Wow,

I've been such a bad blogger. It's really hard to believe that summer is ending already and I never wrote a thing about it! The family had a great time......

We went to concerts:

28 so far actually, so I won't bore you with ALL the pictures!

I do think we've run out of bands we want to see, or haven't already seen, for a little while so I guess it's time for fall?

My daughter came home from Florida for two weeks. We went to the coast and to SilverCreek Falls and Downtown Portland. Then there was the Gretchen Wilson concert after the Bull Riding and Barrel Racing in Molalla with all of her friends and family (it's her hometown).

And in between all that, I did manage to get some quilting done!

This one is done in red and aqua with the tiniest bit of black with white polka dots. I ran out of white and realized how hard it is to match white, so I used the little bit of pink in the outer border.

Originally I was going to use the black and white floral for the backing, but just as one large piece. My son thought I should piece in some of the colors from the front, so here's what I ended up with. Almost like it better than the front...almost.

I've got a lot more catching up to do, but I'll save that for later!

Rose Room Quilts has a GIveAway!

This is a great one! Rose Room Quilts is hosting a giveaway of a fat quarter bundle of Daisy Doodle fabric in honor of the opening of their new Etsy shop. Head on over and check them out, the giveaway fabric really should be mine, but if not me, it should at least be you!

I just love the colors and the polka dots! The lime, turquoise and grey make such a cool combination.

Another GIveAway you can not miss!

Oh my, you can enter another give-away for the AccuQuilt Go! over at a la mode fabric. How lucky can we get? Go check out her site, she's got some great tutorials, leave her a comment and maybe you'll get lucky!

A fun give-away!

Head over to FreckledWhimsy for the chance to win an Accuquilt Go! This looks like such a handy tool/toy to have. The giveaway ends tomorrow so hurry!

Done!

My modern Hexagon quilt is done! As usual, if you keep going on something that you're not sure you like, you're bound to fall in love with it eventually. Now I love it. I think it turned out a little manly, except the backing maybe, since it's black/white floral. But my son thought the backing was perfect, so I think it's still masculine.
I just did an allover swirled design on the quilting and really like how it turned out!

Since I have about ten more tops to get quilted, I'm going to let this one go in my shop, so head on over here to check make this one yours!

Yummy!

Oh, my....

A little eye candy that came from Ruby Janes Retro Fabric, they had a

12 hour 1/2 off everything sale. Ummm, I really don't see how I could pass up 1/2 off! And yes, I bought more than I might have just to get the free shipping, but did I mention that it was ALL 1/2 OFF ?

So, yes, there's more.....

Now I need to go fold it all nice and pretty (after I fondle and drool over everything!) and then I will take some new photos that actually show off whats here! Happy me!

I love surprises!

Went to the post office today and this bunch of goodies was waiting for me.

My Moms the best! She found these old quilt magazines for me with some really cute stuff in it and sent along this fabric too. Can't believe that it's apples because I was already thinking that her new house should be apples instead of sunflowers like her kitchen in Arizona. Guess great minds really do think alike.

I'm pretty sure that she will need to have a plastic bag holder and some hot pads to match. Most likely she would like some placemats too.....hmmmmmm, so much sewing to be done.

Better go.....
