Time to Catch Up!!

Wow, you probably wonder if I'm ever coming back.....sometimes I wonder too!  Well I have been busy and I'll try to catch you up on what I've been doing.

First of all, since my last post we had a huge Hail Storm hit here on the 25th of May.  We had heavy damage to our property as well as to our vehicle.  Below are just a couple pictures that we took.....

As you can see...it took down our poor flowering peach tree in our backyard.  All the white on the ground is hail!

This is one of the 3 inch hail stones that hammered our house and yard.

Other that worrying about repairs and such from hail storm damage....we will need a new roof on both our house and Bob's workshop, need new front deck cover, and some repairs to window wraps around two of our windows on the house and then various other misc. items.  I've been working on customer quilts on the longarm.  This is a photo of one gal's first quilt that I quilted on the longarm  for her.

I've also been taking Cake Decorating Classes and here is one of the cakes that I did.

The hand piecing has been coming along nicely and I am still in love with it!!  I only have three to go before this table topper will be complete and ready to hand quilt!

This is another customer quilt that I did on the longarm.  It is called Mother Daughter Quilt for the Cure.  A breast cancer quilt for relay for life.  I quilted the words Hope, Cure, and a Pink Ribbon Emblem as an all over pattern on it.

I also finished the Yellow Brick Road quilt for our daybed and just this afternoon made the pillowcases for it to match.

This is the tube method for making the pillowcases.  No unfinished seams showing when you are done!!

Next on my list of things to do will be to quilt the Star Sampler Quilt that I taught at the Xenia Adult Recreation Center.  The top and backing are ready and waiting for me to cut the batting and load it on the longarm.  I also have a cute tumbler quilt cut and ready to piece that will hopefully be done in time for my Grandson's first birthday the end of September!

Well, I think that I have caught you up now on what I have been doing in and around my Quilt Studio.  Check in soon again as I will try not to be so late in posting in the future.

Thanks for stopping by,
