There is errors I know, BUT....

at least I am learning some of the basics. Tom night is the last night and we are to bind it and then she will show us how to put it together, mark it and quilt. At least that is the plan. Wish it was another week and she would really be able to show us it all.

The errors:
appliques not perfect
blocks do not meet up~~the best
and the red inner border is crooked on 2 sides. Ruler slipped and I didn't notice till the yellow was on. Will see tom.. It is 10:30 now.
Could be wrong but not all material was 100% cotton so I think some of the material stretched.
It is laying up over the couch here, so not flat.

All seasons are done


Late last summer I started making these covers to put over this duck tape weight thingy that we use in our drive up drawer at work. Tonight I finished the last 4 so should be done unless I do one for back to school. Will see.

Top picture is of a bench I have in my room that my grandpa made years and years ago and I took it out of my great grandparents barn. The rocker was my grandmas and the little black chair is mine from childhood.

The 25 my grandparents use to make for everybodys ann.. My g'pa died in May 05 and I was married 25 yrs. in 8-05. When we were cleaning his house we found one that had been cut out but not painted up so my parents had planned on doing it for us and then my dad died in 6-05 so my mom fixed it for us. Then we buried my g'ma on my 25th ann.. So it means alot to me. Then the bottom 25 is one that my grandparents did for my great aunt (they use to do halves) so the year I had my 25th and the great aunt and then her sister was down for g'mas funeral and they were thinking I wouldn't get one so gave me hers.

Items I made this afternoon
