ugghhh...

I had to go back to work this past week... Oh boy, was it a lonngg one!  Finished the binding on this quilt, have a couple more to do. Also, I have a couple of friends quilts upstairs to sew also. But it's a cold and icky day outside and I don't want to do much of anything.

va---roomba....

Anyone have one of these?? Just curious if you do... how do you like it? I have heard good things and not so good things on the irobots. I have all tile with just a small part of carpet and 2 grand dogs..I think it will work for me, but I would love any comments anyone has.

UPDATE.... I bought the last one at Costco...... and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

wool questions...

 This is my first time at ever trying a wool project. I bought this little table topper kit at Road to California with no threads..Stupid me! So, I went down to Temecula yesterday and talked wit the the wool lady and got all my threads to work on it. I still have questions..like..on the trees the trunk... do I stitch ALL the way around, even at the very top? Or do I just do the outside part and stop when I get to the branches. How about Santas sack? Do I go ALL the way around on top of like his hat and suit, or do I stop when the outside edge ends? Am I even asking the right way on what I even mean?  Stupid, I know.. but when you have never done it before and there is no one to ask... it goes on my blog!

curtain...

Added a little curtain to the master bath to soften it up a little.. It still has to be hung up correctly by Mr. Mark... it's just sitting on the bottom of the box.

3 more done....

 The pumpkin one I still have to distress with the coffee/tea stain.

 "Delectable Cakes" is almost the same pattern as "Delectable Mountain" I think.. depending on which pattern you look at. More binding... oh geesh... my poor fingers...

 This one is a table topper too...cost me a whole $1.87 on sale after Christmas, picked it up on my last trip to San Diego with the girls.

flowers...

 Here's my flowers I got yesterday for Valentine's Day.......

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone out there!

pot holder..

I bet my pot holder is cuter than yours!

busy bee...

 I have been quite the busy bee lately... The Christmas one, I quilted on the Bernina...

 "Charmed Star".. did on the big one... This is for one of the teachers that is retiring in June...

 "Garden party".. on the big machine.. I took all my 'flower material' I used in 2010 and made a little sampler quilt from them.

 The sampler I did on the big machine too, this was from a blog, I think it was www.psiquilt.blogspot.com . She had a mystery block of the month. I used Moda's Garden Party and it turned out really cute! Just look at the back... I love the polka dots too!

So now... I have 4 quilts to bind, I have sewed the binding on all of them, now it's time for the killer part.. My fingers are gonna hate me!!

Happy Day..

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Steven and Ronna!  Hard to believe that my youngest, Steven, got married 2 years ago!! Time flies... Love you guys!
