I'm no PW in the kitchen...

but I can make some really good homemade rolls. And they're pretty lowfat too!

 

I also made a NI block today to keep up with the online bow.

 

It looks washed out in the picture but it's very vibrant in person.
And I've made several messes around here trying to organize my stuff! Think I'll go settle in for the evening with some pie and some applique.

Here's my Funny Bunny!

 

Kellie over at Don't look now! posted a free pattern for her Honey Bunny last week, so Kara and I decided we would make bunnies on Friday. Fun little project and didn't take very long, unless you count the stitching. Whew...that part was a little difficult for me and it doesn't look all that great, so don't look too close...lol

I hope everyone has a wonderful and Blessed Easter. Remember He Is Risen and if you have a chance please visit Carrie.

Yours in Christ,

What in the world???

I'm busy today with several different projects, Mom's quilt, pro bono quilt, Easter Bunny wall-hanging, cooking, cleaning and cheering on my hubby while he works in the yard. Oh and bringing him ice water...It is a beautiful Spring day, sure wish we had more like this one. I hear that tomorrow is going to be stormy. I feel so bad for the people in Arkansas and Tennessee (tornadoes) and for that matter, Midwest City and Choctaw (fires). I don't think the fires here in Stillwater damaged any homes but they did burn many acres of land and lots of hay.

Here is a small quilt that I made for my brother and his wife several years ago, like 15 I think, in honor of their living on the other side of the world. Look at that curved piecing, didn't even know I could do that...lol and the thing that shocked me when I looked at this again after all this time, I hand quilted it!!! I thought I'd only hand quilted my youngest daughter's baby quilt (took me 15 years), but no I guess I've done more handquilting that I thought. It doesn't even look half bad. :o)

 

Well back to the grind. Hopefully I'll have some finishes to put on here very soon. I'm trying!!!

It's a start...

I think I have too much fabric. Oh don't think that this is all of it, nope, this is a little bitty bit of it. I've got fabric from France (third shelf down on the left) that my hubby brought back for me. I don't even have my Japanese fabrics out of the box yet. I've got reproductions (on the right in photo) and more repros that fill up at least 6 boxes. See the red & white? I've got way, way more r&w because that's my favorite color combo. Batiks? I've got tons of them too!

Do I sound overwhelmed??? I am! I have decided NOT to buy anymore fatquarters, ever. Now if I can hold to that promise to myself. If I love a fabric enough to buy it from now on I will purchase at least 1/2 yard. But I'm going to try to sew up what I have. I could sew full time from now until this time next year and still have plenty to do....really!

 

And books??? Don't even get me started on books. I bought 2 new ones this week that I'll show later. I'm trying to get them on the bookshelf and in some sort of order so at least I'll know what I've got. Thread is also another issue with me...I love it. :o)

At least my upstairs sewing room is painted and I'll get there with organizing everything. The problem is that I'd rather be sewing!!! The only thing I've done this week is work on my "pies and tarts". I did receive all of the border fabric for the flower basket quilt so I'll get that prepped for stitching this weekend, hopefully.

Sorry to sound a little down...I think I'm just tired and not getting in enough sewing.

Time flies when you're raising Kara!

Nineteen years ago today I gave birth to this beauty!

 

What a blessing Kara is to me and our family. She's loving, fun, witty and energetic and you always know exactly where you stand with Kara because she tells you...lol!!!

Happy Birthday Kara....I love you....
Mama

Delicious quilting inspiration....

I've been adding to my quilt book library lately. Even if I never make anything in any of these books (I probably will though) they do provide much inspiration to me. I used to be an avid fiction reader...all of the new titles were in my bookshelves. Now the shelves are filling up with quilt books and I never read fiction anymore...does that mean there's something wrong with me?

 

Have a beautiful day!
