Started pieced letter quilt

I have been spending quite a bit of time here on the blogs. I found a very nice lady Tonya of Lazygalquilting http://lazygalquilting.blogspot.com/ She has some very nice and easy tutorials for makeing free-pieced letters. Her blog has inspired me to make a wall quilt for each of my grown children decribeing them with a bunch of words over lapping and going differnt directions. I got this part made in just one night.

Tonya also has some good ideas for hand quilting. So I am also hand quilting because of her too. You need to check out her blog. I like her philosophy of No Quilting Police and it should be fun! We had some wild weather yesterday! Wind, lightning, hail and down pours. Typical Spring storms but very early for February. Then today is it all sun. Turned back to being cold 22 degrees this morning but at least there is sun Glorious Sun!

Here is the Old Gentleman of the farm, Champ. I used to breed Golden Retreivers many years ago. Champ is my last golden left. He is now a house dog. Loves to lay in front of the pellet stove. We have to put the coffee table up against the couch at night when we go to bed or that is where he is in the morning.

The Sewing Cave is calling my name!

I have been hand quilting and my sewing machine is getting lonely. Or maybe it is the scraps calling my name.
At the local quilt store they sell grab bags of scraps and end cuts. I just can not resist them.

So I started play with scraps and makeing liberated stars and simple 9 patches.

Don't have a clue what I am going to do with them.

Just playing in the fabric.

I was trying to catch a picture of a real bright short rainbow out the front door. At least the snow is gone things are muddy, no green showing yet but soon!

As you can see by this ADHD type post my mind is just scattered all over the place. A light bulb came on in my head this morning while driveing my early morning bus route. I would like to make a couple of wall quilts. One for each of my kids useing Tonyas pieced letters.

The kids name on the top then random placed words decribeing them. example Missy is..... Amazing, Awsome, The Princess, Loved ect. in real bright BRIGHT fabrics. (her kitchen is the brightest wake you up in the morning wild green you have ever seen. Then she painted a floesent pink stripe around the room Monday) It will really pop your eyes. Now the College son hmm..... Have to find the right colors for him. I am haveing a harder time with his. (he doesn't know what colors he likes. He still will not buy his own clothes. Mom still has to do it or he will take a couple of girl friends (they are ONLY friends mom) to shop for him.) So Please help me ladies figure some colors for a Jr in college going pre med that has a sense of humor, and wrote an essay his freshman year of college that got me picked as MOM of the year for the Univercity of Idaho.
