Process Pledge Post

Here is some left over scraps from a quilt I made a couple of years ago...I decided to throw a botrder on it and I will probably just quilt it into a center piece for a table. Do you think I should put another border on it?

Here is what I did with the tuli block Lisa sent me a year or so ago. I have decided to make it into a table topper that I can use on both my dining room table and my coffee table!

I pinned it and started to wuilt but the walking foot broke, so I am going to have to seam rip (yuck!) and start aghain once I replace my walking foot.

Here are three bookmarks I made! Aren't they great!?! Lisa and I learned how to make these at a local quilt shop anniversary celebration!

Here is the most wonderful fabric in the world!! Do you remember why??????? I won't tell yet, but I will send a quilty surprise to the first person who comments the correct answer. Mom and Lisa....you don't count! SORRY! But I just told both of you today, so I HAVE to be fair ;) (xoxo)

Here are the flannel squares from the ISPY swap! I am sewing them together into a traditional top.

And here are all the ones I have to seam rip b/c my brain associates flannel with rag-top!

Here's some great trims that I picked up on clearance at Joann's to use as bookmarks in the book covers I like to make.

Here are some charm squares made into HST and sewn together...this is the start of another bag!

Here are some misc. blocks that I am unsure what to do with. I',m thinking candle mats...what do you think?

Here is the current Book I am listening to while quilting!!! These colors have SEW inspired me! I've decided that the next project I start will be a quilt with these EXACT colors in it! I LOVE THEM!! And they actually came out almost perfect in the picture.

Are any of you readers Debbie Macomber fans??

Boys will be boys!

Today Ronnie went over to help my Dad for a while and then Dad came over here and helped Ronnie with some things.
Meanwhile Kyle caught 2 fish on a string on a hand line! (That pic is on my FB).

Afterwards we grilled out ....Dad is cracking up and taking a picture of Kyle's hamburger! He accidentally got WAY too much mustard on it! :)  We fixed it for him ;)

and then.................................I caught them all in Kyle's room playing with TOYS!

This is Dad playing the Math game!! LOL! While ROnnie plays with the helicopter thingy.

Then you know Dad couldn't just let Ronnie play with it! It was his turn!!

(that thing in Ronnie's mouth is a whistle...seriously).

Dad landing the helo...he was super excited about this accomplishment!

Then Kyle wanted to show P-Pa his Webkinz...

And then Kyle wanted to show P-pa "just ONE more thing"....like 5 times, lol.

Too funny!

We had a great time hanging out with P-pa! So glad he could come visit!

xoxo!

Church Lock-In!

So Ronnie and I put on a Lock In at church for the kids! We had SOOOOOOOOOO much fun! But are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired. Most of the pics came out blurry :(
But here are a few:

We ended up having 15 kids there! That was SO great! We thought we would only have 8!! What a great night of the kids making friends, having fun, winning prizes and eating junk food!

WARNING: This is a rant post. Do not read it if you don't want to hear me rant & rave

I am normally completely oblivious to the news and I greatly prefer it that way. I don;t watch TV and I NEVER watch the news. I only get the newspaper on Sundays for coupons!....but I did know about the oil spill, just not the full extent of it. Ronnie made me watch videos and view pics and read articles on it tonight and I am FLOORED. I cannot believe it and I feel like there is going to be utter devastation. Only God is big enough to clean this mess up. I pray that He will step in b/c if not....wow...I don't even know. Did you know that the oil spill in Alaska that destroyed their coastline was 11 million gallons? TOTAL. Period, done. This thing is already at 70+ million gallons. See...this is why I avoid the news. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW! Call it ignorant, I'm ok with that...ignorance is bliss. My world is all happy and "warm fuzzy bunnies" ...I like my lil' bubble. But now I am all concerned over this disaster. I get so mad thinking about it. B/c it all boils down to money. The whole thing goes back to a corrupt govt and greedy politicians.URG>>>>I am going to shut up now....but, I must add...props to Obama for saying he wants to know whose a%$ to kick when this things doesn't work! NOW DO SOMETHING PEOPLE!!! Whoever the "people" are that know how/can do something! (END RANT)

Calling all quilters!! Or anyone inclined to creativity!

My bestie is needing some feedback on which border she should use.
This is VERY important b/c it is the center block for an International Round Robin we are doing.
Please hop over to her blog and let her know what you think.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a child's apron:

Here is another one that I haven't finished yet:

And here is what I am thinking for the tie, although I may not have enough of this fabric to do just this:

Here is a table runner top that I completed. I still have to baste and quilt it:

And here is a candle mat. I did this one envelope style, so you can see the area that I still have to stitch closed. I also need to quilt it:
