So I made these bibs just to see if I could. I bought a towel for the back.
Just glad I had someone to gift them to. I had lunch with friends and I wanted to do a real blogging thing and take a picture of my chicken salad club sandwich, but I had a very cute slobbery baby on my lap, just in time for that bib.
It has been beautiful these past few days. I have been enjoying my clothesline immensely.
Yesterday I did three loads all my bedding and every bit was dried on the line. Today three more and two on the line. I am trying to get it all in before the rain tomorrow.
If you look closely you can see the cover on the pool one of the sad things about fall.
I have been working on this String Quilt for probably about a year, I should really write down when I begin a quilt, well maybe not it would give me anxiety to finish it. Actually it has been a year. I don’t know if I can call it a quilt, I never actually quilted it, just sewed the blocks together and added a back.
This began as a comforter cover for my bed, but my DIL so fell in love, I decided to make it for her. I finished the rows as few weeks ago and we took a trek to Lancaster to pick out border and back fabric.
I spent Wednesday sewing button holes (a first for me) and then sewed the buttons on. She loves it.
Here are some pics:

Congratulations, lets make it all the way to the series!
Yesterday I spent most of the cleaning up my quilt room, but I also had time between a visit with the kids and a little bike repair to make these blocks. It is a very simple quilt using an Oz charm pack. I think this is the last time I buy a charm pack. I just don’t like the variety or lack thereof. I just felt like the most plain fabric was repeated many times, while the most interesting and that with the most variety there was only one square. Maybe, I just noticed it more because of the quilt I was trying to make with it. Anyways, enough belly aching, this is the quilt I made, not sure I like it but I will finish it and we will see where we go from there.
I really do love a good sandwich.
Growing up dad did all the grocery shopping. He would get up early on a Saturday, and first stop was the the deli for lunch meat, he would come home, unload and then to the next store, feeding ten kids was a lot of work. I would make a bologna, cheese and mayo with lettuce and tomato on a kaiser roll. It was so good.
Today I made a quilt sandwich and I made it in the kitchen. I have made a couple of quilts with pieced backs and I have not been happy with the results. So I was in the kitchen the other day and thought I can line up the quilt back with the tile line on the floor, so I did.
This is what I did:
First I cleaned the kitchen floor, that was just and added bonus 
This is the back of the quilt:
Placed the back right side down and aligned the top edge along the grout line, I then searched my quilt room for 10 minuted looking for the tape (I had already brought it down and put on the chair ready for use) I then flattened the quilt bottom and taped it along the edges:
Then came the batting, I did smooth it down.
Then I centered the quilt top on the batting:
Pinned and ready to quilt:
There you go. I think I’ll have some lunch now, with all this talk of sandwiches.
