Update, Day 15 . . . . .

I say Day 15 because that's how many days it has been since Carrie emailed me to tell me she had received the new Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine and saw my ad.  One day later, Paulette blogged about receiving hers.

Thanks to those that have offered to let me "borrow" theirs (you know you wouldn't get them back!) and to those that have offered to send one to me.

 

And on even a sadder note: I saw on someone's blog this morning where she was almost finished making one of the projects in the magazine!  Aaaggghhh.

But alas, not in today's mail, either.  In fact no magazines today.  Yes, I will be sending an email to the sisters  at Homespun Media to see if mine was even sent out.

And because no post should be without a picture ........... Something to cool you off!

Magazine Update:

National Geographic and Entertainment! but no Primitive Quilts.

By they way, we don't have that many magazine subscriptions.  I have Primitive Quilts and Projects, Country Sampler and A Primitive Place.  Dear Hubby has Golf and Guideposts.

All the rest are Computer Geek's.  He was helping out a friend and ordered a bunch of magazines then canceled them.  But they are still coming.

Just not mine . . . . .

A baby quilt I want to make . . . . .

almost . . .  I would really like to make one for my own grandbaby but since that isn't happening yet, this is the next best thing.

Fabrics that I am enjoying! 

Unlike the last two baby quilts I made.

 

The baby is 4 months old already but it's too hot to enjoy a quilt right now so no hurry.

I'm making this sweet number.

It's from Australia's Naive & Country Quilts magazine - Vol. 2 No. 1.  Couldn't find a date but I know I have held on to it for quite a while, like years.  I knew there was a reason for saving it!  As you can see, the half-square triangles are finished and the rest is cut out.  The applique's are cut out also but forgot to put them in the picture.

I'll work on this a little at a time over the next few months.  Maybe then it will be cool enough to use it!!

ps. Magazine update.  Today was Sports Illustrated and Golf.  No Primitive Quilts.

Lost . . . . .

Help me !!  My issue of the new Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine STILL hasn't arrived!

I heard my advertisement was in it . . . .

And lots of beautiful prim projects to make . . . . . but my copy seems to have gone M.I.A.  Perhaps a mail person in the local post office is a prim quilter.  Maybe I should go meet them!

So if you have seen it, could you send it my way?  

edit - still not here today but I have been told my ad is on page 94 and it's not really an ad it's just a listing. But that's okay, it's in there ..... I just can't see it.

Quilting instead of blogging . . . . .

That's what I have been doing this past week.  And not just piecing or handwork but actually quilting! 

"Embrace Each Day" by Cheri Payne

And not just quilting but actually putting the binding on!

"Good Cheer" by Cheri Payne

And not just the binding but designing and sewing and quilting and binding.

This quilt is the second version of a quilt I designed way back here.  I had some feed back (otherwise known as constructive criticism).  This is the next rendition.  The pattern directions are almost finished but I still feel it needs something - like a button in the flower pot.  Will keep you posted.

Now that I look at them, they probably all could use a few more details or quilting but I'm just tickled pink that I have finished all this in less than a week.

Speaking of pink, I am in the middle of a baby quilt for a little girl.  She is about 4 months old and the daughter of one of the Married One's best buds from high school.  Yes, another volunteer project from her.  But this one is really sweet and very traditional.  No pics today but soon.
