In the works..........
Annie correctly guessed from my last blog post
which Bonnie Hunter quilt I was working on!
"Narragansett Blues" in browns!
This will be for my guest bedroom
here at the Quilt Cave.
My brown scraps were burgeoning,
so it was time to use some of them up!
Since this pattern uses some larger scraps,
it helped tame the brown bin down.
I love my new ironing board my dad made for me.
I still don't have the top covered, as I haven't found the
fabric I want it covered in. Old towels are working
nicely for now.....and I can press borders, and lengths
so much easier using this larger surface!
THANKS DAD!
Huffman's Hotties made an appearance at the
Flower Valley Quilt Guild when I visited them!
My friend Tea of Tea Quilts helped out.
These quilters were a blast to be around!
Thanks for the invite!
The Circle in the Square Quilt Guild Auction
was so much fun!
I LOVE auctions.......especially when it is a quilt auction!
If your guild is in need of an auctioneer,
feel free to contact me!
Two friends recently donated quilts to
Quilts of Valor, Eastern Missouri
through me.
This beautiful Log Cabin QOV is courtesy of
my blogging friend
Randy of Barrister's Block!
Thanks for this gorgeous QOV Randy!
This unique top is courtesy of Debbie who
brought it to me at the Flower Valley Quilt Guild meeting.
She utilized the ombre print in such a wonderful way!
I HAD to share!
I just love this idea!
A garden view!
Things are starting to pop up around here!
I would call this a complete success!
The chickens are enjoying this along with me!
MMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
There is nothing I love more than a
beautiful Caprese Salad during warm weather!
Purple Basil..........delicious AND pretty!
CHICKEN PIC!!!!
You all met Lex in an earlier post......
well.......
here is his main squeeze.......Marsha!
Marsha is an Amberlink hen.
The Amberlink is a hybrid chicken bred for
egg production. Marsha is cream with
hints of brown......and looks like a
toasted marshmallow.....thus her name!
She is a large breed hen and
lays a darker brown egg.
She has been a prolific layer.
She is very friendly, and
if I am not greeted by her and Lex when I walk
up to the coop, I know something is wrong!
Cousins Phyllis and Jerry came for a visit to my parents house!
It was wonderful spending some time with them.
My mom and dad love having company!
I was happy to help Cousin Phyllis out with
a chicken problem in one of her cross stitch projects!
LOLOLOL
The 2018 Spring Session of
Scrap Club hosted by Kevin the Quilter
final reveal was held last week!
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Wait until you see what these amazingly
talented quilters created!
(Photos are currently being edited.....
look for our final reveal quilt show in an upcoming post.)
2018 Summer Session begins June 28th!
Our make along project for Spring was
Fidget Quilts.
These are used in dementia care facilities
to help patients retain their day to day activities
and to help stimulate their minds. I made 2
Fidget Quilts to donate.......
This one focuses on the 4 seasons.
Zippers, bows to tie, things to move around.....
they all give a patient something to do....
and the seasons will help be a teaching tool
during therapy.
This one is more geared to a man.
Notice the fishing theme, and fishing lures.
Obviously, I took the hooks off of the lures.
There are buttons to fasten, as well as a zipper.
The Fidget Quilts were a lot of fun to create.
And I have been sewing a LOT during
my flying schedule.
Strings are so easy to take along for
hotel sewing.
Speaking of my job as a flight attendant........
Meet Shirley.........she is the reason I have my job!
18 years ago, I interviewed with this beautiful lady
in hopes of being hired as a flight attendant.
She left a lasting impression on me due to her
class, elegance, and her life experiences as a flight attendant.
Recently, I was able to be a fellow crewmember with her
on a 3 day trip all over the west coast.
I think it was really special working with the person
responsible for hiring me, and we had a wonderful
time catching up with one another.
Thanks for the memories Shirley!
And, this has become my life's mantra!
Thanks for all of the encouragement!
Keep on Quilting!
Kevin the Quilter
