PICTURE SHOW TONIGHT!!!!

OKay--I did it--
actually got into the sewing room today--
for two whole hours--but not at the same time--
but here is some finishes--sort of anyways--
Oh Miss Gracie--I was just getting ready to show todays sewing!!
Oh--you want to say something "first"--
well--seeing as how you have the floor--go for it!!!
HI---to all my fans,
thanks for all the neat things you say to my mom about "me"--
I love reading all about them!!!
and I too am fluffy--(only mom has but me on a diet!!!!)
she can be a 'meany' when she wants to be!!!
but she says it's because she 'loves' me--
Hugs, miss gracie

Ok lets try this again--
remember when I first started the home sweet home bom and I did the first 'h' block in a brownish/green thread???  well I decided not to let it go to 'waste' and so am making a second quilt--this one I am using the little 1 1/2 inch leftover strips from  a bigger quilt that I did last year--good for me--right????

and I got the borders on this months TTS blocks--
I am really have fun stitching these blocks!!!

And--looky here---
My first --Mug Rug--don't faint--now--I told you one of these days I would get one made!!!!!  and here is a look at the back--
I made it reversible!!!!  how good of me!!!
Now though I have 3 more to stitch together--
and a set of small rabbit placemats!!!

Found these mini Iris's on our walk today--
lil sister and I went over town to do a couple things--
At the quilt shop I got the tea cup fabric for the backs of the mug rugs--
and a large package of all cotton batting for a quilt--and---
this is an older book--and was at 60% off--so was around $10--
but it really has alot of different types of quilts in it and they are more my style of quilting designs--soooooo!!!
And talking about flowers --
I bought some home today tooo--
I hope--noticed I said "hope" to do some spring/Easter decorating tomorrow--
and I thought these from the Country shop would be nice additions!!!
I hope my 'green thumb' is working so these don't fade or die on me!!!!!!!
And I leave you today with a picture of some flowers that are out under one of our trees here --
