Design Wall Monday January 29th, 2018

My last Design Wall post for January of this year. Still not sure where the month has disappeared too quite so fast!  Today I am checking in from South Padre Island. We have been here since last Monday evening. Made several stops on the way here at more birding spots. And since I usually stay with the girls in the car ( can't walk them in some parks ) I had a small quilt with me that I could work on.


                             My third Arkansas Road scrap quilt is bound


Also finished the binding on Candy Land. Tiki was not overly helpful


So then I took the quilt outside and put it on the balcony railing



One day I did manage to put the blocks together for my Stay Centered Quilt top. It was a fun one to make and more stash was used





                                                         then it was back to binding

                                                          Starry Night is finished


And I am working on the last one I brought along. I know there is a picture some where??? Next week will post a picture of the completed quilt! It is my Shuffle Quilt.

My husband has some been able to get some great pictures on this trip of birds. The weather has been really hard on the butterflies and dragonflies. That will be another trip. We also went to the Rio Grande Valley Quilt show again this year. Some great quilts. As I have time I will be uploading to several blog posts. Will not put all 100+ pictures in one!




Back to quilt eye candy!

  April 1 2025 And a month later I’m doing a blog post! March was a strange month.  The Weather was crazy- cold days, warm days. Days where you didn’t want to be out much. Smoke from the wildfires west of us,  not to mention the dust being driven to us by strong winds. And very little rain.  Our total so far for the first 3 months.  3.77 inches.  We got .6 while towns along the coast got 14 to 20 this past week. Galen wasn’t able to get out much but he did get a few pictures. He went down to our small lake one afternoon looking for Dragonflies.   While there an Eagle flew in fairly close.  He thought he had seen one a few weeks earlier but it was flying away so he wasn’t able to get any pictures.  This time he did. Eagle at Forest Creek Several times we had Cedar Waxwings in the yard feeding on our Yupon Holly bushes.   They really go after the berries. Galen managed to get one picture with them at the birdbath.  Just befo...

  Design Wall Monday I hope everyone enjoying the Memorial Day holiday remembers why we celebrate this day.. Last week ended up being busier than planned. But I was able to work more on my blocks. This may end up being a table square or a table runner. Played a little bit the blocks. Not sewn together just playing with layout. I have more HSTs  made. And some others ready to be made into blocks. Didn’t get to meet up with Osie last week.  Hopefully we can get together later this week. And needo get busy on more doggie bandanas. Plan to spend lots of time bonding with my machine!!   poodlegirls     Daily Happenings ,  General Sewing ,  Life at home ,  Quilting ,  Uncategorized   Leave a comment     May 26, 2025   1 Minute

  Mother’s Day 2025 First off Happy Mother’s Day.  Being a dog Mom Lady wished me a happy day. Not sure what made me think of this. Many years ago- mid to late 50’s into early 60’s we almost always spent Mother’s Day by going shad fishing! We would get up early in the morning,  Mom would pack a lunch, load up Dad’s aluminum boat on to the car top carriers and we would drive to Port Deposit, MD.  Spend the day on the water fishing on the Susquehana River.  Sometimes we caught shad, sometimes not. Mom was always very careful when she fileted them- very boney.  I had not thought about that in a very long time. We were lucky and had rain earlier this week. Up to 6.66 inches for the year.   Get to keep the irrigation system off for another week. Galen was out last Sunday with a friend.   They went to an are near San Antonio.  He did get some nice pictures.  Comanche Skimmer.       Golden Cheek Warbler P...
