These are the dolls I made for a swap at the Board. The ladies said they liked them I also made them each a bunny magnet for the frig and a flower pin cushion. I have received one of mine so far but will post both when I get the other.

I have been working on two CAL's and a quilt I started for the mini swap but changed my mind. I am almost finished machine quilting it and then will bind it.

I went to a LQS last week and had a bad experience. I bought two kits and 2 patterns. Anyway on the way home I disovered that the kits had no patterns. I was pretty upset but went online to Amazon.com and ordered the book. It came the other day and is very new looking. Bits and Pieces is the name it has 18 patterns. So I guess I did good huh? The book was half price online.

I am still in a BOM at HGTV and it is fun to see the different ways people make their own blocks.

It has been a weird weekend as far as the weather it was 76° Saturday, 70° Sunday and supposed to be 50° today.

I am still working on my mini quilt for the swap. I received mine from Holee Saturday along with some wonderful surprises. I msade a huge error but I think I have it fixed.

I read The Friday Night Knitting Club last week and it was so good even though the ending was really sad I almost cried.

I haven't crocheted much but will next week when they have another CAL at Eri's from Pam. She is really good at writing out the patterns for us.

I found out Walmart has jellyrolls and FQ's again so I went over yesterday and bought 1 jellyroll for $9.99 in bright colors for my stash.

Have a wonderful day and week

These are two dolls I bought at Walmart I want to make them some different clothes than what they have now. They have the cutest facial expressions like real babys'.
I have been working on my mini swap quilt and it is coming along better now after I had to completely redo the blocks. Also the doily I was working on is no longer. So now I am making a potholder for another swap for my Canadian forum lady.
The weather has warmed up to mid 30's and was sunny all day. Rain coming Thursday.

Just wanted to show you my new sewing table. I got it online from Sewing Table Shop.com in 4 days and my DH put it together in an hour and a half. My old one is going to the VOA next Saturday we got it at a Singer store in the 1970's but it is small with no table space. I like the new one with the drawers to keep everything in one place.

I have been making a Daisy doily that has motifs it says it takes 10 of them but I think mine will need more I don't know why this has happened.

Keep warm

It is already the middle of February the weather is fairly warm but bad storms are on the way.

The pic is a thread potholder I made in a CAL at Eri's and was a lot of fun. Pam usually runs these so I know they will be fun for all of us.

A lot has happened I have a new blog for quilting now and am involved in a mini quilt swap. My partner is Bea from PA and I can't wait to see what she comes up with. She is the hostess for the swap too and is very experienced unlike me. It is at HGTV which I have belonged to for quite awhile in the crocheting and gardening forums. I changed my mind and have decided what to make and got my fabric yesterday. I will be sure to post when I finish it.

I went to lunch with my friend Karol today at Applebee's and man it was so good. Their chili is wonderful and I had the Oriental salad. You can't beat it for $5.99 a pop.

Thanks for reading.

The holidays are over and I am so glad. We have been lucky here with the weather only a few light snows so far.
I have rejoined the HGTV forums and now go to the quilting one regularly and it is so fun.
There are several ladies who live in my area and we may get together sometime. I am doing some swaps there and some still at Scrappy Quilters.
I have started a BOM that will go on for 12 months and I am looking forward to that. The first block is tricky because the amounts given are for 4 blocks and I have to figure out for just the one. LOL. I am no math person.
On New Year's day we went to The Anderson's and looked around bought a few items, for one thing a new toy for Pancho and of course he just ignores it LOL.
I had lunch today with my friend KM at a Subway shop that was really nice. It was good to see her since we haven't met since about September.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday time and that they have a great year.

These are the blocks I made for the swap at Scrappyquilters.

I will mail them on Monday. All of the snow is gone since it was 52 Thursday but now it is very cold again in the teens this morning. I received pkgs. from the two swaps for Christmas I was in. Both were very nice the ladies really go all out for this. The one from Canada costs over $10.00 to mail from BC.

The one I mailed to Ky. she said she liked it all and that was a relief I always think I don't do enough for these. Second guessing is not good lol.

My friend Pam lost her father this week and that is so sad this time of year. My mom died Dec. 3rd in 1984 and it was rough.
