Lots of sewing today.

Today I got 2 more blocks done on the "Dream Catcher".

It's this the cutest fabric?! There is a whole line of cute little creatures. Turtles, snails, monkeys, bugs, and frogs. I just had to pick some up and make something out of it .......so.....
I made my son, Jonah a pillowcase......
I finially got around to making another block in the "quilt along". This is #5. I am so far behind. Oh well.
Here are all 5 block together.
I did other sewing too that I didn't take pictures of. Busy, busy day. Love it.

one fish, two fish

I finished some fish for work. They are from Melly & me pattern. I am making another set for Jonah. They will be a little more fishy in color.
And I finially got to work on my "clown fish" quilt this week. Still a work in progress. But I am loving it. Jonah wants it hung in his room when I am done.

today

My 2 beautiful children.

I worked on my lession for my "color theory" class. I had trouble with purple. I just seems too dark to me.

And coming along....slowly.... the Dream Catcher quilt top. I am trying to get 2 blocks a day done, but I've missed a few days. This thing is huge. Aren't the fabrics beautiful?!

fat quarter vintage sheet swap

I am "playing along" with a bunch of people in a vintage sheet swap ( fat quarters). http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/ , Oh fransson is managing the swap and you should go to her site and check out all the fat quarters she has received so far. They are eye candy.

Here is one more sheet I haven't cut up yet. I am hoping to have them all cut, folded, packed up and mailed up Wednesday.

WIPs and baby birds

Here are some WIPs I am working on.... this is the "Dream Catcher" quilt top for the shop ( Quilting Adventures ). I have a LONG way to go. :o)
This the the fabric I am using to make a cute purse. I did get the one fabric quilted and cut out.
"Under the Sea" by Melly & Me... Fish. The colorful ones are for the shop. The more fishy version is for my son. ( who is fish crazy).
I am in an on-line class with Judy Coates Perez. The class is called " color theory". http://www.judyperez.blogspot.com/. This is one of the assignments.
I had to include a picture of the new baby birds. They are so ugly, that is makes them cute.
Now, update on my back. I am still in pain, but the meds are helping. Thank you every one for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

oh my aching back...

No pictures today. I spent the day in the ER with my back. I have wonderful drugs now and have to go to a specialist. I am still in pain, but the meds are helping to dull it. I am going to crawl back in bed and watch a Netflix movie. :o)

Cute story... My son and I were in the car the other day and the sun was going down. The sky was beautiful. Pinks and purples shining on the clouds. My son, Jonah asked," mommy what it that?". I asked " what is what?" He pointed to the beautiful sky and asked " Is that God's world?". I giggled, how cute it that.
