Can You Believe It?

Row 13 is finished!  The trial is over (gone to the jury), so maybe I won't be spending as many hours sitting in the recliner listening to TV (I say listening since my eyes have obviously been on these blocks).

Teddy Bear Picnic

Happy 4th of July to my American friends.  We're especially in a celebratory mood today as our grandson returned home this week from his 2nd tour in Afghanistan.  He's also done 1 year in Iraq so we are thankful to know that his next assignment will be Belgium.

We've had a picnic going on in the house today.  Tom has been busily working on his Teddy Bear's Picnic quilt that he started a couple years ago.  Last I checked he was chain piecing more HST's and commented that if voyagers and fur traders could festoon themselves with bear paws, he supposed crazy quilters could do the same!

He's really making progress and those points are looking pretty darn good!  He said if he has any brain cells left after piecing this many HST's, he doesn't think anything about quilting will scare him again. 

It's going to be a great quilt!

Okay, I have to admit I've been spending a whole lot of time glued to the TV watching the Casey Anthony trial. I won't get into my feelings about it.  But it means I'm really blazing through these blocks.  Yesterday and today's blocks follow.

Three more rows to go and I can start quilting!

On Monday I received a beautiful siggie frorm Maree in Australia. I just love the cute little hexie flower.

Monday I quilted the little top I made in last week's workshop. First I added an additional border to make it a bit bigger. When I took the birthday quilt last week, the recipient commented she could use a quilt for the times she is in her wheelchair. This should now be the perfect size. 

I just did simple overall free motion but I used one of my favorite King Tut threads (Old Giza) from Superior Threads.  I just love the colors in it and it was perfect for this piece.
