Here is the table runner front and back that I started last Sunday. I just got it pinned basted today while Frank got the fireplace going and meatball simmered on the stove. I can't wait to stipple it this week.

This is what I am working on tonight instead of homework. It's going to be a table runner. I hope it turns out ok. eek if it doesn't!

Frank and I stood in line for two hours outside in December with screaming, crying children to ride this pink pig. It's an Atlanta tradition. You know, when in Rome. Anyways, the smiles are because we finally got on the train. I can now say I have ridden the pink pig.

This man was driving around Marietta Square. He had on gold glasses and a blue leisure suit. It was hilarious. Thankfully he had a red light so I had time to take a photo.

These are spiced pecans I made for Mrs. Koues as a hostess gift on Thanksgiving. I hope she approves.

Barn Raising

This quilt started as a way to bust scraps and share scraps with the Strip Teasers in Michigan. Each of us sent in 6 inch squares divided into lights and darks. I put the top together this spring. Last weekend I finished the quilting and attached the binding. It's warm and toasty now that fall is here.

I'm so excited! This quilt arrived yesterday. I had sent it home to Michigan more than a year ago to be quilted. My mother forgot to take it to the quilter. After it was quilted it took awhile for it to get sent back to Georgia. Anyways, it showed up yesterday at school. The secretary called me to say that I had a big package from home.

The blocks took me over a year to make. I would do a few and then take a break. The backing was originally purchased for another project but I think it goes perfectly with this one. The binding will be added this weekend but I had to get the photo done for the blogger's quilt festival!!

Becky Odell did a wonderful job once again with the quilting. Thank goodness for UPS shipping so quickly.

Up Early Saturyday

Benny still does not understand that we sleep in on Saturdays. So, while he was out playing in the dark I made this block. It's called card trick I think. Now it's time to get dressed and go do some fall clothes shopping.

Sampler on Acid

Here is the sashing and four blocks put together.

Valentines

Here it is! All finished. Well, except for the quilting and binding, but those aren't as fun. It's now hanging in the closet with all the other quilts waiting to be quilted.

So, since it is almost October that must mean it is time to start my Valentine's Day quilt. Here is the first block of my Pink Taffy quilt.

This summer

These are the quilts I made for Meghan and Molly's birthdays. Mom and I finished the binding while camping. The girls took them back to college for the fall.

Catching Up

For awhile I'll just be posting old projects and compiling information. This quilt was made in early September late August. I used an old wool bat of Mary Elliot's. I'm always trying to use up her old stuff. This quilt is a perfect throw size and it's nice and warm. I didn't have to buy a single thing to make this quilt. I quilted it on the diagonal about an inch and a half apart.

No more wisdom teeth

Had my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday. Thought I would be better by Thursday but I was wrong. Now I have time to make this quilt blog. Hope everything goes well.

This quilt was made the weekend before school started. I was avoiding thinking about my 6th year of teaching. Right now it is on the machine being quilted.

Teresa, how do I rotate and crop this thing?
