Softball and 9 Patches.....

This was our last weekend of softball. I have to admit for all the games we play and all the time we put into the sport; I am always sad when it is over.

However, have no fear tryouts for next year are August 8 and 9th!!
I did get one thing done this weekend, I made my July 9 Patch Blocks for

Christine’s 9 Patch Swap.

Happy Monday and Sewing!!

Saturday Spooktacular Spotlight…

Here it is…

My First Saturday Spooktacular Spotlight…

This is how it will work.
I will not post names and I will not mark the side-bar as I receive blocks.
If you want to know who made the block, click the picture and you will be magically transported to their blog. If they have no blog; no magic carpet ride!

If you DO NOT want to know and would like to be surprised, curb your urge and DO NOT click the pictures.

Some of you ladies did not follow the rules and sent me a goodie, not necessary, but of course I am very grateful. I have emailed a thank you to you girls, but I am not going to post the item, for we know some people very well and that would let you know who made the blocks.

I know all your tricks!!

SO...
To make a long story short… What too late?? Sorry!!

Your choice, mystery or not!!

This is very hard for me as I want to comment on each block, but all I will say is…….
Let the fun begin!!!!

Aren't these amazing!!!!!!!

Pago Pago..... and a Bloggy Win

Barb from Bejeweled Quilts By Barb, lives in American Samoa, Pago Pago.

Barb has an Artfire Shop and these are the fabrics I purchased. I am afraid my picture cannot do justice to the rich colors of theses fabrics.
Just stunning!! Take a peek and see what you can find, you will be glad you did!!

Also, a blog win. I was one of the lucky winners of Sherri’s giveaway from A Quilting Life. Look at what I won!!
A Sweet Treat Bag made from Wonderland by Moda
Now how wonderful in this!!

It is the perfect size to carry in my purse.
I think I am going to put all my essentials in there, you know the things that end up at the bottom of your purse. Such as, my chap stick, my hand lotion, little mirror, my Advil, gum, pen, paper, all the things I have to search for will now all be in one place.
Now that is a “Sweet Treat”!!
Look inside, see how large and roomy.

Perfect stitching and even a covered button and Velcro closing.

Thank you so very much Sherri, I just love it and all the time you put into making this “Sweet Treat” of a bag!!

Summer and Quilting....

Summer in our house means SOFTBALL it is a concentrated 6-8 week period. I just adore softball!! The girls are darling, the parents are great and the games are wonderful. We spend just about our whole weekends on “the field”. When we are not there, we are with little T and my other daughter. Summer is such a family time. No schedules to follow, stay up late, sleep in late, play, play and play.
Quilting how does that fit in?
Why that is how I play!!
Right now, I am hand quilting a quilt for one of my nieces, which I will show when I am done. I am keeping up with my multitude of swaps. I am blog hopping and reading. Oh yes, I am buying fabric too.
I cannot seem to get enough of Katie Jumps Rope! I think I can now make a King size Disappearing 9 Patch!! A little Mickey Mouse for T and some vehicles I might use for his wall hanging.


Then I could not pass theses up, love the little shelf of jars!!


My YD made a very small flannel quilt for Little T. He is now at the stage where everything goes right into his mouth, he especially likes burp cloths!! She made this is a few hours and was so excited to give it to him. Cute and bright.



Hope you are having a fun summer too!
