Tie Dye Event At Family Reunion

 My Daughter Tammy and her daughter Kayla wanted us to do a Tie Dye Project on Sat after the dinner and a cooling off swim while we were at the reunion. so we did this kind of late but it turned out really good.

 

        This is how we wanted to do it , everyone had their own way of doing it with the colors they wanted

This one and the last one was rinsed too early so some of the colors run ,have to remember to let dry completely ,I think I will iron mine just to set the colors .

A couple of them Sam and I did after we got home.

Queen Of The NIght

 This plant had 2 blooms but one fell off ,this one bloomed the night my daughter Tammy arrived from Mich.The bloom has since fell off and now there is a new one forming might be ready in 2 or 3 days.

New Baby Quilts To Finish

 Got this top sewn up Friday, I love the print with Turtles, Frogs, Lizards ,Grasshoppers ans etc. Will be trimed with the same brown for binding.

 Butterflies and Dragon Flies Top ready for batting and Backing , Have had this fabric around for a long time has been used for 3 different little girls .

 Another jungle print top ready , I used the dark purple like the dark purple squares for sashing ,  not the blue or light purple .I put all 3 of them together the same day.

 A different pattern with same fabric as first quilt , I still need to press all 4 of these new tops and get them ready for Batting and Backing then I can quilt them. This one still needs to be sewn together.

Mug Rugs For Mother Day Finished and Delivered

I think I posted about this 2 monthas ago , I took them home , added the batting and back to them and machine quilted about 22 of them, I do not have a photo of all.

Then I put the binding on and machine stitched a fancy stitch on each one .

On Mothers day they all gave out a mug rug to all the Ladies at church .

This one of the purple a teal Butterfly my Sarah made it for a friend of mine's friend that has stage 4 cancer.
We sent that and a card her sister made to him.2 weeks ago,Hope it cheered him up.

All the rugs were done with either Fabric markers, fabric crayons or paint , some used a stamp.

Spring Has Sprung Into Summer !

My Beautiful Yellow Rose and the prettiest one yet!

   

My Almost Black Rose is still as Red as can be .

 Rose of Sharon that my sister Tina rooted for me 3 years ago finally had 3 blooms at the same time .

I love the Kalanchoe ,I could not resit the white !

 I think this is Honeysuckle but a friend said it was Jasime either one is ok as it smells so good! It is now covering the fence between our house hope it gets bigger this year.

 Another new Kalanchoe but a gold color this time , I saw some bright orange from the distance at Walmart hope they still have some .

 I am not even sure I have a name for this plant , it wants to spread all over but it sure does have pretty blooms when it is blooming .

 A Begonia plant one of many kinds

                             My Crown Of  Thorns is getting pretty big this year.

 These are just a few of the new flowers and plants that have come back and some new from Lowes  . I have worked out side every morning for 3 or 4 days , but it has been raining since yesterday, so nothing got done today, Still so much more to do and cleaning out areas for new flowers and the repotted plants .
We have had pretty nice days for a month and now all of a sudden it has been getting HOT! except for today it is lots cooler with the rain.
I hate to see how our summer is going to be as I have a hard time dealing with the heat over 75 degrees.
 In the afternoons I have been quilting another Baby quilt for an order ,plus some mug rugs for the children at church to give away for Mother's Day. I will be showing those later.

Baby Quilts ~ 2 More Great Grandson's

 I made this while at Mom's for the Spring Break with the kids .This was made for my Grandson and his wife.
Baby is due May 7th .

She really likes it !   

This one was a panel that I machine quilted for Sherry's baby boy due in June.

It was a surprise Shower for her as she lives in Indiana and came down to visit for Easter. Her sister Cheyenne planned the surprise shower for her.

 Cake that Chy made for Sherry,  another little boy messed it up when he put the huge baby bottle on top of it,

Sherry with her 2 older children Cayden and Amylia  , I did not get a good  picture of Sherry with quilt,hoping to get one of her soon.

New Quilt for Brandy

                            This is another quilt Mom has started for Brandy, my sister Tina picked the boarder and got the colors from that for the rest of the quilt, I love the pattern and the colors. Brandy and I like some of the same fabric colors, so I know she will like this!
 I think a purple binding will set it off good. Mom still has more to sew up and then she will hand quilt it .
