Driveway and Quilt

 
In my last post I told you how we're getting a new driveway. It's amazing what a difference it is already and it's not even finished!

 No more hole!




Big leaf pile gone!



 Free dog house anyone?  This dog house creeps me out. I refuse to go near it. It's filled with trash and I'm afraid of what else it might be in it. My goal is that be the end of the summer this hideous thing is GONE!


I finished my first quilt probably like 2 months ago! Just took some pictures! It's perfect for the beach and summer. The pattern I used is yellow brick road. I used Michael Miller fabric. I ordered the fabric online from a cute store on Etsy that was all the way from Washington state!  I used a long arm quilting machine to finish quilting and hand bound the thing. Long arm good, hand binding not my favorite.  I can't wait to make another quilt.  Anyone want to loan me about 5k so I can buy a long arm? (that's used) someday when I'm older I'd like to buy one and make and sell these.  If I could only find a job in sewing/quilting. Life would be perfect





 See this hat. I made that too. Donovin needs a sun hat for the summer!  Fabric is from the same Michael Miller collection as the quilt. I was taking a weekly sit n sew class at Sanford Sewing but they canceled the Wednesday night class. I'm sad. Hopefully I'll be able to go to the one every other Friday. My teacher there is a saint and we've become good friends. She was such a huge help with the hat. Anyways people thought I bought the hat. Nope hand made! I see the flaws but maybe they don't!



The lining is lobsters!
