Christmas in July


My day, my day...thrilled to death to be here again, with all of these fantastic fellow bloggers.  Carol has been out doing herself organizing these hops for all of us.  Let's give a big thank you, Carol!!
I have a couple of pieces to show you this time around...yes, getting carried away with it..lol.

First up, is this wall hanging...you may have seen it at this stage a few months back. 
Three paper pieced trees from Tall Tree Trim...now what do I do with these?  Well, this it what I decided on...a wall hanging.
I pieced it together with narrow, 1-2" white background strips, added borders, and machine quilted with wavy, snow mound type lines. And I liked it after all that...lol.
Another view of it...
This shows the different whites in the background. Some are plain whites, and some are tone on tone.
So, that's the first one...now on to the others.
This is the Woodland Forest tree skirt by Karen Neary from Sew Karen-ly Created...
It is so much fun to make, too...I even made a second!
Another view...
Now...my explanation for two skirts is, print your templates from an iPad...get the smaller one.  Print templates from a laptop and get the larger tree skirt. You have a large tree...you have a smaller tree...not a problem!!!  

Well, I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this blog hop, and will be in the next one also.  Please take the time to visit everyone else on the list below and leave a wonderful comment.
Thank you for being here for us.

My WIPs

Hello everyone...been awhile since posting last, summer chores are ruling my life...lol. I'm just glad it finally got here!  I am still quilting though, just not constantly like normal.
Here is a throw I just finished quilting on Lily, my Coronet. I did ruler work on this one.
And ...
Again, closer...
Besides this one, I have a friends quilt that I am hand quilting on.  I can't show anymore than a peek until she sees it...sorry.
Not much to look at, I'm afraid...but the rest is embroidered blocks.  To follow...
Besides this, I am weeding flower gardens, planted a large veggie garden and mowing lawns...painted back steps this morning. I am staying very busy!!!!   Lol


And...
Well...next time folks, have a great week.

Wish Upon a Star

L
Today is my day, with friends, to show what I made for this blog hop.  Now, you might, at first glance, think I have the wrong hop...but, no.  Lol, I put together a tree skirt,  but it is a star.
I enjoy making this tree skirt, as the pieces are large, and it works up quickly.

WIPs

Hello everyone ...been a month since I showed anything here.  I am always quilting, but sometimes neglect to post..sorry.

I think the last time you saw this one, it was being hand quilted. Well, it is finished and been picked up.
This gorgeous quilt belongs to Marla, from Marla's Crafts. I have been doing her hand quilting for some time now. I really like the freshness of blue and white...
I have been busy working on projects for two blog hops coming up the end of May and in July, but can't show those til then.
This is what I am hand quilting now...and I have a twin size quilt pin basted and ready for Lily.  Most likely, after the weekend...I think I need to mow grass! 
Last weekend, we did an early Mothers Day thingy with our oldest son and his family.  We hiked up Shepody Mt., which I haven't done in 10 years!  We had a great afternoon..31/2 hours of hiking, came home to a lovely supper made by our daughter in law, who hiked with us, too.  She had made lasogna, garlic bread, and had a tuxedo cake for dessert...our son did the dishes!  A fun day had by all...

Have a fantastic weekend folks...see you soon.
