Welcome to RUSH HOUR...My Day
Hello!
Welcome to Day 3 of
Welcome to Day 3 of
The RUSH HOUR Blog Hop!
And
MY 16th Anniversary
to my sweet man!
Sew...
And
MY 16th Anniversary
to my sweet man!
Sew...
Thank you for stopping by today...
Shall we get started?
So...when I think of Rush Hour...I think of TIME...
My commute in the mornings can be
a smooth 20 minutes...
or if it is raining...
A HOT 75 minutes...
Sew...it's a love hate relationship for me
with time..
I saw that photo above that I took in NYC a few
years back when I thought about what I would
do for this hop and with this fabric...
It's all about time...and rushing...and finding my way
through a different route when my usual freeway is
at a stand-still. So, I reflected that in my little quilt.
In this quilt as you go quilt...each block boasts of a different
free-motion quilting pattern...
The middle of my little "clocks" boasts of how I get lost
when trying to navigate around all that traffic...
Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's CRAZY!
The back is a road map all it's own...with a few road signs
along the way...
And don't miss my little cushion...that's my car seat!
When I jump in my little Fiat every morning, I throw my purse
in, followed by setting my coffee down..
and then putting my morning papers in a seat..
So all those words seemed fitting...on a sweet cushion!
Can you see it? That little ruffle was a perfect set of
Road lines...You know you have to stay inside the lines
when you drive!!!!!
And when I am lucky...all the clocks sync-up and I
can arrive on-time! The world is in perfect order
and I am a very happy commuter!
And the entire day follows suit with
calm...awwhhh... I really PRAY
for those days!!!
And that's how it will start for me..
Each day, in this little place...
with a wee little light on, a comfy
pillow, my little quilt and my favorite
line in my favorite song... right above me
to remind me how the day, no matter
what the commute is like...
When it starts with Him,
It's gonna be a GREAT RIDE!
Please join all these other talented ladies today...
They have worked hard and
brought their creative BEST

A Baby Quilt for Adelyn Joy...
In a family of many nephews and no nieces...
with lots of grandsons and no grand daughters...yet...*wink*
It Seams to Be Sew...
that a little Great Niece should be
cherished!
Meet Adelyn Joy...
My first Great Niece...
Along with that great distinction...
should be a lovely little quilt
just for her...
Built with Sweetwater fabrics...and a soft muslin
backing...this little quilt is a world of firsts too.
It is a first time attempt at free motion quilting
a new design for me on my
Janome 7700 Horizon quilting machine..
Scared to death to ruin this,
one of my very First quilt tops...
I decided to just go for it!
It was really quick and fun too!
Just knowing I now have another set of
stitching under my belt...
gives me a lot of new confidence
to keep trying new patterns!
And soon, I hope to be making another one of
these sweet baby quilts for my other nephew and
his sweet wife when their new baby (gender unknown to surprise)
arrives later this year...
Happy Weekend All!

This and that...
It's been a busy weekend already...just finding things to do while waiting on my sweet man to be home...almost a frantic attempt to calm my excitement...
Of course by the time he arrived today at noon, I had attempted a little free motion quilting, finished a 2 year old UFO, and started on a little Christmas present...
He surprised me with a few little goodies from the great state of Alaska too...
that sweet man...
What's been your projects this weekend?

In the morning when I rise...
It all started this summer...
When my daughter was about to get married...
She had seen a sign that she really
loved and I thought I might could do it...
MIGHT being the optimum word!
I started at around 11:30 p.m. the night before the
wedding rehearsal...when Bill came in
right as I was finishing up
and asked me if I knew what time it was,
I was surprised to hear it was 5:30 a.m.!
But I have to say...I had been in the zone...
and it was peaceful...serene...quiet...lovely.
Ever been in the zone working on a project?
Then you definitely get it...
Then it was like a light switch went on..
and I began writing on EVERYTHING!!!
and then today,
This Labor day, I decided not to clean the house
as was planned from top to bottom...
I decided to do the laundry,
sew a little...
and then this happened with a board I had sitting
around that I had placed chalk board paint
on already...
My inspiration from (again) Pinterest...
a sign I had wanted to maybe purchase
but when I found out the cost of the
shipping...knew I could never do it.
but today...
I thought...
I can do it.
It is not at all like the one on Pinterest...
but i do love it just the same and
I know exactly where this is going...
Stay tuned...
So...leave me a link today of a project
you have done that Pinterest inspired.
I would love to see your version!!!
Happy Labor Day!
