Thanks for the tip! I'm not great at applique, but this is one that my mother started before she passed away, its the first one of hers that I'm going to finish. Its about 34" square.
The other is a bed quilt that she made for me several years ago.

Those are lovely. I find applique just as easy as piecing, once you get the hang of it. The trick is to go slow and line the right of your zig zag with the very right edge of the applique. If you go further onto the fabric it will pull and bunch.

she's allot of things........

she sure is aint she bert

I'll take a break from posting fabric to say:





I also bake.

Work is having a potluck tomorrow. I realize pumpkin pie isn't quite a December thing but 1) I didn't have Thanksgiving this year and 2) the girls at work were flabbergasted that I made my own pie crust (but store bought is so easy...) let alone knew how to actually turn a pumpkin into a pie.

So I had to bring in pumpkin pie. I thawed too much pumpkin, also, so I made mini pumpkin cheesecakes with the remainder.

I am hoping at least one of them appreciates a good homemade pie crust. It really isn't difficult to make or do.

yummmmmmmmssss they didnt leave a single piece at Thanksgivin! my piggish children!

My grandma was nuts

x2 I know for sure one was..... the other they also say totally insane cause she took off when my momma was young

and never looked back

OK that was a short respite from fabric posts.

Whew!

Here's what I finished up this weekend.

Wall hangings for my mother and sister (cardinals are supposed to be the spirit of deceased loved ones. While I don't believe that, they'll eat it up, and if not it's at least cheery)

love the cards!!!!

Good morning folks!


Line from a movie I watched over the weekend:

How do you get a sweet little old lady to yell "Ah, go [**bleep**] yourself!" ?? [insert your own curse word]

Get another sweet little old lady to yell "BINGO!"

I think the same of people who dont use the redneck steak griller. It is so strange to me that people ruin steaks on grill pans

As long as they keep my steak rare, I don't care how they cook it.

I am loving all the different sewing projects on here. Alaskan, do you have a link to where you found that chicken quilt? It is really cute and I would like to see if I can find the pattern.
Here is what I am working on right now. This is a project for a friend's daughter who is going through a rough patch right now. She loves Warrior Cats (I had never heard of them before now). I am going to make the panels into an attic window style lap quilt and add a border or two to bulk up the size a bit. If I had thought of how small this would be, I would have started with bigger panels.


I finished the last panel this morning before we headed into work. Oh and it is snowing now, has been snowing since last night and is supposed to snow into tomorrow evening. Yay
