"Schooly"

Loving Cindy Needham's new Template

Part of quilting can be a ripping day.....not ripping my guts out with laughter....I have
done that in the past but not over quilting...heehee....
I was using yellow thread the other day on one row of my American Jane.....I had
decided on counsel with my friend Amy and decided to use different colors of thread on the
rows since it was a very "schooly" quilt....if there is such a word!!.....so the yellow
looked a little weird on some blocks but did I stop and use my mirror to see or investigate....
NOPE....I kept on quilting.....more rows, more colors.....I am half way done now
through 10 rows but I am patiently and with perserverence, as the Book of James
talks about, ripping out the feathered stitches......I am glad that I did not do the whole 8 blocks on this
row with the bad tension.
I am also glad that my Gammill is a faithful friend and I don't have this problem
very often....but once a year is enough for me!!.......

OPPS!!

RIPP RIPP RIPP......van winkle?

Now some cute pics of my son in Maryland as he opens his new wireless Bose speaker....he was 44 last week and he son was 20 2 days before his birthday.....and so you can see his son's reaction to
his Daddyo's gift from us......Our son also graduated from College with a BS in History in the Spring....so better late than never combo gift.....
He has shared that the speaker has made it's way around the house.....I hope he gets to use it too!!!.....we have one and it is awesome!!....

A speaker WELL deserved

Can I say MORE I WANT MORE!!

And then our son in Bloomington went to an IU Football game .....and they won!!.....so see you son in three weeks at the SHOE!!!......just sayin'
Oh by the way, son..remember when I Tebowed on your IU emblem.....Just sayin'.....

Thanks for stopping by....it is a good day to have a good day!!.....ripping or not!!

American Jane

Jane Baby

She is Done, 1030 pm Wednesday night......she is not perfect...she is finished....a long journey, even
if it was only 7 months from start to finish....determination, regardless of
how I felt, got her finished....

I must admit I enjoyed the two Farmer's Wife Quilts I did more than Dear Jane.....250 blocks is a long tedious paper pieced Trail but, I am glad for the paper patterns that I could use for them......sew, she is
done.  She is marked off my bucket list.....the scallops are bond and this time, hand sewn.  My daughters Swoon is also finished and has binding on it. Ready to ship to Ohio this fall.

Leah's Swoon

This is a very good day to have a good day.

We pray those is Florida will be safe in the coming storm and some areas already feeling the affects.  We will get up to 5 inches here also......people are

Jane Scallops

already getting ready for the storm.  Being from the Midwest I am not sure
why you get ready for 5 inches of rain.....we live on a bluff with no rivers near
by.....i do admit the drainage systems here are not that adequate so rain does do
damage in places.

Please enjoy Labor Day Weekend and the last bit of summer..........here we are
clapping our hands.......we are ready for cooler days ahead.

My Jane Baby with Attitude

Coming Storm

Bound To Jane Baby

Jewelry?

Stacks of scraps

Weekend....HOT.....Dry....heat....swimming....quilting.....
loving on our Golden Sunny Boy......Quilt Jewelry.

There was serious storms last week.....tornadoes with no deaths in Indiana
and Ohio....a miracle......and then flooding in NE Iowa....and flooding in
Indianapolis...so much rain....no where to go!!

Stitchin' Soul

                                             Elation Day!!  It was yesterday!  Still feelin' it!!

My Dear Jane Baby (with attitude) got her souls last stitch at 530 pm
August 25th 2016!!!  Started her journey in February and as some of

you may know I have had sciatica since I started her.  I would love
to say the pain is gone....when I finished her up....but it is not, but it
is improving.  I am going up stairs better now....we are strengthening
the smaller Gluteal Muscle.....my nights can still be problematic....
but I keep Quilting....just shorter times standing at my Suziebell or sitting
at the sewing machine....

So,  I am happy to say I have 3 heirloom quilts ready for our 3 kids.....my gift
to them....later....2 Farmer Wives and 1 Dear Jane.....

I am figuring out what top to do next....I think it will be my Granny Square I

Last Stitch to Complete her "Soul"

pieced a couple years ago while snowbound in our cabin in Indiana.

My hub did finish the back metal roof....we did the pressure washer on theback siding (SC has a problem with algae growing on siding in summer)....

Enjoy the photos and please have a blessed day.....rejoice in the Lord!!

Love My Suziebell!!

Just a Process of Patience and Perserverence

Quilted Blessings!!
