Mother's Day

Hoping everyone had a wonderfully blessed Mother's Day.

I know I did.  Wishing my Mom a Very Happy Mother's Day.

And hoping she is still enjoying her flowers:)

Speaking of flowers...these are the ones I received from my oldest daughter.

So very pretty.  And daisies are my most favorite flower of all :)

Thank you so much Ang.

I also received a beautiful bracelet from my youngest daughter,

and lovely cards from some of my other children.  They all always pick out the sweetest cards.

And as I type this post my youngest son is turning over my veggie garden for me...tilling

that garden spot is a HUGE job, so I very much appreciate that.

My sweetheart of a husband took me to buy my fourth and final parakeet.

(Well I think it is my last one...hehehehe)

So without further delay I wish to introduce Indigo....

Isn't he pretty???

Now I have all the colors I was hoping for.

So here is my complete parakeet family...

Happy May.

Blessings to All

Hugs,

Terry

More Quilting...

These are my March & April BOMs from the new group I belong to.

My sister-in-law started the group called Quilts and Crafts For All.

I will be doing all my blocks in the blues and yellows

with a little bit of green here and there.

 These little basket blocks are for the Spring Basket Swap over
at the Dear Jane Alternate Group.  I will very soon post a
picture of all the baskets I receive :)

Well this all my quilt block news for now.  My crafting will be slowing down some, since it is time to get the garden in and I have BIG plans for lots of work inside the house this Spring & Summer.  Maybe I will do some before and after pics :)


Hugs,
Terry

Doll Quilts, Mug Rugs, Wall Hangings, Gift Sets

 Here is the little doll quilt I made

for the March swap at Doll Quilter's Monthly.

The March theme was animals.

                                                       Close up of the embroidery work.

                                                           Haven't done any for a while.

                                                            I forgot how much I like it :)

                                                    This is the doll quilt for the April Swap.

                                       We were celebrating the group's Birthday with this swap.

                                                I made these little mug rugs for my sister-in-law.

                                              We swap mug rugs each month.  Lots of Fun!!!

                                              This was a wall hanging I made for a swap.

                                                The lady I made it for likes red & white.

                                              So I used her colors and my favorite blocks.

These are a couple of gift sets I made for a Kitchen Swap

at the Country Scents Snail Mail Group I belong to.

I appliqued the pictures on the towels, added a little decorative stitching

and made the recipe cards.

The dish cloths were made by dear my sister-in-law:)

Happy Stitching to All,

Terry

A day hemmed in prayer, never ravels!

April Card Making

These are the cards I made for swaps for the month of April.



Had great fun with these.  The challenges from the SSSD group

 really help to get me to think outside of my comfort zone.

And now to focus on the wedding invitations for my son's wedding :)

Hugs & Blessings,

Terry

2013 Row by Row Quilt Robin

It's that time of the year again...

Yes, time for the Row by Row quilts.

Last year was so much fun and I really love my

Northwestern quilt rows.  I love them so much that

I joined in on not 1 but 2 Row by Rows this year!!!

The first theme is "My Sewing Room"

Here is my starter row, I can't wait to see

what rows the ladies add to this one :)

Every sewing room has to have a sewing basket...

And of course the good old tomato pin cushion.

 Churn Dash, my favorite quilt block :)

The second theme is "Anything To Do With Spring"

After the long cold & snowy winter we had

I am ready for Spring!!!!

                 Bees, Hives, Flowers, and Kites...
                           Definitely Spring!!!!!

Now to wait and see what Spring brings to mind in the other ladies???
