Small Quilt

Today I finished the last border on this lapsize quilt. The middle panel is a preprinted one. I just added some borders to it. This will probably be used in the car once it is quilted and binding on it.

Small Truck

I have been wanting Lionel to get a small truck for some time now. We finally got one. I just wanted one that I could drive with ease. We got a 2003Toyota Tacoma. I just love it, and think Lionel does also! Of course we can't haul anything that is to long but I have seen so many times I wanted to haul something and didn't want to try to squeaze it into the trunk of the car. I wanted a black truck and Lionel wanted one with a seat for grandkids, so we both got mostly what we wanted.He would rather have Ford, Cheverolet or GMC, American made. Toyota is made in US now but I am sure American made have some foreign made parts. I don't know of much that is 100%. As I was taking this picture a Blazer came behind him and he had to pull out really fast. He squalled the tires. Just not use to a V6. LOL Well his work truck is but it will take a little time for me to get use to some power. LOL

Two Lapsize for Barb

Haven't been keeping up with blogging lately. I have been working on the binding for the double wedding ring. It takes a while to get the binding done on them. Just finished quilting two lapsize for Barb Cassidy. Both of them are alike except for the backings.

I did forget that I made a Drunkard's Path block to see how it would look with the yellow. I am not sure I like it. I think I will try a white background before making anymore. What is some of your opinions?

Ann's Lapsize

Well, I did it. I quilted Ann's Lapsize tonight. I don't know the name of either of her quilts. I only know that this one is a sampler. They are so soft. She had already washed her backing and they feel so good.

Two More Completed

It's been a while since my last blog. I don't seem to get as much done any more. I always like to have a picture when I blog. I do see that I missed blogging about our Annual Homemakers Meeting on Tuesday. I finished the Double Wedding Ring for Alma the first of the week except trimming around it. Now comes the hard job, the binding. It's really not that hard but takes some time to complete. The second quilt is a twin size for Ann. It was fairly easy and I completed it today. I now have a lapsize of her's to put on the frame but don't know if I will get to that tonight or not. Been out mowing grass after supper and a nap.

Monday's Meetings

Monday I had two meetings to attend, Lawrence County Quilted Treasures Quilt Guild in AM and Dennis Green Valley Homemakers last meeting till September. We were privileged to have a speaker at our Quilt Guild Meeting, which was Michelle Hill, owner of WV Quilts in Barboursville, WV. Michelle showed us her technique of chenille.

Dennis Green Valley Homemakers, which I am a member, had their last meeting before September. We don't have meetings in the summer months cause everyone is to busy with other things, vacation, cutting grass, gardening, etc. We went to Kentucky Roots, which is aproximately 12 miles from Louisa. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Kitty and I took some pictures while there.
