Another Burst of Sewing!

 One of my longer term UFO's is Tula Pink's City Sampler.  I have made progress on it this year and who knows it may get done next year.  Here are many of the blocks I did recently.  I also cut several more out and they are ready to go so that helps the progress alot!











 Kathy and I are both doing the 35th Ave. BOM again this year.  They got started a few months late so this will not finish until next year, but here is what one looks like so far.  We think we will border them in different colors and gift them to my nephew Ben and my almost nephew Christian.  Ben has several baby quilt and a Packer quilt I made him, but Christian joined out family later and never got one. They share a room at my brother's house (go back and forth to their mom/dad respectively) so I am hoping they are young teen boy enough with the grunge fabric.
 Kathy needed a baby quilt for her friend Krystal so we each made a Simple Gifts quilt last weekend.  Here is mine. 

My Serpentine Spider Web quilt is finally a flimsy.  Kathy and I started this at Bonnie's workshop in February last year at 35th Ave.  Each block takes about an hour to make and string quilts require strings ALL OVER THE PLACE!  I am so happy it is over!  I do love how it turned out and it has been on my list to make since I got the quilting bug and made a small one with a different pattern.
 This is Betsy Schnibbles.  I needed something quick to sew on a day over at Barb's house so I grabbed a few long on the shelf charm packs and made this one.  I rather miss making these!

The Quilt that Started it all...



Stamped Cross Stitched quilt I made while pregnant with Mac (who is now 19).



Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville challenged us to link up with our first quilt so.. this isn't the first quilt, it is actually quilt number seven which is really the quilt that started it all! I had sewn a few Christmas tree skirts and three quilts before this (scanned pictures from journal) but then didn't sew anything quilty from 1990 or so until 2003 when I got an itch to make this quilt which I had seen in a magazine. I so enjoyed the process that I have constantly been quilting since. I started out with one quilt at a time and now there are always a half a dozen or so in various stages and I am constantly looking for the next fix--ah I mean quilt! This quilt (modeled here with Randy's daughter Rachel) was for Randy's first granddaughter.

Catch Up of Other Activities!

I went to the Strong Tower Gaming Convention this year.  It was super fun.  I stayed in the hotel with Ashley and Miranda.  I was super tire...
