2 Block of the Months from 2 different shops


Cast of Stars from Quilters market here we have Kathryn Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart, I really like how the Kathryn Hepburn turned out! he Jimmy Stewart I like but I think might do it a bit different on the "real one".


This one is Cary Grant the one on the right is the first one I did then while looking at it I thought I would change the center block to the one on the left,I like the look of it, but would like to know what you think !
in this block of the month we are giving 2 fabrics that we have o use! so thought I would make one out of scrap fabric first before I cut into the real one!





And last of all this is the block of the month from Bells Quilts this one is Double Dutch.

Air Show 2010



We went to the Air Show today! we had a good time.
this week end I am watching some friends kids while they are working the Air Show, today I only had 1 extra little one with me so today was the day for the show. 3 kids to watch is better the the 6 I will have tomorrow!
Emily really wanted to go up in the helicopter! I would have liked to spend more time there today! but the two little ones were ready to get home, so home we went. watched 2 movies The Princess and the Frog, Emily and I both fell asleep watching that one. and then Planet 51 that was a cute movie, and sometime in that movie the other little one went to sleep!
its about 7pm and waiting for Brad and our friend to make it home! they should be here in about 45 mins. then up at 430 to get the extra kids, I am so tired, the back of my legs are sunburned ! I got the girls well Emily has a spot on her back by her neck that's a little pink. but she will TAN !!! unlike her mom.
now what to do tomorrow with the kids thinking about making rice krispy treats!







Not sure what is wrong with the camera, but at least I was able to get a few pics of the girls!
as you can see that Leslie and Emily are in the same set, and one turned out so different then the other! I like them both so that is a good thing.

Quilt Top's 2

The green Quilt is the one I got for my Birthday in 2009. it will have a lime green binding, need to go back to the quilt shop and get a backing!












This is this year's block of the month, so far there are 4 months down, will pick up month 5 next week! this years was a bit different we could ether do 1 block or do a row of 6 to make a Queen size quilt. I am doing the rows so there will be more to come on this quilt.



have another quilt that needs to be put together all the parts are done, well the hand applique still needs to be done! maybe I will have it done by the end of this year!

Quilt Top's




this is a Block of the month that one of my friends did and I loved it, so I went to the quilt shop where she got it at and they had all the blocks on sale! so I got them! need to decide what type of fabric I would like for the backing and I am thinking of getting the black batting for it also.








this one I got the pattern form a Fons and Porter magazine, its been sitting in a basket for about a year and a half well maybe two years! the cowboy fabric is some left over from the Quilt I made for Andrew when he was born, the backing is going to be some cowboy flannel that I had.
