I combined (2) scrap quilts to make this 'Football or couch' quilt for my youngest son, Thomas and his wife, Keeley. I have recently purchased a 'walking foot' for my Viking and used this quilt to practice on. Plus I also did some hand quilting on it. We don't get real cold weather till about beginning of Feb and sometimes it lasts 3 wks. I know Floridians are spoiled. I will post a couple more pictures of the quilt. I pieced the backing with muslin and this pretty blue fabric. I got the idea from Amandajean from <span style="color:#6600cc;"><strong>crazy mom quilts. </strong></span><span style="color:#330000;">She has a wonderful blog all about quilting and techniques.

It is mostly black, bold colors, teal and blues. I acquired the fabric about 15 yrs ago through a 'Charm Swap'. One of the things I like, about the quilt, it has, quite a few Hoffman charms. I had this quilted by the <span style="color:#006600;">Old Green Cupboard</span>. They did a meandering edge to edge except for inside borders have stars on them. I also tried my hand at some (rustic-looking) applique.

Saw the PA @ the drs office today. Primarily went to get a samples and a prescription of Maxalt-MLT 10 mg. It is for migraines. It dissolves instantly. It works within less than 10 minutes. The PA basically said I had had sinus, tension and migraines. I'm thinking..I knew that. She gave me script for the Maxalt, muscle relaxer for @ nite and some Cipro. I guess I just plain hit the jackpot. It was time to have some blood work done. So I reluctantly agreed to CBC and thyroid test. The rest I needed done needed to be fasting. Since I had had 2 giant cups of java this am, those tests were out. Well I came home, watched a little MI-5 a BBC series on Netflix and still having a headache lay ed down for 2.5 hrs. Jonathan came home, made supper for him and it was his time to eradicate zombies on the Xbox. I decided to succumb to the Maxalt pill. I worked on cutting out Poo Pocket diapers. Maybe I will have them finished cutting by the time I go over to Keeleys tomorrow @11am. I'm going with her over to Sams and then we are sewing some. Well it is 10:35pm, time for this quilter to go to beddie by.

My eldest grandson, Orion Quinn turned 9 yrs yesterday. He is such a good-looking boy and looks so old. Seems as though he was in my arms yesterday. I haven't loaded the pics I took from yesterday to the flicker site. But as always I forget a few steps and have to ask my eldest to watch me. Going to find a pic of Orion to put here for the time being. This was taken on 4th of July @ my daughter's place. From lft to rt: Orion, Hildie (grandkids' grandmother from south Fl), da momma (jen), and Aiden, my other, adorable grandson (7yrs 4mo now)</div>quiltingbonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17130084380023575861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523673589693928510.post-43136700757634341522009-08-09T17:06:00.000-04:002009-08-09T17:14:41.177-04:00FOR JENS 35th BD last day of july<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA7ImW0wYepCgTFkqfMtYfpfh4aGJWTgwK0Lojp068nZ5At6kZ10pw9DwPafvN4K4PM9fbLAQ5Y5TbfyJq-ABBwD8hV5_0yhECdB4KELJ8i9lPMzIRcuSYj461HkwAJcytnD13E0fit-Fm/s1600-h/DSC00640.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368075212472823106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA7ImW0wYepCgTFkqfMtYfpfh4aGJWTgwK0Lojp068nZ5At6kZ10pw9DwPafvN4K4PM9fbLAQ5Y5TbfyJq-ABBwD8hV5_0yhECdB4KELJ8i9lPMzIRcuSYj461HkwAJcytnD13E0fit-Fm/s200/DSC00640.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">For my daughter's 35th birthday, I gave her, her <em>finished, </em>Ohio Star quilt, that was set on point and started 20 yrs ago.

This is Pic of myself and my daughter Jennifer (jen). It was taken 8 yrs ago in Oct. I'll be 60 on Ground Hog Day and Jen will be 35 in 2 days. Somehow the pic seems somewhat distorted. Anyways, I'm desperately working on a UFP that belongs to Jen. It is a lap quilt that I'm told by my daughter that I started 21 yrs ago. Actually not that much actually needed to be done on it. But I didn't like that there was some bare spots in it, so instead of taking off the whole backing, I sliced parts of the backing, took out (what I would call inferior batting) and replaced it with Warm and Natural. Then I thought I would put 1 orphan block and a really pretty piece of Raggedy Ann cotton fabric(15" x 19") piece over the affected areas. Used hand quilting and machine quilting to finish it. I just need to re-check it again and check some areas on the binding before I take over to Jens on Friday July 31st. Then I'll have <strong>ONE</strong> ufp down and quite a few more to go. The idea to to still finish as many as I can. So it will be a toss up whether I will be putting Jonathan's quilt binding on or working on Baby Malcolm's quilt. ( who is due to arrive sometime about 3 Sept) Will take a pic of Jens quilt before it leaves the house. It is yellow, pink, and ecru and it is Ohio Star.quiltingbonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17130084380023575861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523673589693928510.post-50649794818688238942009-07-14T04:37:00.001-04:002009-08-12T22:52:15.326-04:00Way to early for a WeekdayYesterday I sewed with Keeley, my (only) daughter-in-law. We are working on getting the baby nursery ready for Malcolm Harold, who is suppose to make his debut into the world sometime around 3 Sept. Today is also a scheduled sewing day too. We are working on fitted sheets for the crib. They are super easy. We are using queen size all cotton sheet that I have purchased @ the thrift stores over a period of months( and I went overboard with buying those). They were 75 cents a piece. The pattern we are using is Simplicity # 3795. When patterns were a buck @ <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">JoAnns</span> that when picked up what we thought we might need for Malcolm. Anyways there is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">allot</span> in the pattern: quilt, a pillow, <strong>crib sheet</strong>, dust ruffle, bumpers, and a organizer (I think for little toys, that hangs on the crib). The general color theme that Keeley picked out was lime green, and shades of marine colored blue and turquoise. Tomorrow Wed, (July 15th), going to get up and get oil changed in the Kia, go to the bank, and then go to Fresh Market, and pop into JoAnns to look for light blue, jumbo rick rack.quiltingbonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17130084380023575861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523673589693928510.post-43292487109317768772009-06-22T07:57:00.001-04:002009-08-12T22:52:00.808-04:00it is about darn time !<span style="font-family:verdana;">June 23, 2009 8am, Northeast FL</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">My name is Bonita and I have wanted to have a blog for sometime. My eldest son has told me to put the words down 1st and then add the photo. I' a Momma, grandmomma, and a quilter. I have a CAT, named Chief Red Cloud, who is about 8 yrs old, who is part Maine Coon. My mentor is Amandajean from crazy mom quilts. Quilting and sewing soothes my mind and soul. Sometimes I do some what seems like unnecessary baste-like sewing just because I like to do some hand sewing. I love my sewing machine. It is a Viking. It is not the top of the line, but it suits my needs.</span>quiltingbonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17130084380023575861noreply@blogger.com
