Weekend Away in NH

Walking on the beach in NH

Best friends. We met 40 years ago as newly weds

This wedding quilt finally gets delivered; at least to the mother of the bride, Taryn gets it next weekend :0).

Friends for 40 years :0). Now we're grandparents together.

I love to walk on the beach anytime.

Zigzag quilt...is it done?

Just when I think this quilt is done I keep thinking it is asking for something more

I added another row of blocks in each direction

I put in some brighter colors

I keep looking at it...........is it done?  What are you trying to tell me zigzag quilt?

Dump and sew

Beth has a challenge, on her blog, to make a quilt by dumping out a pile of scraps and sew them together.
Check out the linky party over at Beth's of the dump and sew quilts.....some are amazing!

I used some small scraps too. Don't over think it just grab a scrap and sew.

I started with this pile of scraps that I won from Randy and made the small quilt, it's going to sit for a while before I decide how to finish it.  Any ideas?  Add a border?


 Can I get a whoop whoop for my efforts?  I'm gonna try by posting this quilt over at Sarah's :0) come on over and link up. Happy Sewing to you all while I'm away with Gwen Marston at her Beaver Island quilt retreat.

Zigzag quilt revisit

I decided not to add a border to this quilt but to add another row in each directions with some brighter blocks to break up the muddiness of these scraps.  Stay tuned :0).  Happy sewing, Kim

I'm linking up with Judy to show my progress, stop by and see all the other beautiful quilts.

Just takes 2 block #55

 I appliqued this block instead of piecing it so I could do it in the car, now I'm going to link up and see if I can get a Whoop Whoop.  Happy sewing, Kim

Friendship

Have you met a special friend online from your quilting community?  I've met many but none as sweet at my friend POKEY :0).  I think she looked me up years ago because we both have POKEY in our blog names, but ever since then we have been emailing and blog visiting nearly every week.
Yesterday I received a surprise quilty gift!  Now how did she get so much love in one little box?
Thank you so much Pokey for making my day and sending all these terrific treats. 

Now how is this for a nice surprise?

beautiful charm squares  from the " Friendship" collection

Look at this adorable chicken pincushion complete with button eyes from her moms button box.

And some great pieces of red to use in my 6 inch blocks!

WIP Wednesday 9-5-2012

This would be a fun medallion quilt

bits and pieces on my design wall

I feel another zigzag quilt coming on!

I'm spending too much time watching tennis on TV with the US Open  being played in NYC, but at least I am doing some sewing :0)  while watching.   I'm going to show my works in progress over at WIP Wednesday.

Happy Sewing, Kim
