Great Grandmother Block Update

I didn't find anything all that exciting at the flea market yesterday. All I bought was a few vintage rhinestone pins. It's ok though. The fun for me is walking around and looking at all that great junk! You honestly never know what you'll see at a flea market!

I did a lot of stitching over the weekend. I wanted to do some more things outside but the mosquito's here are terrible. I basically filled all the bird feeders and washed & refilled the hummingbird feeders and that was it.

So here's where I'm at on my mom's Christmas gift:



I expect to have loads of time later to work on this. My chores are done for the day and my laundry is all caught up so stop by tomorrow for another update.

And More Crazy Quilting.....

I finished up the Lady With Roses quilt yesterday:



I honestly don't know why my stuff never looks straight in my photos. It is a perfect rectangle! It just doesn't look that way.

When I finished that, I completed the stitching on the green comfort cat:



If I can get in a sewing day this week, I'll sew this up with the redwork comfort cat and get these off to Pat next weekend.

I also started the stitching on my mom's Christmas gift:



I might move that applique over a little bit. It's only pinned on at the moment. I'll get the seams covered first before I sew it down.

We're going to a flea market in the morning so you may not hear from me again until Monday. Hopefully, I'll have some cool stuff to share with you then!

Have a great weekend everyone!

More Crazy Quilting

I added my little cat to the Lady With Roses Quilt:



I also added a few gold star sequins around the little angel button. It looked a little plain to me. You know I like my glitter! Anyway, I'm going to do the finishing on this today so I can get it ready for shipping.

I also started stitching on little green comfort kitty doll:



I'm sure I'll complete this later today. Don't you just love that lime green glitter fabric at the top?!

I was thinking about what to stitch on when I finish up the cat doll and I realized that it's September! Yikes! I'd better start doing a few Christmas gifts! I pulled this piece which I sewed up back in July:



The girl in the photo is my great-grandmother. I think she was about 12 years old in this beautiful photograph! This of course, will be a gift for my mom. I gave the photo a bit of a plum tint in my graphic software before I printed it. I want this to have a very Victorian feel to it. Many of my CQ pieces are bright and colorful so it will be fun to do something again with a very antique look.

Lady With Roses Almost Done

Another quick post for today as I have a design project I'm trying to finish up. The Lady With Roses quilt is almost done:



I just have to add my little cat up at the top which I'll do later today. I'd like to do the finishing on this tomorrow so I can ship it over the weekend or the first part of next week. I'll post another picture when it's totally complete.

My next little project will be this little comfort cat doll:



I'd like to start on this today but I also bought a new book that I'd like to start reading so stop by tomorrow to see how things go!

More Photos

I'll start today with a photo of my finished Silhouette Lady Purse:



Isn't this fun?!! Like I said when I was stitching on it, I'm not a "red person" but I really love this bag. This one is mine.

I stitched a bit yesterday on the Lady With Roses quilt:



I'd like to complete this today. Not sure if it'll happen or not. I would like to sew it up over the weekend and get it ready for shipping. And I'm eager to stitch up another comfort kitty to send to Pat.

I'll keep today's post short but will leave you with a few more photos from beautiful Milwaukee Zoo:
