Remember that Quilt I was working On?

I finally finished the quilt I was working on and have made posts about the progress on my blog! I used the quilt pattern from Moda called Swanky, that you can find here on the United Notions web site, it is six rows down. I backed the quilt with Minkee, which was no small feat quilting this queen size quilt! I had to rip out the quilting stitches more than a few times!

My granddaughter picked out all the fabric, and I have to say, she did such a great job at color combination! I am teaching her how to sew, and I think that at 10 years old, she is off to a great start!

Okay, here are the pictures of my granddaughter receiving the quilt and a couple of pictures of my daughter, granddaughter, and one of my grandsons.

I sure hope you enjoy!

What a day! It is really hot here in Central Texas!

My poor daughter and her family are here at my house because their AC broke last night! With the weather being over 100 degrees for the last 2 weeks, having the AC break is not fun! They stayed at their house last night and were absolutely miserable! They came over when the sun came up, because the house was getting even hotter! And they brought the little guinea pig too! LOL! Did I tell you that not only did the AC break, but so did the refrigerator? Now what kind of luck is that?

The newspaper also stated that today, we are having a heat advisory! My daughter and family (3 kids), are renting a house, and of course the Realtor Company are closed for the weekend. They can't call until tomorrow, Monday, to even see if someone is going to come out to fix everything.

Hopefully, everything will be fixed tomorrow. It is really crowded in this house with 5 extra bodies!

Now, onto the quilt I am working on.....Chocolate Dreams. I have posted pictures of the material I used, and block that I made. Now I am going to show you how they are coming together!

I have one more column of blocks to sew together (and I am blogging instead! LOL!) and then I can sew all the columns together and have a quilt top! Woo Hoo!

Okay! Here are the pictures!


Since I don't have have a design wall, I have to hang my blocks/columns over my big window!

Back to sewing!
