She is running on Facebook. First clue is finished. I think if I can keep up this will be good therapy for me while Wayne goes thru his cancer treatments. This is the center and is 17 1/2 by 17 1/2 inches square. Now I have to wait for the next clue. All of these came from my scrap bin. That is part of the challenge, use your scraps.</span><br />

Wayne is feeling a little better. Chemo gets easier each time. All children were home or came by. We went to his brothers for lunch. It is a cover dish thing and a small group. We enjoyed the time together.</span><br />

Life has gotten in the way of quilting. DH has been sick. It took about 7 weeks to find out what was wrong. He has stomach cancer, that is stage 4, and terminal. This is rare in the US. After a colonoscopy was ok, we went back to that GI with pain in the abdomen and swelling. That dr told him to lose weight, walk 5 miles a day and see a heart Dr. A week later I had DH in the emergency room in the city near by. They referred us to a GI Dr there. After 3 visits to the ER and fluid drawn off his belly, they found tumor cells. Five days in the hospital, they found the tumor in his stomach. They also found blood clots in his lung. They drew off a total of 7 1/2 liters of fluids from his abdomen. He now has a catheter in his belly where I draw the fluids off at home.. This has reduced the pain a great deal. As of today he has had 3 rounds of chemo. After the next round the Dr will have another upper GI done to see if the chemo is working. It has reduced the fluid in his belly, but he can't eat anything. He has lost over 50 lbs. Please keep us in your prayers.

<span style="color: blue;">I knocked over some cones of longarm thread the other day. Thought I got them all up. Guess I didnt. Cotton, 1 yr old Mini Scnhauzer, found one. She brought it to me like this, yesterday. Looks like Cousin It from The Adams Family, with a punk dye job. lol </span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">As you ca see, I am still working on my Celtic Solstice quilt. On the design wall is 1/4 of the quilt top, without borders. Decided it was easier to put together in smaller pieces instead of 1 big piece. As I am making the KING size. Now I remember why I havent made a king in awhile!! I am really father along, I have 3 sections made, 2 sewn together and the last in rows. So, off to sew while the football game it on. DH is happy, football and hunting are back!!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">I have been lazy about posting lately. I havent had many quilts to post about. Finished this t-shirt quilt for a customer 2 weeks ago. Yep, lazy. I just let a customer quilt leave the house 10 minutes ago without taking a picture. No worry, I will see it again soon and get some pictures. It is custom quilted, I dont do a lot of custom, so I need the pics. </span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><b>Gyleen Mystery</b></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">Gyleen Fitzgerald hosted a mystery quilt starting first of June. Yea, I am finished (with the top) before the end of June. Which was the goal. Supposed to make a pieced backing by her method. So, that will come together in a few days. Maybe!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">The wind kicked it up just a little, dont you love Wayne's feet. LOL I took another picture, but the color was faded looking. The sun is just a little too bright to get a great pic. Hope you like it, was fun to make.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>BABY QUILT</b></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Baby Quilt for our sons friend. Arron and his wife had a little boy in May. He was due in June, so I was running a little late on this one. William came home for fathers day on Friday. He only had 24 hours off work. I only had half the binding sewn. So, like a good mom, after supper I sat down to finish with the TV on and a movie. What should happen next. Thunderstorm, very close. I almost jumped out of the chair. Power went off, and here I had this quilt to finish. We are at the end of the power company so there was no telling when it would come back on. Wayne (DH) and William (DS) got the oil lamps and candles out. It wasnt quite enough light (how did our ancestors do it) I took one of those small led flash lights and propped it up under my chin. That gave me light directed right where I was sewing. William played the piano by candle light and we talked. It was great fun after all. I do love my family. Arron got the quilt the next morning as William headed back to Brevard NC he stopped in Columbia to see Arron and gave him the quilt. The other story is that Aaron and his wife both work at the zoo in Columbia. I found a cute animal print and the back has penguins on it. Their favorite.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">T-shirt quilt for graduate. Word was sent back to me that she loved it. Hard to tell, but the fabric is a RWB uneven stripe. Therefore the corner stones to keep from having to match stripes.</span><div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Gyleen Fitzgerald is running another mystery quilt. Yea!! started Sunday. I have finally picked out fabrics. I say finally because I had other things to do before I got to this. Now to cut and sew. Here is a picture of the fabrics. Yes, that is a bright yellow, but it needs to be. The print is the main fabric. I will follow up with progress pics as I can.</span><br />

Life is crazy. I tried to post with internet explorer and it wouldnt let me add pictures. So had to go to Google Chrome. I keep forgetting to do that. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Anyway here is a picture of a quilt I finished in Feb. Just getting around to taking some pictures. This first one was started last summer as a mystery from Gyleen Fitzgerald. You can find the pattern in her new book, "Polygon Affair". These were fun projects. This looks like the center is appliqued, but it is all pieced. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue;">Next is Garden Path. I signed up to teach at Quilters of SC retreat this fall. This will be my class if enough folks sign up. So, remember to register. you must be a member of QSC. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Next is an Army quilt for a doctor at Ft Jackson that is retiring. Her friends got together and had me make this out of her uniforms and patches. I just love the way this came together. What great friends she has.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">And last, but not least is and updated picture of Cotton. she is 8 1/2 months old now. Trouble is her middle name. She loves to tear paper, any kind of paper. She tore up a paperback book today. At least we had read it and it was not a library book. I love her ears. We didnt crop them so they are big. she shows her expressions so much thru her ears. You just have to love her.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; text-align: start;">Two weeks ago I went to Birds of a Feather long arm retreat with Joyce, Pat and Margaret. This was located in Virginia Beach, Va. We had a great time. I took Statler classes and learned lots. On the right is a small quilt that Page Johnson quilted using her Statler. It is amazing. Her customer used great fabrics, too. I also took several close ups so you can see the quilting.</span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span></div>

Now I have to get back to quilting. I was selected to teach a class at QSC fall retreat in Oct. I need to finish the sample for a display in March. I have a month. I will make it. I am sewing rows together now, then the borders, only 2, and it will be ready to quilt. Watch for pictures in March. I am also sewing the binding on a Gyleen Fitzgerald quilt from this past summer. Will get a picture when I finish. It is a great quilt, if I must say so myself. lol </span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Small Quilt top that I made long time ago. I quilted it last month and gave as a door prize at our annual quilt party here. This was also on my UFO list for this year, so one down, more to go.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"> The quilt party is fun. All of the small groups get together once a year in January and have a covered dish lunch (most important), show and tell, talk about the county fair where we have an annual quilt show, and announce the quilter of the year.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">A customer brought be 24 old quilt blocks. All hand pieced. All different sizes, but close to 12 1/2 inches unfinished. And she wanted a KING size quilt. I had to make one more block to have enough. It is the very middle block, not bad. It took me quite a while to get this made and finished, but it is done. Yea!!! I quilted using a Baptist Fan pano. I thought that would go with the old fashion blocks, and it did. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">A Bonnie Hunter Mystery. She does a mystery quilt every year starting just after Thanksgiving. If you are interested click <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to go to her blog, where the instructions are. She puts out a new step every Friday. The picture above is my pallet. I decided to keep the neutral all the same fabric. Mainly because I didn't have much in the right color. These bights need a whitish background. beige would be awful. Below is step 1. As you can see I am behind one step. I should be on step 2. Well, I am sort of. One is cut out and 2 is now cut out. That is half the battle. Now to find time to sew.

<span style="color: blue;">Cotton got into my knitting. I left the basket on the floor Monday nite, so it is my fault. I am sure she had fun. It took me several hours to untangle the mess. I had to cut the yarn in several places. I had to rip out about 5 rows of knitting, but I salvaged the sock and finished the pair. The second pic is of the first sock complete.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">I wore these Friday and they were so nice and soft. Cant remember the yarn, but I like it. I am loosing my yarn shop. I just hear that the owner of the Hook and Needle in Columbia, SC, is in assisted living and friends will be having a sale and closing the shop for her. She will be greatly missed.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">SC Girls with Longarms issued a challenge to see how we could quilt this quilt. Two of the girls designed the quilt and we each made our own and quilted our way. Nine were unveiled this past Sat. Each was different. We each told what inspired us and how we quilted our piece. I have a Statler Stitcher, which is a computerized longarm. I divided the quilt into sections diagonally across the quilt and put a "modern" looking pano in each section. I stitch n the ditch all of the straight edges. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">This one is mine and here are the others. I cant remember who's is who's. let me know and I will put your name by your picture.</span><br />

Her name is Cotton. She is a mini Schnauzer. She is all black except for the tips of her rear toes. She may lighten up, because her father did. I love this nose picture, she is checking out the camera. LOL. We have had Cotton about 10 days. It took about 5 of those for Ranger to get used to her. Now they play and wrestle together. She likes to pounce on Ranger. The name came from driving to get her and home thru lots of cotton fields. </span></div>

Yes, I got carried away. LOL. Basically she was using us as pattern testers for a new book coming out spring of 2014. My Garden of Eden and 2 into 1 quilts should be in the book. I did not get Happiness finished in time for pictures. Life gets in the way, sometimes. I finally finished the top, so here it is, a wild thing at least!!</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I am thinking of adding another hexagon and having it floating. The background is 2 different stripes cut (or cuss)on the bias and pieced into the quilt. Lots of starch and pins, but it worked. I think the picture looks better that the quilt. Maybe I am just tired of all of those strips at a diagonal?? now to find time to get it quilted. Customers quilts come first. Oh My, I have many UFO's that need quilting. Maybe I can take Jan. off to quilt for me.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Another Gyleen Mystery in progress. Here is the first block. That is as far as I have gotten. Not really, I have the center hexies cut and a bunch of the half hexies cut, but I need many more half's. I am at a stand still. I pulled a muscle in my upper right arm. Darn thing has been hurting like ****. Finally easing off a little this afternoon., but no rotary cutting yet. Need to let it heal. Maybe DH will cut some for me. Yes, he really would!!! I have been using the mouse with my left hand, what fun.... brushing teeth left handed.... very interesting.</span><br />

I have told you many things about Patch, my son's yorkie. Monday we had to put him to sleep. It was time. He was 13 years and 8 months old. He quit eating and couldn't stand without wobbling or falling. The vet was wonderful, he even cried too. He said Patch had been one of his favorite patients. We will remember Patch as a wonderful pet.</span><br />
