Snowmans...

I finished it....

I just need the backing now. I think I'm going to send this one out to be quilted. I found someone on Instagram that has quilted a few of these quilts and does an amazing job on them. Can't wait... Hopefully it will be done before Christmas... Not sure what her waiting list is like.

New tool...

Ordered this little stiletto from Lynnette Anderson designs...
She designed and made them herself. It's about 5" long and the perfect fit for your hand when sewing with the machine.
I love it!

Buttermilk Basin #2...

The 2nd block of "let it snow" is done...
I haven't put the buttons on yet because I want all 12 buttons to match so that means I have to go shopping... Darn...
I just noticed they look more black than maroon. I will have to take a picture outside tomorrow.

Half way done...

Center is done...
The center square wasn't quite long enough and I had to add like 3/4" to the top. Once it's all quilted, I don't even think you'll notice it.
I just have to make the 24 some odd squares all around it now.

Block #9....

I think this is the last block. I'm stitching up the label while I have everything out and am in the mood.
After I finish the label, I'll get the directions out and figure out how to assemble them all.

Sunday rain...

A break in Sunday's downpour... I ran out to take this picture.
As you can see, the chairs and umbrella were blown over... The wind was crazy last night. Sheesh...It started pouring again like 5 mins after I snapped the photo. Wish it would have lasted a little longer than 1 day though. 

Vintage Tree Farm....

It's done...
Isn't it funny.. No matter how many times you look at things...or even stare...you don't see things that are right there in front of you. There is a line missing on bottom right, going over the 1st tree. I looked, and looked and looked... And didn't notice it was missing until I took this picture and there it was! 
So back to the machine it went....
Almost dark now, but it's fixed! The outside light is still better than the inside. There... I think I got them all now! If you see another, let me know! Hahaha..
