200 Post Giveaway

First I thought I'd show you what I'm working on now.All out of my stash. This is the first part of Bonnie's Double Delight. After I saw it completed I just had to make it. Takes time though. Here are the first 150 blocks which partiaily make up one of the blocks.Her instructions are so good and easy when you use the Essy Angle ruler for cutting out the triangles. These are only 3 1/2 . Now to the giveaway. Remember when Kim and I were making these Pieces of the Heart quilts. This is the Chance of Flurries, Good for the east coast where I live.Here is my completed top. So here is the pattern and if you would like it leave a comment within the next few days and on Sunday the 24 of May I will pick a name and post on that days blog. You must then send me you address and it will be mailed out the next day.



In getting the picturess ready for this post I uploaded the Trees quilt done in the same way. To bad neither of them have been quilted yet. I couldn't figure how to delete it so figured I'd just show it again. Someday they will get quilted.


We're having some really nice weather now after about 3-4 days of rain. Boy is the grass and here weeds have been growing. I managed to get out and weed whack the bank this aternoon but it wore me out.


So far things are going fine, Hubby is really weaker than I thought he was but as long as he can get around a little it's fine. Oh, and I have an aide coming now twice a week t o bath him. A big chore off my hands. Sure miss my kids though.

Thanks for stopping and remember to leave a comment if you want this pattern. It was so much fun to do.

Hi Eileen,
I loved the pattern so much when I saw it on your blog that I ordered it from Sandy Gervais. Yours turned out so pretty,- as did your trees. Someone will be a lucky winner when they receive this pattern to celebrate your 200th post.
It is nice that your children were able to come and visit and help you out- but mostly, I am sure you both enjoyed having some lovely family time together.
I hope that hubby is doing well and that the homecare is working out nicely.
Thanks for stopping by my blog- I am always glad to hear from you- lovely lady.
Congratulations on 200 posts.
Warmest regards,
Anna

I love both of your quilts. Don't even give it a thought that they're not quilted. I have at least 30 quilt tops that aren't quilted. You are not alone.

Congratulations on your 200th post!

The quilts are beautiful. The snowflake one looks great in the blues and whites, of course. I have a friend that did the trees, and the fabrics she chose didn't do well. Yours turned out fantastic. My friend had to make hers over. Hopefully you'll be able to get yours quilted soon!

Congratulations, again.
