Walking for the Cure and First Craftsy Paper Pieced BOM
It was a beautiful day, it started out a little cool and then turned to perfect. Good thing, this old one hasn't done much walking lately and we had 3 miles to walk. |
Some of the walkers were really into the spirit of things, with costumes and everything. It was a little fun added to a very serious intention. |
After the walk we had to shore up on calories so we stopped at Toojay's Deli for a very delicious breakfast. There was also a little horseplay by the grandkids who went along to walk. |
Doesn't the bakery section look delicious. My grandson isn't bad either. |
We were going to make the sacrifice of purchasing some pink and white cookies, but they were out so we got some black and white ones anyway. |
Just 3 more blocks to go - there's supposed to be 17 here, somehow I missed 2, but they will be in the quilt. I think I missed February. |

Rolling Along on My Craftsy BOM
What can I say, I have a gypsy soul and a hee haw sense of humor. I'd like to think that I'm catching up with Amanda, but I have a feeling that she's still ahead of me. |

I Like It Better Now
The dark brown back coordinates nicely I think, but it sure does pick up everything, and show everything. |
The dark back also makes the label and tumbler strip show up better. It's for a friend of the grandchildrens who just got his honorable discharge from the army this month. I hope he likes it and isn't a quilt critic who can recognize all it's flaws. If one of my children, this one may have been the black sheep, lol. I linked up to Crazy Mom Quilts finish it up Friday. Go here. |

Not My Favorite Flimsy
My flimsy from Alycia Quilts, Quilt of Valor Mystery Quilt-a-Long has borders now. I can't say it's a favorite, as it doesn't satisfy my gypsy soul. My colors are drab and my answer to the empty spaces was embroideries, and one is too dark and one is too light. The mystery was designed to be followed up by a quilting class, but it looked to be geared for longarms and since I don't have one I thought I'd try this. It still has to be quilted, which as I've said before even my meandering seems to improve things, so I still have hope. Evidently the tan fabric should have been all turned the same direction to avoid the shadings, but it doesn't show so much in person. As the saying goes, done is better than perfect, so I hope to get it done soon. |

Table Topper No. 2 Finished
I'm kind of enjoying these small quilts. This one I think will be good for winter. If You've thought brown to be drab go to Scraphappy here and see if you change your mind. |
