A DAY LATE!

Here is a Quilt I did for my 3rd son right before he went to Iraq.

Here is a quilt my mother machine pieced and hand quilted for my 2nd son...now this would not be accepted in the QOV challenge because of the pink but I love it and I think (not sure) but for each grandson in the military she made a red white and blue theme for them. I tried to copy the quilt she made for son #3 but I could not get it to work???

My mother has over 20 grandchildren (my brain doesn't want to do the math) but she has machined pieced and hand quilted each of her grandchildren a quilt....she has three left. She hand pieced and hand quilted each of her five children a quilt.

She just finished the quilt for my nephew and if you would like to see it you can go here

My apologies, I said I would announce the winner of the QOV blog hop on Wednesday and now it is Thrusday.

Well....Michelle from Michelle's Quilts and stuff is the winner.

I truly enjoyed all of your comments.

My husband got up Tuesday and decided he didn't want to go to work. I had plans for a few friends to come over and learn freezer paper applique. So I called and canceled for the following day.

My husband got up Wednesday and decided he didn't want to go to work. I decided to go ahead and do my little class but only one person came. So...........we shanghighed my husband in to taking us to JoAnn's....whohoooo. What is even better, the one friend was my one sewing buddy that went away for a few months. So it was a glorious day. My husband egged me on to buy more fabric (don't you just love a man like that?) and I egged my friend on.

Tomorrow is the last day of the QOV Blog Hop, the challenge will go on until May 31st. Marjorie will be giving patterns, blocks, and star designs on her blog.

She was also featured in the Accuquilt Go news letter here

Marilyn was today, I hope you went by.

Tomorrow is Marjorie again here

I AM ALL READY TO GO......

I have my fabric cut out.... I am ready are you?





Machines start your engines!!!

Oh...I know you have no earthly idea of what I am talking about?

Well.....if you go to my sidebar and click on QOV Challenge and Blog Hop, you will know what I am getting ready for. Or just click on the highlighted areas....you will be transported to a wealth of information and Marjorie's blog.

I will be the first Machine out of the gate on April 2nd...so please join me and see what these cut outs will look like when sewn back together. There will be Gene, Marjorie, Marylin following with some wonderful ideas and tips as well. Hope to see you then!!!

Truly this is a fun challenge and a way to give back. Each of my sons and one adopted son (a friend of the family) got a QOV before even entering the war zone. So grateful these young men came back to us.
