Come On! Let's Hand Quilt

From Pinterst

I want to hand quilt, do you?..... I want to start ..... I think it looks relaxing...I have The Thimble Ladies Thimble to use...what kind would you use?
....here are a couple videos on it....Let me know if you give it a try...seriously!!......please watch Andi Perejda 

That is so awesome!  This one is a bit longer but it is sweet too.....Hand Quilting Hints  is what I am going to  call it.
 If you have never hand quilted, please give it a try.  My older sister prefers hand quilting.

 I have a quilt from the 1920's I found with pink houses on it...someone put the pencil marks for hand quilting...I want to get it basted to my quilt frame and give it a try or my lap quilting hoop would be fun too.
By George,  I think I just inspired myself :).....Gonna do it!!.......Blessings!!!

Hot Hexies

My Loft with new dressings....wink :)

My Suzie Bell is calling me!!

I came across this sweet and fun video with Elenor Burns called Hot Hexies. It is short and sweet.
  I do have some already cut Hexies from Bonnie and Camille and so it would be fun to put them together soon too.  You can find Hexie Quilt Ideas on Pinterest too.  I wish I were quilting right now....but with the 70 degree days I am going forward with my paint/stain brush!....we may even get to show the filled up Koi pond soon too....have to run to Pond Supply store today to get more 2 sided tape.....it is awesome for fixing holes in heavy vinyl pond liners....FYI ...wink!   Yes, after being involved in building this cabin with my hub for over 11 years now I have become somewhat of a DIY gal!!.....and it is OK with me!!.....it has been a great journey!.....Ok! I really want to finish my outside work so I can redeem the time again in Quilting....Have a wonderfully cooler than normal, Summer Day!!  Blessings!!!
Had to add this find too at....Scrap Book Girl

Just Sharing some photos of what has kept me away from my longarm "Suziebell"

My soul mate Gary rests.  He has an undying devotion and love for me,  his family and Lord.  An Awesome, soon to be retired ER RN!!
....I also found a wonderful bag pattern on Swoon Patterns, Coraline Clutch.  
Please check out the photo of her clutch below....I have not made it yet myself.

I am just thinking that it was named after two of our sweet Grandgals, Coralynn and Caroline, and to be found on an online site named after my favorite pattern.. .Swoon. That was too sweet, not to share it with you!!

I almost missed drying these!!

Devoted!!
