More Quilting

Greetings dear friends and blogging buddies!~ Have you all been staying cool?! Boy it's real muggy here. I know it will only get worse as well move more into summer. i've been staying busy with the usual and then some. I've worked on some exchange stitching so I don't reall have much to show in the way of stitching.

I have been getting in a little quilting time. Thanks to the Thimberries tips and tricks , and a few of my own, I've been able to fit some in in the 5-10 min increments that I've had. I have gotten the first row pieced for the 9-Patch Charm Walk and here is the progress in two pictures.



I really like the fabric and color combinations . The aster print in the third patch , in the first row, of the first 9-patch of the second picture, (have I confused you yet? LOL) reminds me of some wall paper that I seen in a house when I was really little. It's almost the same. Isn't it funny how we can retrieve little things here and there from our memory? It's funny because I can almost smell that old wall paper! It's starting me to think of my grandmother's house so I better quit before I cry.

Well I have to race out the door soon... yes this early! I will go for now. I want to thank you all for your continued visits and for the wonderful comments . I appreciate them all and I appreciate you all! I have enjoyed learning what some of YOUR favorite things are! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

'till next time,

don't be a stranger,

  1. I smelled something the other day that took me back to my grandma's house when I was little. It reminded me of powder that she used to have with a great big powder puff!!

    Love the quilt - pinks and browns - love it!!

  2. You're making great use of your 5-10 minutes of time. Your quilt is really coming along and I have to agree with you on the fabrics - they're great - and the one does remind me of old wallpaper.

  3. Hi Sharlotte,

    Sorry I have been a "stranger' lately. But I am trying to catch up on everyone's blogs. I love your fabric choice for your quilt. It will be beautiful once it's finished and just think how wonderful it will feel to snuggle underneath it! Keep up the good work, I'll try not to be a stranger. Take care....
