Another Blanket for Elly - FMQ for September

 

What a mess!  I didn't even pull all the paper off.  This skill is beyond me.  I also couldn't figure out how to do this without going over the same lines again and again.

Which I guess doesn't matter because I couldn't keep my lines steady anyway.

 

 

Elly loves all my scrap sewing.  It goes directly in her bed.  Of course, most of the time she's on Big Mick's lap.

Sew Spooky and Applique Thursday

 

I added the last border and had about an inch strip left of this fabric.  That's too close for comfort to me..Phew!

 

Go to Angie's and see some more eye candy.

 

 

Sewww Spooky Flimsy and my Official Inspector.

 

Wow I hope this passes inspection.  Elly is a hard taskmaster...:/

There is still another border, but I'm not sure I have enough fabric.  I'll have to decide if I'll add it or not.  But not today.  This has worn me out!!  I'm taking the rest of the day off!

 

Here's some Linkys for this week.

 

 

 

 

 

If I make any more progress, I'll be back Thursday.

 

Break Time!

 

Maybe I'll go watch Somewhere in Time again...:))

 

 

I love this movie!

 

 

 

Bats in the Attic on Applique Thursday

 

Still trying to catch all the Bats!

 

I feel like I'm being stared at..............yikes!

 

Elly's too busy with her new friend to help with the bats.  They have been meeting for the last three days in the window....too cute!

 

 

 

Go see Angie at Applique Thursday

 

 

 

To read some wonderful news.....

Go and visit Susan's post on "Standing on the Promises."  Her blog is Life on the Bayou .  Her strong faith has encouraged so many of us.  Go give her a shout out for her good news.

It's a Batty Monday!

 

Boy this is going to take a while to do 14 bats, 4 big stars, and 10 little ones.

 

 

I feel a little batty and I think I'm being stalked...

 

 

I'm looking at you!

 

 

Look at my mess!  It doesn't have to be cleaned up until Christmas.....:)

Some linkys for the week.  Hope to be back on Thursday with some progress.

Just wanted to share this with you guys and gals.  I'll be following, but not sewing.

I'm too overloading and under the weather.

 

Applique Thursday, Sew Spooky, and my Sweet Kitty Elly

 

Hoping to work on my Bat Border sometime today.

 

 

...and cuddle with Sweet Elly.

 

 

 

 

Edited to add Angie's Button.....sorry.

Intrepid Thread and Traceyjay Quilts are sponsoring a QAL for Charity.

Sew Spooky and First Border

First border and one to go.  The next one has 14 bats and a bunch of stars.

My back got tried dragging this from the sewing room to the pool room to lay it out, but I'm sure I burned at least 10 calories.

 

Sorry, Mick made me crop out his good looking legs...giggle.

 

Here are this weeks linkys.  I'm not sure when I'll get to sew again, I have company coming tomorrow.

My cousin and her husband will be here.  She is bringing a line dancing DVD.  Little does she know I can barely walk now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone have a Blessed Week!

 

 

Applique Thursday and Bunny Hill Snowbound

 

Blocks are together.  I need the red border.

 

 

Without Angie's Applique Thursday, I wouldn't have made it this far.  Thanks Angie for the push.

 

Sashing is finished and WIP Wednesday

Sashing is finished with only a couple of inches left of the fabric.  That was cutting it close.  It really is square (I hope).  My sewing room is small and full, so I had to take it from an angle.

 

The next border is candy corn.  Think I'll eat some for the occasion.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is WIP Wednesday

 

 

Sew Spooky Witchy Tuesday and Linky Party

 

Sew Spooky Small blocks

 

My main blocks are finished!  I still have plenty more to go....Pheww  Lots of bats, stars, and candy corn.  Hmmmmm......some candy corn would taste great about right now...:)

 

 

 

Float down the Freemotion River with Connie.  Just click on the Linky Tuesday button.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and didn't labor too hard.
