Whenever I like something it is always my birthday.
And I like a lot. My friends know this and let me be. Great friends.

New chairs

These are the chairs that I have had now for 10 years.  The fabric was so so, and it was stained,  but I like the fit of the chairs. 

My wonderful husband went to JoAnne's with me to pick out this fabric, bought it (it was on sale )  and than he did all the work. I love the new covers, they look so different.

Looks like I have a whole new dining room . I may need new table cloths ,  but what do you think? And thanks honey, you are the greatest!

My friend's Grangmothers Flower garden quilt

This Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt is sewn by machine. My friend Alma's Mom made this long ago form her clothing and Alma's clothes.
Now I get to quilt it as my first business quilt, and I am sweating bullets. 

I am quilting 70's flower power flowers on it , and a  meander with leaves and some roses. 
So far I like it a lot, I hope Alma does to.

Charity quilt completed

This is the finished quilt, red -white and blue.

I did  loops and stars in the border.
 The background ia the same blue, but I went ahead and did red-polka dots in the binding.

Six month into the BOM from the local quilt shop

I can't believe we are halfway through the year for the BOM. 
I like making the blocks and taking my time to enjoy the journey.
Some times it is good not to be in a rush to get something done. 
This is April's block.

And May's.

Month of June.

Last month I received the lovely setting block fabrics.

This is the setting block, and ARGH! I have to make 20 of them. 

This is the quilt lay out. I do like it and can't wait to get my border fabric. They are wonderful. 

Who can't resist making minis out of the left overs. 
They are to cute!
