Hello World!

The Star Surround is DONE! Woo hoo! The back is just as fun as the front. I am loving it and Hubby loves it too! Thank you again to Melissa Corry at happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot.com. I had so much fun. My Mom wants one now!

I am onto other quilts now - thanks Chantae at Wood N Grommet! Just what I need, another hobby :)

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Keep smiling!

Star Surround Layers

Hello World! Today is Friday 9/13/13 - good thing I am NOT superstitious :)

I wanted to attach some new pictures of the Star Surround layering. I just want to say it is a very good thing we have a large living room. It also helps it isn't used too much.

Hubby had to help with laying and smoothing everything out. We were watching Duck Dynasty too! Love that show! 

Now I am quilting the layers together on my sewing machine. It is not easy getting a 109" square through my machine. Lots of tugging, pulling, spinning, and of course grunting. But to be honest, I make more noises when Hubby is around - maybe he will get the hint for a bigger throated/neck machined?!

I am trying to get this finished for Melissa Corry's picture parade of Star Surround Quilts. Check it out at happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot.com

I have had so much fun with the quilt along - thank you Melissa! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday the 13th! Enjoy! And remember to smile. Make them wonder what you are up to!!!

Star Surround Finished Top

Hello World!

I know it has been a while. Hubby and I moved my sewing room downstairs so I am more spread out, sorta. Loving it! Max is still unsure, but he will get used to it. I think he doesn't like going up and down the stairs.

I have finished the Star Surround Quilt a Long top. It is huge! As I said before, I knew but didn't know how big this was going to be. I LOVE IT!! I love the colors - thank you hubby! It was fun to put together and quite easy. Now I am doing the backing. Sometimes I think the backing can be more difficult than the front. I don't want the back to be "boring"! Boring just isn't me :)

See, the back CAN'T be boring. No way! I will post pictures as I get my thoughts in line.

I have finished another quilt - 1 of my work in progress quilts. How is this for boring?!

This isn't me at all. I haven't take a pic of the FULL quilt. Better use your sunglasses. The back is a slight reflection of the front. I had fun with this one!

I hope you have enjoyed my new pictures. See ya soon!

Remember, smile! You are making someone's day.
