Another Top almost finished

Well if you read the last post you know that I was working with a jelly roll... I went down to Seward to sew with my friends again this weekend and here is what I got done.. Just needs the last pieced border and it will be finished.

After I get the border done on this one I am going to be starting the Wild Thing pattern. More to come later.. Off to the dentist!

Design Wall Monday

On my design wall today is a new quilt... I am cutting the fabric from 2 jelly rolls at work today. Then when I get home I will start sewing This together. I have been wanting to make this one since it came out. Just havent had a chance too. I found my jelly roll for it and I cant wait to get it started today.

this is Spring Magic by Moda and I think it will make for a really cheery spring quilt

Sunday Stash Report

Here is my stash report. I had to go buy a Jelly roll to finish this quilt and when I saw the other jelly roll I just had to have it.... But I did use the one jelly roll and I am planning on using the other one this week. I finished Ryan's Quilt this week and I made the "I'm Blushing" quilt off the Moda Bake shop Website. Love it.. I started it Saturday around 4 and finished it last night around 8pm... It went together really easy.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Ok I am slowly working on getting into the christmas spirit. I accomplished half my goals for yesterday. I did get T's other snowman quilt done. and I finished my monthly mini quilt for my office.

I have plenty left to do. I loaded the neighbors quilt on the table last night and will get it quilted tonight. I am going to finish my table runner for my Sew Happy and the Strippers Table runner swap. I am sure it is going to be beautiful... So far its turning out pretty nice. I will post a pic once its finished.
Hunny and little man are down at the mining claim. They are talking about hoping on a friends boat and going hunting on Tuesday. would be nice to have some wild game in the freezer!
I have a couple more things to get done for my Secret Elf Swap and will get that out in the mail on the 10th... Wohoo!!!
I have my todo list and am hoping to get alot of that finished this week too. Big Boy called from Beluga last night and asked if I would make him a quilt for his bed out at the lodge so I am hoping to get something boyish wildernessy done for him for christmas too, any good ideas... I have a couple jelly rolls that I would like to use for it... Or mabey some flannel.
Post me some links of some ideas for a nice easy jelly roll quilt for my son and I am thinking I might turn this into a giveaway! I guess I will have to find something to give away first.. mabey a jelly roll or a honey bun!!!
I will draw a winner on Friday. you need to post to this post till friday to be entered.
Post me a link of a great idea for a jelly roll quilt for my son!

What's going on

Sorry for being out of the loop for a bit... I have been sewing alot and getting my quilting table back up and running.

After a month of sending things back and forth to PCQ and 2 new motherboards later my quilting table is finally back up and running... I am pretty excited, I got 2 quilts done this weekend, I will post pics of them tomorrow.

So what have I been up to while the table was down?
Well I got alot of quilt tops done, went on a couple retreats and hung out with my family and relaxed!
here are some pics.
This is a picture of the Trumpeter Swans outside our front room window where we stayed for our retreat in Cooper Landing,

This is the view from the front room window at the cabin in Cooper Landing.

Here is a small picture of the Figgy Pudding Quilt I got finished when I was down at the Saltwater Lodge in Seward

On my way home from the lodge I stopped at the Quilt shop in Cooper Landing and picked up this kit and got it finished. I love the colors, It turned out great!

And I finished all the hand applique on the Blooms for Annebelle Quilt

While down at the Saltwater Lodge our sewing group "The Strippers" got this kit from the "Sew Happy's" group. I love it so much and I got it all put together in a matter of hours... very easy and very nice, it will go perfect in my house.

So as I was saying above a group of us stayed in a cabin in Cooper Landing and went to a Mystery Class put on by Bearly Threaded Quilt shop This is the quilt I finished that weekend. It was easy nice and alot of great food. We sewed at the local school in their big gym. will post more pics of this excursion soon. We are planning on going back down there in December for a UFO Weekend.


I am working on getting into the christmas spirit, I made a tree skirt at a class down in seward. I just need to quilt it so it can go under the tree, I will try to post pics of that tomorrow too.
Happy Sewing All!!!

I have been out there since Friday night I had to come back Monday night so I could do Payroll at work then Its back on the road to go back down to the cottage... It has been beautiful, We have had a baby Stellar Jay visit us
