I was bad this week.  But I have been wanting this pattern for along time.  So I have pattern and 2 yards of fabric to make it. I love Turtles. Sorry it is a little fuzzy.  Will have to wait until I get my Deb Karisik's quilt finished.  Which means I have to work on it. LOL  Been a busy week, so not much quilting done.  Hope to sew this afternoon so I will have something to add to the design wall for tomorrow link up.  By the way you can see other stash reports and design wall Mondays at Patchwork Times by Judy L.

This next picture is the steering wheel of my step mothers car.  I drove Dad and step mom home from the hospital yesterday.  Dad had a pacemaker put in on Friday and could not drive.(he can drive today)  Step mom had foot surgery few weeks ago and can not drive.  So I drove them home in their car and Wayne followed us.  It was about 1 1/2 hours away and then about 1 1/4 hours back to our house in another direction.  Boy does she have a great car. Drove like a dream.  I will put this on my wish list for when I win the lottery.  Oh, that's right got to buy a ticket first.  I never do. LOL anyway this is her steering wheel cover.  It is so retro and so unlike her.  But I love it and so does she.  I need to make me a quilty one.   Wouldn't that be fun.

Gee, I talked alot.  Better go sew some now.

Happy Quilting, Vicki

DAD

For those of  you that did know and those that didnt, my Dad had a pacemaker put in yesterday.  He is doing great.  He went for 40 beats to 60 beats.  So much better.

Keep quilting,
Vicki

Pillow Cases

Found this picture in the camera.  Didnt know I had it.  I made 38 Pillow cases between Christmas and New Years.  This is them all cut out and ready to sew.  25 of them went to Greater Columbia Quilters for charity.  The rest are here to send to family in Va.  I really need to mail them.

Got to take Patch to the vet. He has a bad eye infection.

Happy Quilting,

Design Wall Monday

This is my design wall.  Working on Deb Karasik's quilt.  I took this class at Greater Columbia Quilters a few week ago.  

 Here is my sewing table mess. I goofed on one of the strips and had to unsew it.  This is paper piecing, so I have to do this one again.  It is the last for this section.  Then I can put a few sections together.  It will start coming together soon.  I hope.

Here is a picture of Deb holding the quilt.  This is what I am striving to make.  Deb used batiks.  Most of us in the class are using a gradated hombre.  It is going to POP.  I am loving it.  So You got a little extra on the design wall today.

Happy Quilting

Long Week

This has been a very long week and it is not over yet. 

Monday, I loaded and worked on a quilt for a customer.

Tuesday, I went to Greater Columbia Quilt Guild.  The speaker was Deb Karasik.  She was wonderful, funny and just great.  Her husband was with her and helped a lot.  He is a keeper for Deb.

Wednesday, I took an all day class from Deb Karasik.  It was great.  We learned about color gradations and paper piecing Deb's way.  I did learn a thing or two, or three or more.  Was great fun.

Thursday was our Annual Quilt Party here in Orangeburg county.  This is where all of our small guilds get together once a year, have a covered dish lunch, show and tell, and tell what each guild has been working on for the past year.  We also nominate a quilter of the year.  This person has to have been helpful with  quilting to the county and area. This year my friend Verity Creekmore won.  You should have seen her face, she was so shocked she was speechless and she is never, never speechless.

Friday, I had to go to the pain specialist in Charleston.  My appointment was for next Tuesday, but they called and moved it up.  Worked out good.  But, when we got home Patch, our 13 year old Yorkie, couldnt stand and was shaking all over.  Our vet was out of town, so we had to take him to the vet on call.  More money.  Patch is a diabetic.  After 3 hrs at the vet he figured out Patch has and eye infection in both eyes, but the right eye has been torn.  It had to be debribed and meds put in.  So he has 2 eye meds for the right eye and one for the left eye.  We go back in a week to do it all over again.  Also I have to take him back Monday to talk to the other vet about his diabetic treatment. 

Tomorrow, Saturday, is longarm group meeeting in Columbia, about 45 miles away.  I made chili to take.  We do a covered dish lunch.  Tomorrow is soup day.  Should be good.  I hope everything else goes good.

Next week, I hope will be back to normal.  Exercise and quilting...... I need to get back to both.

I am pooped, so am going to watch some tv.... Blue Bloods is on tonite.  I do love Tom Selleck!

Happy Quitling,
Vicki
