Aaawwww Crap!!

Looks like I'm getting out the old seam ripper (sigh)

Oh well, 1 out of  12 isn't so bad.

This is my 12th of 15 blocks for

the Great Granny Along

Back to my sewing machine.

Happy Stitching  :o)

Sew far, Sew good

It's been hot, I mean sitting and sweating while not doing a thing, stinkin' HOT!

FLICKR PROBLEM :o(

Can anyone in blogland help me out?
I have been trying to set up a Flickr account so I can complete my sign up with Lori and her Great Granny Along BUT  everytime I go to the sign in and click on sign up with GOOGLE I'm put into the page for Flickr account name/availability, birthdate, CONTINUE. When I click on CONTINUE the site crawls along and then kicks me right offline. I checked the diagnostics offered and sadly I do not know what my SSL? or TSL? is or where to look for these. I've tried a dozen times today with the same result.  I'M TOTALLY BUMMED BY THIS and just a little po'd at myself. I mean Lori even has a link for a tutorial to sign up for pete's sake!  I followed it and then nada.

My Oldest with My Latest...

This is the first of the next bundle of kiddie quilts for the womens' shelter.

My oldest, "D", volunteered for pics

(he was battling the wind)

and I was not winning with the sun

(sorry about the crappy shot).

As you can see I mixed the quilting on this one,

straight lines on the green solid

and

free motion on the print.

The backing is a bright yellow floral print on flannel.

On to the next for the

100 QUILTS for KIDS

Swim Bike Quilt

I just read about this blog hop and I wanted to make you aware too!

(click the link and bring a tissue)

My husband and I had the opportunity a year and a half ago to foster 2 children,

since that time we went through the courts and we will have them with us until they are adults.

We couldn't see these siblings separated, their lives were in enough of a mess.

After having our new additions settle in and begin to thrive I wanted to do more.

That's when I started making kiddie quilts.

One quickly became two and then three, four and then five!  

I've been making quilts for little ones that are finding their lives turned upside down by family breakdown for about 6 months now.

This bundle went to a womens' shelter this past winter

I've got the beginnings of another bundle on the go ;o)
