The good and the bad

It's been a while since I have been here. I have meant to pop on a few times over the last couple of weeks but things just seem to get in the way. Some good things like playing with my new machine. Here it is A Husqvarna Topaz 20. I have been playing around with this and made a bunch of shirts for my friend. We are bowling in honor of her Mom and so I placed her company logo on some shirts and then our names underneath. She will iron on a In Memory of Logo on the back.

And the bad. My grandfather passed away at the beginning of the week. He had a long wonderful life but that doesn't make losing him any less hard. Plus after 48 hours without sleep most of the time was spent in the hospital it left me wide open to what ever is going around and I caught it.

I have decided to sign up for another swap. This one at Four Seasons it is a winter based swap. Here is the fabric I have picked out for this. It is so much easier to find fabric they screams winter. I already have the pattern all picked out and will start it in Sept.

Good Ol Summer Time Swap Done!

I signed up for a summer Mini Swap called The Good Ol' Summertime Mini Swap . I have really enjoyed making this quilt. I am not so sure about this fabric reading summer. I have decided that Spring, Fall and Winter all have colors that scream their season. I do not think that is the case with summer unless you want to make a beach scene which I did not want to do.

Now the back is a different story. I am sure that the back screams summer loud and clear. This is my mullet quilt. Business in the front and party in the back. I can't say where I am sending this as it is a secret partner swap. This quilt is square you just can't tell by the pick .

Now to get ready for my next swap. This is winter so it should be a lot easier.
