dinosaurs

I stitched up a few dinosaurs today. I used the same green fabric for each, but added some white fabric paint to lighten the green.
The black out line is a black fabric pin.

They are machine appliqued on.

I used a dinosaur coloring book for the patterns. I really like how they are turning out so far. I still need to put them together and add them to the quilt top.

They are going to be used in the row robin I am working on

I am working on my row robin..

it's coming along slowly. I didn't do the embroidery work in this picture. These wonderful red work embroideries came with the fabric to use in the row.

My creative space....

I picked out fabric for my new project I am starting. The fabric is lying on my cutting table so I can just stare at it. I told you about my newest project in my last post..... "A Boy's Story".

I started the first stitchery for it. " Geronimo".

Today I work a tiny bit on my next row for my row robin. This is paper piecing, but this is all I can show you.

Sick baby this week.

My sweet baby boy has pneumonia and a double ear infection. So I have been stuck at home since Tuesday, ( Except for the outing to the doctor's office, the imaging center for x-rays, and the pharmacy for medication) But I have gotten some sewing done.

I finished another one of my "hoop up" embroidery's. This one is for Ryan, who's theme is owls. Can you tell? :o) The pattern is from a coloring page. I did change it a little. He looks a little ''Dr. Seuss' to me, but I love Dr. Seuss.

I stitched up a block for my sewconnected 3 group. Gretchen wants to make an Amish quilt. This block is called the 'Amish Diamond' so I thought is would be perfect.

And I finally finish my row for my row robin. The rows are turning out to be scrappy Autumn. So I did a scrappy star Autumn sky. The stars I made by using Thangles.

Have a great rest on the week. Going to go take care of my little guy now.

My new knitted bus.

I have made the sweetest on-line blogging and flickr friends. One of them is Rebekah or Beetastic. I have been in a couple tea towel tours with her. She knits too. Look what she has knitted for me... our bus. Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen.

It has a little surf board on top. The tires look flat ,but they aren't. They are just squished right now. Rebekah took a picture of our bus and copied the colors.

Here is our bus. I just can't get over how cute it is and how sweet Rebekah is.

And here is what I have been working on this week...... scrappy stars, for my row robin.

sewing up stars

I've just been sewing up some "Thangles". Tiny ones, to make stars. I am working on my next row in the 'row robin' I am in.

And chain stitching. :o)

surgery and progress

My baby boy had his tonsiles and adnoids out and tubes put in his ears Monday. He is doing great.

Progress is.... I finished my 1st block .... in the BOM I am doing.

Here is the progress on my "shop" challange quilt. The black sashing it lying there so I can just see what it will look like.

And here is my row robin so far.... I think I am done with it for now.

teacher appreciation week.

This week is teacher appreciation week at school. Today Jonah picked a beautiful daisy flower out of our yard to give Miss Ward, his wonderful teacher.
Here is a sneak peak of my row robin. (sorry , my brain is just kaput) I don't know if I have mentioned my row robin yet or not. The quilt group I am in is having a row robin. We are starting this month.
So I need "my" row done my the end of May. Actually the last Monday in May. Does it look like grass and sky? I am going to go with a camping theme. Go figure, hahaha.
