On todays agenda

I was going through my photos and wrote a post up about Wally learning how to sew on my Wilson Rotary. Here is the outcome of it.

A perfect 4 patch out of jean material. I made up some more of those 4 patches, I think they will all go into a lap quilt.






As for me I worked on "Easy Street" a mystery Quilt put on by Bonnie Hunter over at Quiltville.
you can still see how everyone did by heading on over there. The final Link up for Easy Street.

What I got done yesterday and today.

 Setting Triangles I got 6 of them done, 6 more to do.

Now what do you do with these? Bonus triangles from doing the snowball house type block.. Most folks would probably just throw them away or put them into a crumbs bin.







Well I put them together since they they are already actually matched up.

They came out to just about 1.5 inches.. they are cute.. Will sew those together and put them in another quilt. If I put 2 of these together right, I get a flying geese..






What did you'all get done today?
Happy sewing and quilting.

sooooo many things to do, so little time..

So I told my b/f that I needed to get week 3 and week 4 done for the mystery quilt. He said " Don't you think you need to finish up some of these other projects?"

lol uhhh yea but I'm working on a mystery quilt also.. Needs to get done..

sooooo many things to do, so little time..

Easy Street clue 4

Is up.. oh boy, I need to get busy.
64 more flying geese, using my reds and blues, and then attach them to 64 of part 2 of Easy Street.

 So I suppose I should get to working on these also, I need to make another 44 to be finished with part 2.









She also said we could, as if that wasn't enough, cut out 145 - 3.5" squares out of all of our greens.. Looks to be a busy weekend and week for me.

Still need to finish sewing down the binding on b/f quilt, just have another hr or two left on it. I work on it when I watch new releases of my crime drama shows, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. Hawaii Five-O, NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, Criminal Minds, and CSI Las Vegas.
And I am also still working on quilting the borders of my sisters quilt.

All Roads Lead to Home

This lap quilt will be going to my Cousin Charley. He is a truck driver, and he was diagnose with cancer this year. He has completed all his chemo and radiation treatments and we shall find out next month if he is in remission or not.


I had to revamp how I wanted to do this but I think he will love it anyways. I will be putting on the house block "Home Sweet Home".
This is being made out of Batiks in the D9P or disappearing 9 patch blocks. With roadways going all around it.

Thanks for looking and happy sewing.. Anticipation for Friday's clues is mounting.. :D

Oct. 5, 2012

 So last night I posted on my Damsels Creations FB page, " I am really bummed out right now and have been for a long while. Something I wanted to do really badly for my cousin. And I'm unable to do so. So that is why I have not been posting anything. sorry for the let downs.. sighs.. Hugs, loves, and many blessings to all my fans.. Hope fully soon I will be back at it again." 
And its true, my cousin's kids were suppose to send me some signature blocks, so that I could make him a lap quilt called "All Roads Lead to Home". I left the blocks with the girls on July 4th, 2012, and here it is Oct. 5th, 2012, and I still do not have the blocks. I'm disappointed in the fact that they have not sent them to me, although they said they were going to. Its had me pretty bummed out for a few weeks. I really wanted to get it done in time for Christmas this year. Now I don't think I can do it. Not without hurting myself in doing so.

But today is a new day, and here is how I am going to start my day, first up breakfast. 

 I like my toast lightly toasted and my eggs over easy, with a little bit of pepper. Once they are cooked and onto a plate. I had a small pinch of grated cheese. YUMMMY. Along with my favorite beverage.

Then we take stock of what needs to get done Whether it is cleaning house ( which is always the case) sewing related items, crocheting related items, lets see how much I can get done today. 

 My sisters table/dresser runner that needs to be finished ,that goes to her bedroom set, the top is done for her quilt, just need to sandwich and quilt it.

 The b/f Queen size Jelly Roll quilt, that needs to be hand quilted. Gonna quilt it in Baptist Fans. Cross fingers.

 My neighbor wants a receiving type blanket crochet for her great grand daughter. It should have been done back in June. Been to hot to crochet. So we have 27 rows done in double crochet. and have about 28 more rows to do.

 My former sis n law loves pink, and she happens to love the pinwheels that were done a month or two ago. So lets combine them together and see what we can do. I know I need 120+ pinwheels for her Queen sized quilt, This piece is her Dresser runner, I need to figure out pillow shams also.

 and I need to clean up around my sewing machine, it is a MESS..

I will report back this evening or in the morning with my progress, lets see how much I can get done today. :D
