Here it is already the end of March. Wow where does the time go? I have no idea.
I have been sewing items for the Busy Bee Guild Quilt Show on April 25th and 26th at the Monroe Fairgrounds. Hopefully tomorrow I can upload a few pictures to show what I have been making. So exciting!
So until tomorrow .
Happy Stitching--- LindaLouQuilts

Missing In Blogland!
This is rather embarrassing to not post on my own blog for such a long time!
But hopefully I can change that and at least post a couple times a week !
I will have to get some pictures out and shaow the projects that have been completed over the last several months.
Oh I could just get busy and only post what I am currently working on .
The summer went by way too fast and now we are into the beautiful months of fall. I just love the colors and all the leaves changing colors. The pumpkins are bright orange orbs in the fields and soon the ghost and goblins will be begging at our doors for treats!!! Such a fun time of year.
This morning is going to be a sewing day before I head off to meet the grand daughter from the bus.
Wishing every one a great day of sewing!

Sunday Sewing
Today was a day for finishing a few projects and a little retail therapy!
I got a call early this morning from daughter #2 asking if I wanted to go to Ben Franklin Crafts? Well of course I do , it is one of my favorite stores. If you have never been in one it is kind of like a small Hobby Lobby or Michaels. But their store is less chaotic then Michaels! I found one of the fabrics I was looking for and a pattern in the discount section.
Later in the afternoon it was a trip to Quality Sewing to pick up a ruffling foot for my machine. The one I had was working fine then it up and quit. But now I have the one made just for my machine and it works so nice. I think I will be using it a lot!
I finished up a baby gift, and will finish another gift later after dinner. Tomorrow is grand daughter day and she has a dental cleaning. Then we have a date to take a walk to go see some little ponies that are down the road for me. It will be a great day.
What did you sew this weekend?

Saturday Sewing
Yesterday and today I have been sewing a beautiful baby crib set for our new grand baby due in January. Late yesterday afternoon while making the ruffle with my ruffle attachment it decide to stop working. So today I again tried to use it to no avail. So now I guess it will be another trip to my local sewing shop to see if they have one. I so hope they do. It makes such a beautiful pleated ruffle and is so easy to do.
Also on my list of projects is to finish up some bibs I started a few weeks ago. One is for a friend of my sons young baby. It is a Halloween theme bib.
I also have a fleece blanket to finish for my grand daughter and a few of those little baby softy blankets with the ribbons on the sides.
Hopefully tomorrow I will find my part and I can sew while watching/listening to the football game!
What are you sewing this week?

Great Day
This has been a supper great day!
I was able to get the two oldest grand's off to school on time! All with happy similes and the great joy they seemed to have in showing their friends their youngest cousin .
Then it was time for play! She loves to play games on my Kindle. I have found many for free that she enjoys and most with pleasant music.
Then it was time to pick up around the house and get the dishes in the dish washer.
After the necessary's were done we got out the quilting fabric and while I cut she played with the scraps all the while telling me what she was making and for whom.
Then it was lunch time a little bit of TV watching and a story before nap time. I was able to get three quilts cut and ready to sew when I am able to get back to my sewing machine. Soon she will be up and the older kids will be home from school and we will have a house full of excitement.(noise)
It is quite cool out for early October but the sun has come out after a morning of heavy rain and lighting and thunder! After snack time we will try to get a good walk and bike ride in. Hope the weather holds.

Fall is in the air!
I just love this time of year! The trees are turning brilliant red and gold and the green of the fir trees is looking so nice and fresh. Makes you want to make a quilt with those same colors.
One that comes to mind is Maple Leaf. I think that it could be considered a classic pattern. But what about a split nine patch or even a scrappy strip quilt. Think of sitting by the fire with a cozy long cabin in flannel! The possibilities are endless!
So even if you don't have time to start a quilt this fall put one on your "To Do' list for next year and start collecting some of the wonderful fabrics that are available this year.
This week I am helping with the grand kids and that will keep me busy for a good part of the week.
Then I will be finishing up the quilting on a cute Mother Goose quilt.
