my new obsession....

The Weather Channel & not much else....
so many affected & the tornados just keep coming, my nerves are on end, a worried mom for sure....
so much devastation everywhere for so many....so sad....

thoughts & prayers....

thoughts & prayers go out to all the families devastated by the tornados in Joplin Missouri....my son & grandkids live outside Springfield not that far away....we travel through Joplin on our trips there beautiful countryside....my son's family are all okay very stormy but no tornado touchdowns, more storms still coming....
mother nature is a frightful as she can be beautiful at times....

moody quilter....

oh yes, definitly so....usually always in the mood....
my mood dictates my color choices, block sizes, appliques in cotton or wool, etc.
took my husband to the airport today, now it's just me, fabric & my mood for a few days...
already have worked on blocks, tops and appliques for at least eight different projects today....my mood is energized and i haven't had one Red Bull!!!
when i can go without interuption there's no end to my creative mood....that's a good thing....
"no matter how old you get, if you can keep the desire to be creative you're keeping the man-child alive"  John Cassavetes

some ducks in the pond....

got about a dozen blocks done, changing the layout a little i think from Lori's Leftovers Quilt....you can see more four patches in the background laying on their background fabrics waiting to be cut...
i'm using 1/4" strips to make the four patch blocks, my finished block size will be 6".....
i like the way it's coming along....

a new project...

needed some hand stitching to do so i came up with this today....wanted to make a couple of blocks for my leftovers quilt and they grew into this little quilt instead....
i love it cheri

knitting....

can you believe it i had not one hand stitching project still in progress last night so i pulled out my knitting project for times just like this....making squares for a knitted patchwork quilt made one more last night whoo hoo....it's a slow going project, not a fast knitter....probably making more squares tonight unless i put together a new hand stitching project today....
i'll be in my sewing room most of the day as it is a rainy one...
enjoy your day  cheri

getting my ducks in a row....

i have been totally inspired by Lori@humblequilts.blogspot.com...she made a quilt she called leftovers which i covert but i have to make my own & i'll enjoy doing it....started today with a few four patches, cut some background blocks, sewed a few more strips together for more patches and i'm excited to get some blocks together....now hopefully i can make enough blocks that my hubby can actually use it, that is the plan!
don't my ducks look cute!!!
i did work on other quilt projects too, busy, busy day....
enjoy cheri
