Omigosh!

I had better clarify, I saw Lyn Johnson working on this quilt at retreat last fall. Came home and ordered the pattern. For the record, I started it on April 4, 2010. I have completed enough 9 inch strip sets to make the 9-patch blocks. Lots and lots of them. Now for the hard part, sewing them into 9-patches. No pictures tonight, would be the same as last nite.

Happy quilting,
Vicki

Omigosh

This is the beginning of the next quilt. This one may take a while. As you can see these are small pieces. The name of the quilt is Omigosh! by Quakertown. You can find the pattern here www.quakertownquilt.com/patterns/suegarman.shtml


The first picture is 1 1/2 inch strips and strip sets. The second picture is one of the 9-patches. see the quarter for sizing. This is 2 inches. The pattern is made of double 9-patches and shoo fly blocks.

As you can tell, this may take me awhile. I may have lost my mind. LOL. One thing I do know, is that I am having to be very precise on the cutting and sewing. There is no room for error. Of course I do love the challenge.




I am collecting fabrics for another quilt. Polka dots. A few months ago Vicki Perry's mother did a trunk show at Greater Columbia Quilters. She had a Piece O Cake quilt that I loved. It is called "Completely Dottie" . You may have to wait awhile for this one. LOL.

I maybe about caught up on this blogging thing.

Happy Quilting,
Vicki

Johnny Jump Ups

Look at this! My baby violets came in a hole in the brick. I had a bunch of these 2 years ago, but DH sprayed them with round up. Don't ask. This one came back by itself. A friend I used to work with gave me a few about 12 years ago and this is from that small bunch. I am glad to have it back. They are so small and beautiful.

New Car

I got a new car!!! Our son graduates from college on May 15. He gets the old car (0nly 3 yrs) for graduation. I got the new one. What do you think. RED!!! Opps there is DH coming around the corner behind it. This is a Chevy Equinox. The old car is a green Equinox. Yes, I liked it. I really like the new one. They have upgraded it and it is allot nicer and quieter. Chevy did a good job upgrading this car. Gas mileage is supposed to be 32 on the hwy.

Greater Columbia Quilters

Yesterday was GCQ meeting. What fun. We had a trunk show that was fabulous. The guest speeker was Lou Ann Byars. Here are a few pictures. The light is not great, but they are beautiful quilts.

Jewel Box

The Jewel Box top is ready for borders. I have had it to this point for about 2 weeks. Tomorrow I will try out borders tomorrow. I cut this out with my Accuquilt. It is all scraps except the background. It is beautiful. I may have to make another one to keep. This one is going to my niece for graduation from high school.
