Block 2

Well, I'm still having some trouble with Blogger but oh well! Not a lot going on here today, took 3 naps and sewed ONE block!!! Hehehehe! This is my Block 2 of Thread Head's Quilt Along. I need to make 2 of these blocks but as of right now only one of them is done. My points are not perfect but at least it is done.



Here are the other two blocks that I did several days ago. They are the first blocks. I showed them earlier but that post is still missing. :(

Here is my little Hunny Bun! Hunter busying doing his homework!
Now off to do some leg stretches!! :( Richard is home now so he makes me do them!!!!

House Update!

Anyone else having problems with Blogger? I am having trouble posting and loading photos and have lost several past posts. Sure hope they are not completely gone. :(

Anyway....here is an update on the house. My sister calls me from work earlier and said "you don't have your house photos on your blog" So here they are...

This is the front view. The porch and porch post are not stained yet but the siding and trim on the front are done. Richard got that done a few days ago.
Here is the front door. Yep, it is not finished yet! Still has the paint and primer both on it. Too windy to finish the painting right now, the paint was drying before it could be spread. He also go the lights hung too. Not too bad considering this door was FREE! Some friends of ours were changing their front door a couple of years ago and we took their old one. It just needed to be sanded and repainted.

Up close photo of the light and siding. Still have the paper on the door windows until the painting is finished.
It is getting a little closer to being finished. A little at a time...

Waiting for the big storm to hit here in a little while. The wind is horrible right now but will be getting worse.

Richard has classes tonight, so it will just be me and the boys! Hunter and I will be stuffing his treat bags for his Halloween party at school.

Civil War Log Cabin Quilt

I finally got Richard to take some photos for me. He had to take it out to the new house to hang it up because there is not room in here. It measures 90x90 and is pieced in MOSTLY Civil War Reproduction fabrics. A lot of the tans are not Civil War fabric, I just used what I had and thought would blend together. The coloring is still off in the photo but at least you can get an idea of it.
I paper-pieced all of the blocks, it is easier for me to do them that way and at least I also know that they all come out the same size.

I tried several different setting but finally settled on this one. I pieced this quilt to hang from the upstairs balcony if we ever get moved in our other house.

So mom took it in for the September Art Contest during September Fest. I was shocked to find out that it won first place in the Machine Pieced category. This took place at The Painted Cow Gallery. I was not able to make it for the photo but my name is listed on the list of winners. You can click on the links to check them out, they also have some beautiful artwork for sale.
Richard took me in for my physical therapy this morning. Not too bad today, he just wanted to check out my strength and movement. Wants me to go back and see my doctor again for possible MRI and some other stuff. So it is just the same old thing there. Haven't went walking yet, I was having a little extra pain the past few days and Mom is having some problems with migraines. She has a doctor's appointment for that Wednesday.
