Health Update

I have been regaining my strength and energy.  Still can't do all that much with my right arm and I am right handed.  Am hoping that will change after my surgery tomorrow.  Not sure what time will find out between 3 and 5 this afternoon.  This will be the final surgery.  After this it is just checkups.  So please keep me in your thoughts and pray that all goes smoothly tomorrow.

WIP 6-19-2013 Picture intensive post

1.  Witches in Stitches is ready to be sandwiched. Hopefully next week as I have my final surgery tomorrow.

2.  Forget Me Not by Esther Aliu - blocks are all appliqued but I wasn't happy with them so adding some stitching to them.  Will post pictures when all 12 are done.

3.  This quilt top was finished over a year ago.  I have the backing material tucked away but feel that my quilting skills are not good enough to do this justice.  Will get it quilted in time.   The quilt is called Sharman's Vintage Garden designed by Jenny Haskins.  It is machine embroidered.  Each block takes approx 7 hours with the center block taking approx 28 hours.  Not sure if I will ever do anything this elaborate in machine embroidery again.  Here are the pictures.

Oh Rusty managed to get into the picture ouside.  He is my sewing supervisor and anything that drops onto the floor pickerupper to hand in for a treat.

Quilting Gallery - Circle Quilts

Please head over to The Quilting Gallery and vote for your 2 favorite circle quilts.  I am a guest judge this week.  I have already made my choices which was done by pictures only.  Did not read names or write ups so had no idea who I was voting for just the quilt picture itself.  Sorry if any of my friends or followers have entered, was the only way to do it fairly.

Go enjoy the eye candy.

W.I.P. June 5 - 2013

Witches in Stitches is almost done.  Needs the top and bottom border then can be sandwiched also need to do the spider legs still.  No idea how I am going to quilt this yet.  Am thinking just stitch in the ditch and a quick stitch around the applique.

With all the quilting I have been working on someone decided that he needed a quilt too so this is in the works.  Is my own design.

Still to be sewn together - Forget Me Not


Waiting to be quilted.

Etsy shop has reopened.

Am slowly listing things for my shop again.  Had it closed down while going through treatments.  So far am only listing the Vintage PDF Booklets some of which I never showed here.  I will eventually be listing the homemade items again but that will take some more time.  As for the digitizing I am not sure if I will be relisting those as dealing with some of the customers had me quite stressed out.

Quilting Gallery Contest 20 May 13 Flower Gardens

Thank you to all that voted.  There were some gorgeous quilts there.  Mimi's Bloomers ended at a very respectable 4th place out of 34.  Was very surprised and please by this.  I will be entering other quilts into these contest here and there.  We should all check them out each week.  Even if it is just for the eye candy.
