Jewel Box

Here is the Jewel Box I made for my niece for her high school graduation. I still have to get a label on it and the quilt to her. I am going to make a label today! I cut out all the pieces, except the border with my Accuquilt Studio. this is an all scrappy quilt, with the background the same fabric. I just love it. I know I will have to make another one to keep. But, first I have to finish that Omigosh.

Maybe I am caught up a little. maybe.

happy quilting, Vicki

Omigosh!

4 patches are finished, all 880 of them and maybe a few extra. The next step is to make these the centers of square in a square blocks that finish 2 inches. Here is one I did to see what they would look like. That is a quarter by it. Small!!! Omigosh. After that I have to make 880 half square triangles and the take all these parts and make Shoo Fly blocks for the alternate block. Months and months to go, haha,hehe, hoho. Yes, I am losing it.

Omigosh!

I have been missing for awhile. I am still here. Been busy. Went to the mountains, in NC, to visit my friend GA. We shopped and sewed, till we dropped. Had a great time. On the way home I stopped in Clinton and got another dog. Yes, I have lost my mind. His name is Ranger and he is another Yorkie. He is 4 1/2 months old now. Patch is jealous. But this morning they were playing together for the first time. Yeah!! I know, you want pictures. I will when I can get him to be still. I think he has ADD. LOL Now if I can get this house training thing across to Ranger!!!. ulck!.

In the mean time I have been sewing a little. I finished the Double 9 patches for the Omigosh quilt. 110 of them! Now on to the next step 444, 4 patches.

Happy quilting,

Vick

Graduation!

William, ds, graduated from college this past Sat. YEAH!!! It was also his Dad's birthday. What a great gift. We are so proud of him. He graduated from Brevard College, in Brevard NC. A great small school. His degree is in Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education, with a Biology minor, and he has a 3.15 gpa. YEAH! again. He is working at Boy Scout camp this summer and after that who knows. What a great kid. I know this is the back of his head. The college was taking picture, so will post when we get them.

Omigosh!

Hi, I haven't posted in about 2 weeks. Life has been crazy. Here is a picture and update of the Omigosh! quilt. This is 563 nine patch blocks, I need 550, but a few extras wont hurt. They are 2 inches at this point and will finish one and one/half inches. The next step is to turn them into double nine patches, with a blank block as the alternate. I am using shirting or shirting type fabrics. If sew a few at a time and they WILL get done! Actually I already have about 2o together. The total is to be 110.

Johnny Jump Ups

The Johnny Jump up had really grown. This is by my front door.

T-Shirt Quilt

I finished another t-shirt quilt for a customer. It turned out good. I took the small patches from the front of the shirts and appliqued them around the border. I really liked this.
