Missed yesterday

Good excuss for not posting laptop is going to the doctors got a virus makes me mad when I have anti-virus loaded on my computors, so I'm using my desk top which is really slow think this one will be going to get fixed later.
Well yesterday I got 38 more blocks started for the Ritz Cracker quilt that is being made larger just waiting for the charm pack, nothing yesterday at mail will check today, maybe my backing fabric will be there so I can get started quilting on Farmer's quilt top.
If it warms up outside want to take the pond pump out and put up plastic around the deck.

2 days in a row posting

This morning I started a class Microsoft Word at the college goes til the 22nd then I start Excel I'm retraining through my long term disability. first class went alright.
Still no backing fabric for Farmer quilt top. I have been making bags 4 they are fun to make and quick finishes.

Forget to add Ritz Cracker progress

I wish I knew how to add links etc. for my blog, so I can credit the person who designed this quilt.
Anyway I attatched the blocks I had made for the cracker quilt this is what I got so far it it made from Moda's Awesome line which is a nice one for fall colours

Going to try to keep this updated

What have I been doing? I went to a quilting retreat again the same place as this spring. I know I'm addicted to quilting now I love retreats. I got Farmer's Wife Sampler into a top and it's loaded on the frame just waiting for backing fabric should be here this week. Started Circle of Friends and it's now a top. Found a cute pattern in the Modabake Shop the quilt is called Ritz Cracker and I had bought a jelly roll and 1 charm pack at the quilt retreat wanted 2 but never had anymore so yesterday I ordered another charm pack I did make the 42 blocks that was called for but want to make it bigger.

Going great Guns

I've had 2 more finishes that makes a total of 8 quilts for this yr. One called Elizabeth and the other was something I was just playing with had a jelly roll and fat eights of 30's fabric quite enjoyed playing with them I'm thinking I might make Little Autumn a small quilt with the left over fabric (new neighbour too cool the little girl has the same name as my granddaughter Autumn)

What do you mean it's September!!!!

Wow where did the time go I haven't been very good at my blogging. Had Autumn for a month this summer, Shawn & Deanne, and a fellow navy friend and his girlfriend came home for 2 week, Shawn is now on a 2 month tour to South America again.
The veggie garden has been great this yr along with the flower and shrubs. Not much sewing going on this summer til yesterday when I quilted a BOM that's been on the frame for the summer. Randy's Uncle Al passed away about a week ago so I had lots of family Lynda SIL had a cold and you guessed it I caught it gosh I feel lousy today.
I've also been going to a physio clinic doing core strengthing since June 16th also had IMI injections inbetween the muscles, doing this so I can eventually return to work.
Back to this BOM ---the block on the back was to be the centre block with all the rest of the blocks around it with hst for the border I wanted to change it up as I wanted to try a mitered corner so I fussy cut the fabric to miter it turned out all right.

Where does the time go???????

Tuesday there was a parade in Victoria and Halifax with all the sailors marching, it's 100 yr anniversary. Shawn is one of them here is a pic of Shawn in uniform with Deanne his better half my older son Kris and my grandaughter Autumn(Kris's daughter)
