Still Here


I am still here, but have just been too busy having fun to do a decent post.  More important, life is good and we are having fun.

Along with a little wallpapering at my mom's and painting at my daughter's, this is a recap of the last two weeks.

Celebrated a birthday.


Babysat for the pianist.


Entertained this charming houseguest and......


her brother.  Their parents came as well.


Spent time in the sewing studio working on.....
Our blue and yellow swap blocks this month (exchanged with Emily).


Completed block one of the Jelly Roll Quilt Along.


Finished the first two Barn Quilt blocks.


Worked on my Pinwheels for the Pinwheel Quilt Along.


Finished piecing my March Schnibbles.





Completed my Shamrock quilt that I was going to do last year.  I did this in the Carol and Amanda Get it Done Sewing Retreat yesterday.  Now I can use it as a table topper for St. Patrick's Day dinner this week.  This was a pattern that was offered here if anyone is interested in doing this quilt.


And............ 





Made another doll school uniform for the grandchildren's school auction last weekend.  This one brought in $500+.  Each year I am amazed at what these little uniforms will fetch at the auction.



The siggy blocks have also been arriving.  I so enjoy seeing where they are from and reading a little about everyone who is exchanging them with me. 






Sooooo........that has been why I have not posted and visited lately.  I will try to be better.  I hope everyone has a great week ahead.

  1. WOW...what a great time you've been having!!! I love the school uniforms for the dolls...very much like the uniforms at a Catholic school where I once taught. What is the siggy block thing? I've happy to send one to you if I knew the size for the blocks. (I THINK I can see how they are made as long as I know the size of the background blocks and then the size of the blocks...or triangles...that were put on each corner.) Let me know if you want me to do one for you. LOVE all the things you have made and also the adorable kiddies...big and little!
