Tops For The Girls and Baby are Done! yahooo

I finally got the quilt tops done for my dear friends son's girlfriends two daughters. lol  I also got the two done for my daughters fiance's two daughters.  Two are for Easter gifts and the other two will be given to them at a baby shower to be held at the end of next month.  There are two of the top one, that's the top and the fabrics in the top.  There are also two of the second one and that's the top and the fabric's in the top.  The bottom one is a wonky one for the young girl who is 12.  I don't think she would have appreciated the kiddy fabric.   I've also got two more going that are large baby quilts.  These were quick one's to do because I don't have a lot of time to get them done in.  I hope to start quilting them tomorrow or by the week end at the latest.

UFO Group

I belong to a UFO group and once a month we take one full day to sew.  It's a Friday one month and Saturday the next.  We start sewing at 9 (or is it 10) in the morning and sew till 6pm.  We take a picture of what we're working on and post it.  We check in periodically ro show where we are at.  Friday I worked on a fall quilt attempting to get all the blocks done.  I got them 2/3's of the way done so will try to work on them a little more today. 

This is one of the blocks of the quilt I'm working on.  It's not flowers in there, it's actually turkey's:) lol  The colors were so perfect for what I wanted that's what I went with.   Hope to get some more done on it today.  I seem to get distracted very easily these days.  Have a great day!

New York

Well, we went to New York the 14th through the 21st of Dec. and what an incredible trip it was.  My brother Frank, my sister Loretta, my daughter Jo and a dear friend of ours Dianna all went.  We stayed in an apartment in Manhattan which was really nice because it gave us so much more freedom.  We all took different pictures of the various places we went so I have some and the others have the rest.  Soon we'll be able to get them all together.  We saw the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, went to see In The Heights at the Richard Rogers Theater, went to the Empire State Bldg, Central Park, Times Square and on and on and on.  We even got caught in a blizzard.  When we went to the theater it was snowing, but when we came out it was a blizzard! lol  We had a ball.  We hiked to a restaurant and had a late dinner, then hiked down to the subway and took it to within two blocks of where we were staying.   The snow was absolutely gorgeous, a dream come true when you're in NY this time of year.  Here are a couple of pic's one from the Empire State Bldg. (it was foggy so visibility was low) and the other of the Plaza Hotel.  The first one is Times Square, which is always packed with people!!

We Got Snow!!

Whoo hoo we got snow last night! There was a lot more about an hour or two ago, but it was too dark and too cold to go out and take pic's. lol So this is what's left. We get snow in our area about every twenty years so this is a real treat. Sure makes me miss living in the Foothills:)

Christmas is Coming FAST!

Wow, Christmas is less than a month away and I am trying to figure out where the time has gone! In a little over two weeks, my brother Frank, sister Loretta, daughtere Jo and friend Dianna are leaving for New York for a week. (We leave the 14th and return on the 21st!) That means I have to be sure everything is ready for Christmas before we leave. I have baking to do and freeze, quilts to quilt and a couple of gifts to buy yet. Then I'll be done. I can shop for groceries when I get back, there will plenty of time for that. Anyway, I'll try and stay on top of this a little better. I've had some kind of bug for almost four weeks now and it's just knocked me for a loop, so I'm way behind in what I wanted to have accomplished before we leave. Oh well, I guess if it gets done it does, if not it won't. lol Have a wonderful week.

My granddaughter Samantha started a sewing class in high school a couple of weeks ago and this is her frist finished project. A pillowcase. She did a great job on, the hem and everything are near perfect. Yaaaaay! Maybe a quilter in the future:)
