We have week 4 pictures here! We had an awesome week look at the picture on the top/left side of the blog! That is what we accomplished at the end of yesterday. The whole center part/piece. Awesome! We also had a special guest this week, Lisa! Her picture is below, I ment to put hers on top but these pictures did not load like I wanted them too. Anyway, picture # 1, This was not my idea,lol. Someone let Rachel use the sewing machine.......I know what your thinking. WHY. but she actually did pretty good.





um, well I decided to do all the sewing machine pictures first, Danielle's sewing machine was being pretty disobediant.....well, VERY disobediant....so, we decided to call in some help....someone who, can help in times of peril......someone, someone like Bob.











aww.....
(oh yeah, Bob grew legs)














I finally got a good picture of Sara using the sewing machine.













Lisa!!!!!!

okay, eveyone, I need to start another post to add the rest/of a whole bunch of awesome stuff.

FINALLY! Week Three of Quilting!!

Hannah was not able to attend this weeks quilting extravaganza *snif* so I was the replacement photographer.



We were all very excited about this weeks quilting episode, because so many of us had been sick with some form of virus or another, and it was very saddening having to cancel last time. Since some of my family was still sick at my house, Sister Kelly graciously offered to host it at her house Tuesday!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! She even provided us with Dr. Pepper, Snacks, and music for all to enjoy.



Where we left off last time, we had just started sewing the corner pieces to go on the main squares of our quilt. You should be surprised at how much we accomplished......er...in a way...this week!



Before I begin, you all remember our mascot, "Bob" right? Well, he's still with us , here you see he's enjoying one of many acupuncture treatments. GO BOB!

Here are the three seamstresses ( I offered to do something else and just watch them... my skills on the machine are VERY rusty....it would not be wise to put me in that circle, lol)

During our project, sister Kelly's cats kept a watchfil eye out for anything out of the oridinary, or in their case, a rodent of some sort.

And here we are viewing pictures of THE most dangerous job of all, ironing, which just happened to be given to me.........I found out that if a concentrate really hard ( I hate ironing) I can actually do a decent job and not burn myself. Oh, and you should all know by now that I have a reputation for finding new "weapons" each week which I use on my "victims" a.k.a the other three peeps in our group. ( do not worry, so far it has only been attempts to hurt, no one has been injured yet.....yet....) The new weapon is " THE IRON!" It burns, it melts.....it pretty sweet.




Once we finished sewing and ironing the corner pieces together ( above picture)
Danielle and I started pinning together the whole square which Sara and Kelly then sewed together. They were also seing toegther more of those blue and white fabric peices.


TA-DA~!! Sara is happily displaying our first finished square!!! IS IT NOT THE MOST AMAZING AND EXCITING THING YOU EVER SAW?????????? Not bad for our first time....well at keast for that part.

Alas, our happy little group of four sewing ladies, would no longer be the fairytale we all thought it to be. Nay, great trials and tribulations threatened to end our quilt for all eternity. A certain "someone" ( NOT ME! I PROMISE) accidentally skipped over a part of the quilting instructions and we ended up sewing all the blue triangles to the white rectangles, and we were not suppose to use them all up like that. So below you witness the terrible consequences of that persons mistake.....we ended up spending the rest of our day ripping seams.

oh, by the way, another good weapon is a seam ripper.

But one of the highlights of our visit, was getting to see Tracey and her newborn kittens!!!!! Tracey is the cat that Sister Kelly is fostering until the babies are old enough to be adopted out. We spent about fifteen minutes before and after we quilted watching this momma and her adorable babies. Tracey is doing very well, and she's so happy, and such a good mother. The babies are all healthy as well, and just sooooo cute!!!

So that's week three of quilting, and I hope you viewing enjoyed! Next week we will be doing it again at sister Kelly's house, hopefully there won't be anymore delays because this is just too much fun! And oh the things we talk about.....hee hee

Today's Quilting Episode

Today's regularly scheduled quilting will be temporarily postponed as sickness (or the plague) is running rampant down hither. Gary and I have been sick, now Abel, Sara, and Bro. Buddy are sick. We will resume at a later date.

more of quilting day two pictures (awesome...)

It is so much fun to quilt with church friends, its also alot of fun to lock Danielle outside! lol (by the way this was not my idea, none of the schemes are my idea, I am just their very humble photographer)
poor danielle!
i put this pic up for sara because she said I did not get any pictures of her, well, here is proof!
haha! on the way over to our house, Danielle and Kelly both happened to get Burger king, and both some type of coke drink, and the same size cup! in this picture, Danielle is trying to figure out if the cup she had just taken a sip out of was hers! lol (it was)
rachel concentrating! matching squares takes a lot of concentration!

Yay! day two!!!!

day two of quilting pictures are here! There will be more coming from day two probably tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Before I start....I want everyone to meet our mascot.
Bob the Tomato.
when ever things get hard, we have Bob.


*gasp!* look everyone! we have started sewing!
is'nt it great? ooohhhh.........well except for the fact that we did have a
few problems with the sewing machine....correction Danielle's
bobbin.(well, maybe we wont blame Danielle.....lol) yes you see, if you look at the fabric next to the sewing machine closely, you will notice that we did have a few problems there, the thread is not sopose to be like that. But like the saying that Danielle found in our official quilting book: "Perfect quilts like perfect people are boring" so if they do mess up, its almost a GOOD thing!! (don't worry though we fixed the thread.)and Sara graciously decided to do the sewing. ok next picture ..

Danielle and Rachel pinning the fabric pieces together...
yeah, well they were more like flying bats, ok....

*NEWS FLASH* look closely everyone! Rachel has a NEW weapon with which to kill Danielle with during quilting! as I said look closely at the end of her pointer finger. yep,it appears to be a plain old pin to a person like me or you, but to Rachel, it is a Mini Spear!!!!

her victim has no idea, just look at them!

and last but definetly not least, we have a new quilting member! Kelly has joined us!!!

Let me tell you something to understand this picture below.

ever since day one of quilting, we have had a problem with Rachel sharpening the pencil, EVERY single time it would break, and then break again. Rachel saiD sharpening pencils is not her forte.

kelly is tons of help!!! and..........

she can sharpen pencils.
