Dustin and Gina Visit, Georgi’s Birthday, and “Another Glimpse”

The long awaited day finally arrived. I picked up Dustin and Gina at Key Field in Meridian. Dustin enjoyed telling us about some history of the airport while we waited for luggage.

Georgi had her 5th birthday last week.

She had a hard time blowing out her candles. They kept reigniting, so Andy helped her blow.

Joel enclosed and finished out a cubby hole in their loft just a little bigger than a twin size mattress for a new place for the girls to sleep since they are boarding our kindergarten teacher, Claudia. Claudia is Sheila’s sister.

I’m stitching the cattails down on my quilt, “Another Glimpse.”

Tina, Guests, and Sailing II Art Quilt

Life …
I took care of Tina one day this week. Her favorite puzzle piece was the motorcycle.

Building towers with my thread kept her occupied for a while.

Paul’s niece, Melissa & Scott and Kaylie from Michigan came to visit her family over the holidays.

We invited our family and a few from her family for supper. Her grandma Louise, her momma Miriam, her SIL Laura and …

… their spouses who had no problem not posing for a picture.

Georgi stayed for a ‘sleep over’ party.

… as a Quilter

There is still time to leave a comment for your chance to win my 4 yards of 100% cotton quilting fabric here.

I have decided now to make a series of Sailboat art quilts. So I took this picture, which is a little different from the other one …
Sailboat 4c

… and made it into another small art quilt, Sailboat II. It measures 7”X10”.

The back is finished with “fast finished triangles” and is ready for mounting.

Mother and Me

I so much enjoyed having mother here for 2 weeks.

When she finished her “Blue Ribbon” quilt top …

… I took her outside for a photo shoot.

Back inside, she started on her third quilt. Remember how Emily sorted my scraps by color? I chose the orange drawer and the purple drawer for a crazy quilt.

Mother cut out the foundations and then pieced the blocks like she has been doing for years with velvets.

She took both of these tops home with her hoping to quilt them with her sewing machine.

A New Project & Georgi

I have started a new project. And I know you are thinking that I need to finish up some of my other projects first. However, this one has a deadline, and if I don't start now and keep at it, I'll miss the deadline. So, I've pushed everything else to the back burner.



I need 36 blocks similar to these. Some of them will be "double" blocks without the black triangle. And then you can see on the top row that there are 2 with smaller black triangle centers. I'll have to pitch those blocks or use them for something else, maybe on the back of the quilt.

Georgi gets her hair combed sitting by the sink. When she was smaller Sheila sat her down inside the sink to get the job done!

Orca Bay, Georgi's Birthday, & Concrete

My Orca Bay mystery quilt is still in the assembly stage. Bonnie has done a fantastic job in giving us step by step instructions for making this beautiful quilt.
To see more "Monday Design Walls" visit Judy.

I decided to swap around the light and dark Ohio Stars and also to replace the white stars with the black background with a blue center. Then I think it's important to make sure the blue strings are running diagonally toward the blue centered Ohio Stars. Does that make any sence?

Paul wanted to add on a lean-to to the shop to get some of the farming equipment in out of the weather. Last week they poured concrete with the "Three Muskateers" looking on.

Last evening we had in all the children and their families for a pizza supper. This little tiny Tina likes to be held.
