ANOTHER FAST MOVING WEEK--

 I know we are thinking these days that all weeks are moving fast--So it is hard to know if one week moved faster than last week--But????

I did get some actual sewing done this week--

first-- I got the little coasters finished up-

the two in the tan's go to my daughter--the blue ones are mine--

And the big news is I am doing this weekly sew along--

I happened to see this on another bloggers site that I read--Little Penguin Quilts--as she is doing it too--my reasons for doing this one-

1. I liked that is smaller--though you can make it any size--

2. I like the different fabric squares in the background--

3. that yellow shouted to me--

4. it is applique and I was on the lookout for an applique project--

Now you can use any color for the orange peels--and I did consider and looked at other colors but for whatever reason--yellow was the loudest-- shouting out to me--

Now on Thursday my girlfriend, Cheryl and I was out and about and she took me up to the Quilt shop that is closing--I was shocked at how much she still had--the store is full yet of most everything--and fabric is everywhere--lots of it--only you have to buy it by the yard--at $12-16 dollars a yard with a 30% off--and I was surprised but nothing shouted my name--so I did pick out 4-5 fat quarters in yellows and left--!!!!!

Here is my background piece--that I sewed together yesterday--

I think we will start on the orange peels this week-this still needs the final pressing though

And I got the last row on Big Blue hand quilted--

I just have the border going around the quilt and that outer border to do something on--but am thinking I might do the binding next----or????????

Here is where I was this morning on the new counted stitching--

And, yes, I did do the word corn in gold--after I got my Easter cards ready for mailing I did have some time to add to this--

just needs another stem of cherries on top of the other stem and then move on down the letter's!!

I have been working on this embroidery project in the evenings too--

I had done some work on the watering can--but decided I did not like it--so--out it came!!  

will probably be working on this this afternoon while watching the race--

I did buy me some glass drinking glasses with lids--I just couldn't stand the 'taste' of the steel drinking cups--for some reason they do have a bad taste with the water in them--

really pretty aqua color with shiny silver decals on them--they came as a set of 2 with the bamboo lids and glass straw--got the set at Bealls--for $11.00--

I remembered this sleeve I had and it does keep the water colder longer by using it!!!

Some photos of my Easter things--in the top one--I had to add some stuffing to that little pillow--

I stitched these at least 10 years or more ago now--though the bowl they are in is only owned by me the last couple years--but it is an old dish--

and here is a collection of smalls I did from Melisa's designs--

and now the china cupboard--

found those 'chocolate' looking ( just plastic) rabbits at Walmart--they look so real like the real chocolate bunnies we buy!!!

And a new Easter item--from Publix trip--

wanted a rabbit with the green cabbage bowl--but haven't seen one--but --then you know how pink always gets my attention--soooo!!!!!

And I will end with some flower photos I took this week--

These are in the shopping plaza where I go to shop--they are soooo pretty there--

And these were outside a Cheddar's Restaurant where Cheryl and I ate lunch on Thrusday--

Did I ever tell you how much I love the color ---Pink?????

And I seen this house across the street from where I was 'interviewing' a new doctor!!

 I thought it really different in style--

HAVE SOME SEWING AND OUTING ADVENTURES THIS WEEK--AND WATCH THOSE CHOCOLATE RABBITS--THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!

HUGS, DI
