MONDAY MAKING.......

The bugs have arrived on my SAHRR.  butterflies, bees, and snails.  I've it all pinned down, just have to start sewing them all down.

I've also got all the hearts on the basket quilt.  They are ready to sew down.

And I'm still working on Wk 11 of TAST, which is the French Knot.  I've got a lot of French Knots to

make for this one.  Each one of those green lines has French Knots at the ends of them.  I'll be making some pink and some yellow.  You can find Wk 11 over at Pintangle.

This is what I'll be working on today.....now I just have to make up my mind and pick one to work on.

CHRISTMAS PROGRESS....

 Last night while watching T.V, I started putting the Christmas Sampler together.  I got 3 rows all sewed together.

I've only got one more row to add on.  But, I think I'm going to make more blocks and get this top big enough for my bed.  It's a Twin size....so it shouldn't take to long to get enough of them done.  

While I was digging around in my fabric boxes the other day, I found some more Christmas fabric.  If all else fails, I'll some more on-line.  That's all I've got today.

DO YOU REMEMBER......

 2016, the year the Circles took over the blogosphear.  Audrey over at Quilty Folk started making circles and everyone wanted to join in.  So Quilty 3365 was born.  The idea behind this, was to make one circle every month.  So I jumped in.  I sewed until I got tired of doing circles and moved on to other quilts.  Well, I dragged out my quilt top and supplies,  everything I need to finish this quilt top.

 

  and I've started working on it again.  All the circles have been sewen on to the white squares, then I can join them all together.  I only have to sew on October, November and December.  Then lots of embroidery work to do.

So I have my center block, Rd 1-Curves, Rd2-Diamond Rd3 - Star  Rd 4 Signature.  My Rd 5 is Applique.  Mine will be flowers and bugs.

THE CLAMS ARE....

WHEN NOT QUILTING.....

 I work on my flower beds...well my son helps a lot with that.  At the moment the Iris is blooming.

We just added some Lupine's and Calla Lillie's to the front garden.  It's still a work in progress.  Haven't quite got it all organized yet.

On the quilting front...still working on several projects.  I've got a bag full of odds and ends scraps.  I can't stand to throw them away.  They aren't big enough to use, but still I can't throw the away.  Sooooo, I decided to make a Tiny Tile Quilt with them.  The blocks are 3 1/2".

It will take a lot of these to make a quilt, but I have lots of scraps to work with.  Don't we all!  Do you save your tiny scraps?

IT'S A SLOW MONDAY.....

 Well, here we are at Monday again....some days go fast and some go slow.  Just like my quilting.  The same goes for months.  It's the 3rd of May already and I still haven't gotten the Teapot Quilt tied or the Tile Quilt sandwiched.  It seems to help me get motivated by making a list of things I want to get done.  Or even better, join up with a Meme that is working on a quilt I want to finish.  And WOOFA  is the perfect place to be.  WOOFA is over at Gone Stitchin'.  My WOOFA project for May is to finish the Teapot and Tile quilts.  We'll see how far I get on this. lol  The Teapot quilt is in my hoop waiting to be tied and I still need to cut the fabric for the binding.

The Tile Quilt is a filmsey.  It needs to be sandwiched, tied and binding added.  

So these 2 quilts will be my main focus this month.  Hopefully I'll have a couple of finishes I can share with you by months end.

STITCHING ON THIS AND THAT.......

 I've got blocks caught up for the A to Z Blogging Challenge to the letter T.  Today's letter is 

P...for Pumpkin

I've always considered pumpkins a veggie....but it's NOT.  

A pumpkin, from a botanist's perspective, is a fruit because it's a product of the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants. Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible portion of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, bulbs, flowers, and tubers.

Want to know more about the Pumpkin?  Wikipedia has all the info you want to find out.

I am working on a National Day Calendar Quilt.  April is Car Care Month.  So I of course made a Car block for my quilt.  I need to put a tail light on this car.  I'll be using a Bullion Knot for this.  Want to know how to make a Bullion Knot...hop over to Sharon's place, Pintangle.  She has a picture tutorial on how to do this stitch.

 And yesterday's post was about my Table Runner.  I finished the center embroidery for this.  Now to figure out what to do with the rest of the space.  Any suggestions?????

 Jar...Mason Jars filled with Sunflowers.

 I love Mason Jars....you can use them for all kinds of things. They are mostly used for home canning.  I have my buttons in several of them.  You can check out the history of Mason Jars at Wikipedia.

I made a Jar Quilt years ago...and never finished it.  I finally got it finished last year.

I've also been working on my Salt and Sand Quilt...got a another Fish sewed on it

OOOOOPS......

 I totally forgot about the Sunday thing with the A to Z Blogging Challenge.  I posted my D is for Duck yesterday...so I'll post it today...again.

From a Goggle Search...

Male ducks are called drakes and female ducks are usually referred to as, well, ducks. A group of ducks may be called a brace, raft, skiff, team, paddling or sord, depending on where you're from.

 

I'm working on my  my Salt and Sand Quilt right now.  Appliqueing the fish on right now.  The next border will be Clams...and then Jelly Fish.

Well, I guess that's it for today...I'm linking to:

PULLING FABRIC.....

 I decided to dig out my Red Work pieces and see what I can do with them.  I've had these for years.  It's time to do something with them.  

They are all baskets with flowers.  Now to decide what to use for the filler blocks....I've got some pretty new red fabric...but which one to use.  The picture makes the fabrics and baskets look pink, but they are red..What do you think?  Let me know what you think.

WHAT'S UP THIS YEAR AND NEXT.....

 I've almost got the Jar Quilt done.  One more piece of binding and the label and it's done.

Have you got your next quilt for 2021 picked out?  I will be working on Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam.  NOTE: If you can't make out the design,just click on the picture for a close up.) I made these for my grand kids a couple years ago.  They are embroidered blocks. Well, that will be minus Bob...he decided to take a nap on the  Quilt top.  This is Bella's quilt.

Overall Sam is for my grandson, Luke.

Something besides quilts....I am doing the I'm Following A Tree over at The Squirrel Basket.  Just pop over and check out all the info on this.  Here is the tree I've been following.  It's a really big Maple tree in our back yard.  The tree is so tall I can't get a whole picture of it with my camera.  So I pick pieces of it out to show.  This is the top of the tree.  As you can see all the leaves are gone.

And this is the middle of the tree.  It has hole in it, that is where the squirrels rest while eating.  Sorry, no squirrels today.  

These are the limbs at the top of tree.  The tree has severl branching limbs on it.  When we have an ice storm, I'm afraid the tree will split.  I've lived here 40 plus years.  The tree is still standing and doing well.  No major loss of limbs. 

This is the tree in the spring....as you can see I still didn't get the whole tree.  

That's it for today.  Well, one more thing.  Does anyone know how to fix the spacing on blogger????  I have searched and can't find anything about it.  Any tips would be appreciated.
