.... once and for all!

Tonight, I finished the binding AND the label for
"My Fruity Ladies"!!!



Click on the back for a close-up of Gilbert's quilting.

This pantogram is called "Sunny Day".

Okay, here's a suggestion.

A few years ago, my Secret Pal, Jo had added these cute little cards, with her monthly gifties. I had put these cards away and this afternoon, while searching for something else, came across these cards.

The cards have a different quilt block, as well as the instructions on how to make it.

Since Gilbert and I have a clear plastic protector on our kitchen table, I've decided to bring these cards out and display them.

They're so pretty!




Hope you get to do a few quilty stitches this week!

Tic, Toc... Tic, Toc...

Hi There!

Last February, while in Florida, I went to visit a few fabric stores. While there, I picked up the funniest gal fabric, knowing full well that I would certainly find SOMETHING to make with it!

*VBG*

I even managed to pick up some coordinating pineapple fabric and some matching charcoal/black!

I've decided to finally make ME a lap quilt! And as this fabric reminds me of Frummie and Elaine, AND the fruit ladies are comical.... well, it's a cheerful, pick-me-up kind of quilt!

Here's the top of the quilt. Gilbert and "Bertha" - our longarm Gammill - did their magic on it, once again.

I selected our new pantogram called "Sunny Day" and it certainly showed up, on the back of the quilt!

Once I've finished binding it, I'll show you the completed pictures of this lap quilt, that I've named "My Fruity Ladies".

This evening, I tried making another "Blue Ocean" drink.

This time, I used:
1 shot of Blue Curaco
1 shot of Coconut Rum
1 small can of pineapple juice
1/4 cup of orange juice
and 1/4 shot of Grenadine.

It was fruity and tasty but instead of "Blue Ocean", it looked more like....

"Swamp Water"!!!

LOL

Oh?

Here's why the clock has been ticking, ticking, ticking....

One whole week of (almost) wasted time - practically NO sewing AT ALL...

"What was I doing?", you ask.

I was trying to figure out FaceBook!

Someone FINALLY explained to me why Gilbert and I needed to have a FaceBook "Page"... to help spread the word of "The 3 A Quilting".

Soooooooo..... with the help of family and friends, we've got somewhat of a "Page" started up.

Please be so kind as to visit us and YEP.....

"LIKE US",

as well....

Thanks!
