I can't believe it's been so long since I posted~ Goes to show you how time flies~ ~

I joined a few of my friend and we took a class called Freddie Dots... it was four classes and we had a lot of fun. I made mine smaller then the instructors and haven't got the borders on yet. I had sent for some black with white dots and felt it was a good price. When it arrived, I was so disappointed ..... it was canvas! Yips! ! I was trying to think of something I could do with three yards of blank with white dots of canvas fabric? I had thought about covering my patio cushions and second thought that was not so pleasing! So I email the company back and they agreed to let me returning it for full credit. I thought that was great! I had planed on just returning it as what can a quilter do with canvas? Nice company~

I'll post a picture when I get my borders on.

I decided to make mine different from the instructor, I am making mine square rather then on point. (Picture below) This is how it was looking when it was on the design board, I've got it sewn together now but haven't found time to make my borders, now that I have the right cotton fabric. It will be a spiked borders and my quilt won't have as many spiked blocks as the instructors. Hers has 23 spiked blocks and mine only has eight large spiked blocks. This was a fun quilt to do and I'm anxious to get it done.

There are a few bocks that aren't completed at this point, I was working on the inside blocks and trying to balance the color placements.

Baby blanket is ready to quilt at this point~

I just completed this quilt for a baby gift. I put in on the floor trying to get a picture of it before one of my furry friends showed up, ..... To Late........

I almost made it too and here came Miss Paws, so I felt if she wants to be a model I'd let her.

This is her sister Sneezie.. She is such a good little girl and hardly ever makes trouble like her sister. When she talks you can hardly hear her little Meow... But when she wants to be tough! Look out!

I pin basted the quilt yesterday at our group, with the help of several ladies we got it done in no time. I wasn't to happy with the fusible web ~ The way it made the quilt so stiff. I know better too and was excited to get to stitching the animals down that I didn't think to cut out the center part of the web. Now that it's pinned I can start quilting it. Of course with the help of my kitty friends. I've got a humming bird feeder right out side my sewing room window and this year there is a new hummer that is friendlier then last years. It sits on the feeder and watches me for a long time and isn't even bothered by the cats sitting in the window . There are two of them and they are so territorial, so when another one shows up it's a battle over who rules! They are just now starting to use the feeder again as there must be enough flowers for them to get the nectar they don't need the humming bird feeder like they will in a few months. I love humming birds!

I hope everybody is having a great Summer~
