Snow

There was a little snow in my neck of the woods...

Blizzard 2016

This was Saturday before the plows

So what's a Quilting Nan to do?  Sew, and Embroider, with a dash of shoveling and carefully walking the dog.

Sparkling Vases

This was a block of the month from HGTV back in 2004!  I'm sure I must have started these blocks later in maybe 2005.  And it's been sitting in a box of UFO's (unfinished objects) for more then ten years!

Embroidery on Golf Towels 

10 Golf Towels needing a little embroidery, I haven't had these for long. (smile)  They will be finished today.

Yesterday was National Chocolate Cake Day, and since I hadn't been out of the house since last Thursday I had to go out and get me some!

KFC Chocolate Chocolate Chip

My day was complete!  

Happy sewing, Happy piecing.

A Motocycle Rider that Loved Football

A Motorcycle Rider that Loved Football

A Motorcycle Rider that Loved Football, that would be my big brother.  He loved all things sports (Football, Baseball (A die hard New York Yankees fan even though he grew up in Maryland), Hockey, Basketball), and his Honda Goldwing Touring Motorcycle.  He had lots of shirts, and miles riden on his Goldwing.  The most attendance at Rallys "Winterthings" Ocean City Maryland, "Wingdings", the most miles ridden, most chapter visit's.  You name it, they would say, "oh yeah, that was Ken".  He didn't miss a chance to ride his motocycle.  How I miss my big brother...
Shirts, most of them, and this is just the five main ones for the "five sibblings" quilts, are ready to be stitched into memorie quilts for me and my sisters, and brother.  I hope to do my dear brother proud...

Happy piceing, happy sewing,
Sheila

Happy piecing, happy sew,

Finished and Mailed

Finally, I mailed these two quilts to Mary in Florida!  The quilts have been finished since November, but I wanted to use up all the fabric's I had so I made them each a pillowcase with their name embroidered on them.  I love the way they turned out, and I can't wait to hear what Mary thinks of them.

Now I can start working on some of my many UFO's.

Happy piecing, happy sewing.
