Monkeying Around!

My mother is leading the Charity committee for our guild this year. I am so lucky she is doing this because whatever she leads--she is great at it!  

These are two of her quilts that she is donating to a wonderful cause through our guild. I usually get to quilt pieces that she will donate.

This turns out to be a win for every one. She gets her quilts quilted. I get to practice. And a child will be happy to receive these.

Doing squares all over a quilt is not as easy as I thought! This is a good brain exercise!!

I love how she strip pieced the backs as well.

FYI! The monkey fabric is a cut up fabric shower curtain! What a great re-purpose!

This one is done with Angela Walters recent video clip to practice her technique of  the Swirl Hook Video Tutorial. Which made this quilt more feminine looking.

This was done with all "Square in a Square" making it look more masculine for a boy.

Today is day two for the "See You In September" Blog Hop!

Go Out On The Boat!

Awoke to heat and overcast skies. Our plan is to head out on the boat since time is ticking away since our youngest soon heads back to Florida. So while the clouds linger, I have been working on our guild UFO Challenge piece. I know all of your quilts are perfectly square! But some of mine either have to be blocked or they just look nicer when blocked. There are several ways of blocking but I did take photos on how I do mine however I will post that after our meeting. 

Here are a few pics blocking earlier today.

I was contemplating making jam but remembered the other day Kelly from Pink A Dot Quilts made a yummy pie. Being on the fence my son asked if I would make some Peach Soup. My mother always made us strawberry, blueberry or mixed fruit soup. It is a bowl of comfort!  

Today also starts the:

Friend's on Friday -Valencia

Valencia made this beautifully bold quilt.

This is one of two quilts I recently quilted for her. 

Valencia is making a quilt for each of her grandchildren.

 She pieces all of her backs, using interesting fabrics. 

It is hard to see but she used some 

Wonder Women comic fabric, which is so much fun!

Thanks For The Reminder!

I am wondering.......

how many times I can rip a project apart before it falls apart?

Our quilt guild recently sent us a reminder that I am to have a UFO completed for our September meeting.

Above is the pile of hst's that I committed to finish!

What is wrong with me?

By the time I am done ripping and re-ripping, there will be nothing left!!
