Hampton Ridge BOM mon th # 6 blocks done

 I Finished my blocks for month #6 of  my  Hampton Ridge BOM !

I got to make to basket blocks this month. They are SO cute :-D

So now there are 25 blocks & there is a total of 41 blocks to make for this quilt.
  I really liked how I had displayed these 4 blocks SO.....

I started playing around with them and came up with this !

Looks a lot different right !


This is actually how the blocks will be laid out in the quilt at point with sashing.

 The finished quilt will measure 88" x 88 "

I also cut out all the fabric for Month # 7

Happy Sewing !

Black Velvet is a finish !

Hi !

I finished the binding and quilt sleeve on this quilt a couple of weeks ago and I am finally getting around to posting it.  Love how this quilt came out !

Been very busy  last week !  Smoky our kitty came down ill  she kept getting sick , not eating or drinking & became lethargic so after 3 trips to the vet we found out that her blood work was good but that she was VERY constipated !  The first thing they asked was if I did any sewing ?  They were afraid she may have eaten some of the threads on the floor.  The X-ray  showed hair ( she is a persian ) and grass .  So after a enema she was finally feeling better  Sunday :-D   We are so relieved that she is feeling better !

I now vacuum my sewing room after sewing .

Also my Dell computer crashed and went to heaven :-(     So I ordered a new apple I mac desktop and may I say I am very happy :-D  I have been busy trying to add my bookmarks and learning new things . This morning I learned how to add pictures to my documents and post on my blog  Yeahhhhh!

I will post some pictures of my garden  later this week ,  I recovered the cushions for the patio set and have planted a few new things.

My Progress on Hampton Ridge

I just completed Month #5 of my Hampton Ridge BOM...

Now I have 21 of the 41 blocks completed

Last night I cut all of my fabric for month #6

My goal is to try to make 1 block a day because I still have Month # 7  and  # 8 to make to  get caught  up

It has been  hot here in California these last few days . Fortunately our high has been only 89 here , perfect weather to stay inside drinking my sun tea and sew  :-D

Playing In my Gardens

This is what I have been doing this week........... tending to my gardens !

First thing in the morning before it gets too hot I go out with my cup of coffee and  water , weed , dead head and work in my gardens .  These are just a few pictures of our backyard .  I thought you might enjoy seeing what is blooming right now.

New raised bed  BEFORE & ...

this is what it looks like now ! We have 5 raised beds in different parts of the yard

I received this greenhouse from my hubby for Mothers Day :-D   It is called the flower house . We unzip it each morning and close it up at night.  We have 1 shelving unit in the back and we are thinking about adding a 2shelve bench each side wall .
