My Dad was visiting Us this Past Weekend & of course I just Had to Stop at this Yard Sale. It was Late in the Afternoon & I really wasn't expecting to Find much. But Look what We Found..

Quilting Class vs. Baseball Game

I had to Miss this Weeks class! It was My DS Last baseball Game & I just Could Not miss it.

So, No new quilting pictures.

But, I am Very Proud to say My Son's team went 14-0

UNDEFEATED!!

It has been 10 years(at this park) since Any Team has went Undefeated!

I think that is an Amazing Accomplishment, Especially since they are 5-6yr olds.

He also was Chosen for the All Star Team! I am a Very Proud Mom!!

Estate Sale Treasures!!!

Look at these Wonderful items I found at an Estate Sale yesterday!

The Darling Woman these Treasures belonged to, Past in April of this year. She was 100!!!

Mrs.Moon's Family showed Me a picture that was taken of Her in November & She looked to be in Her 70's or 80's.

I was So Tickled to find such Wonderful Treasures!
11 Embroidered Pillow cases, 8 Embroidered table runners, 8 Embroidered doilies, 6 Crocheted doilies.

2 Full size Quilt tops, 10-15"square Quilt blocks, 8-10"square "bow tie" Quilt blocks, & a shoebox Full of little quilt pieces(some still have the 1951 paper on the pieces)

8-14"square Quilt blocks, 9-12"square Quilt blocks, 15 Flower blocks(with edging), 32 Flower blocks(without edging)

All Hand Sewn!

This cute little Vintage J.& P. Coats thread box has 2 little spools of thread, some little Hexagon quilt pieces & Mrs.Moon's template for the hexagons!

I am Not sure of what I will do with these Goodies. It would be Very Hard for me to part with them, just thinking of the Lovely Lady who Created them & surely Cherished them Too!

3rd Quilt Class

Our class is moving right along. This is what we Accomplished this week.

We had to Make 6 of these for Our Project. I think I mentioned that it Will Not be a Full size Quilt when it is Completed. It will Be more like a Throw or a Wall Hanging!

April BagLadies Swap

This is the Japanese Bag I made for my Partner simply sarah!

We had a choice of 4 different Patterns to use & simply sarah! chose this as Her favorite.

I stuffed the Little wing & feathers for an Extra cute touch!

The lining is the same Pink as the little wing & the Inside pocket is done in the Stripe fabric.

I also included the Handmade book mark & a few other Goodies.

Quilting Class Update!

Ok, I said I was going to Post My progress in My Quilting Class!

Actually I think I am doing pretty Good!

It is Definitely Harder than I thought it would be! Just Picking out my Fabric selection was quite Interesting!!

You Really have to Think about what You are doing. There are 5 of Us in the Class & for the Entire 3 hours we are there, We hardly Speak to each other. I thought We would be Laughing & Visiting! Ha-Not So!

And the Progress seems to Be so SLOW!

But All in All, I am having a Great Time & Hopefully after the 7th Class, I will know alittle about Quilting & have a Beautiful Wall Hanging! I hope to put it in My Sewing Room!

This is what We Accomplished on the 1st Night!

And I finished 3 out of Four of These "Bear Claw" Blocks on the 2nd Night of Class! I have to Finish 1 more before Tuesday!

I Love the Mail Man!

I Received not One, but Two Packages Today!

This Swapping thing is So much Fun!

This is from the "Girly Girl" Swap!

And- This Wonderful Knitted bag & Goodies is "From My Hand to Yours" Swap!

Yippeee! I Love CupCakes Swap Goodies!!!

I Received an Amazing Package from my Swap partner! She really Personalized this package just for Me!! The CupCake cookbook is All ready a Favorite! A Wonderful addition to My Collection!

And I am Thrilled with the Purse Pattern!! It is Exactly what I would have Chosen Myself!

All the other Goodies are Great Too! It just Totally Made My Day!!!

Dammit Doll Swap!

This is the Cute "Dammit Doll" I just Finished for My swap Partner!

I had never made one or even heard the Poem. It took me awhile to get Started but I really had Fun making the Doll-I added the Apron & the Jewelry!

The container turned out Very Pretty!!

Of course I threw in some Little extras-a Bookmark,some Cute Buttons, & some Yummy Tea bags for Her to enjoy!

Here is the Poem for those of You who have not Heard it!

When you want to climb the wall,

and stand right up & Shout.

Here's a little Dammit Doll

You can not do without.

Just grasp it Firmly by the Legs,

& find a Place to Slam it!

And as You Whack the stuffing Out,

Yell Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!

If Dammit's not a woud You use

then Twist its little neck

& Grumble out repeatedly

Oh Heck, Oh Heck, Oh Heck!

And once Your done abusing it

just sit it on a shelf.

But, Hug it first, as I'd Hug You

if I were there Myself!

(cute ;o) isn't it!)

April Japanese Bag Swap!

This was Mailed out Today to My Swap partner!

I Hope she Enjoys it! I really had Fun making it! I also made her a Matching bookmark & put a few other Little Goodies in the package!

Too Many Projects!

I have so much going on! Last night I Finally finished my Surprise for the "Dammit Doll" Swap! It really turned out Cute! I need to get it in the mail Today! Finding a box to put it in will be the Catch!

I am also Doing a Handmade Bookmark Swap. I made 3 Bookmarks yesterday for my 3 Partners. But, I am sending one of them with the Dammit Doll! I can't ever just send what is Expected, I Always add a few extra's!! ;o) So, I need to make 1 more Bookmark!

And Tonight is the First Night of Our Quilt Class! I also Need to get All of that Stuff ready to Go! I am really excited! But, I am Wondering where Quilting is going to Fit in with All of My other Projects?!
