Hummingbirds, Geese and Winners

Here’s the Geese in a Ring top I finished yesterday

I really LIKE it!!

I mean to have the outer border be a solid but the top measures 44″ so it wasn’t quite enough for a WOF strip so I added a corner stone

Here’s the layout in EQ7

I like to add a skinny border to show what the binding will look like- it will be the same blue as the corner stones and inner blue border- a blue heart fabric!

Here’s the next bible BOW – Bathsheba

I’ve read about her before… Again Lust and Sin is involved.

The block is called whirlpool. Bathsheba was taking a bath when the King saw her and lusted after her and she later became his wife- didn’t he get her husband killed? I think so- honestly I didn’t re-read it this week.

so I thought the blue is great for water and the white swirl also has yellow dots in swirls, well it made me think of a man’s “hmm” – I’ll just let you think about that 🙂

Here’s all the blocks together on the design wall. I LIKE it 🙂

 I had to snap this picture really quick, don’t worry I got her away from the cord really quickly.

She likes to move around on the floor instead of the play pen so I let her do that now but it’s hard to not have her get into everything. she’s not crawling, but flipping and somehow scooting around.

Soon enough she’ll move MUCH more 🙂

BTW look WHO was in the EQ news today

I wrote yesterday how I was almost done with the Benartex quilt, using this hummingbird block from EQ- I believe I used this for their EQ challenge one month- the theme was BIRDS

Here’s the quilting, just curves on the blocks and a leaf vine on the outer border

super scrappy backing, I have maybe a 8×10 piece left of ONE piece of fabric out of 1/2yd of each of the fabrics

And remember this label! it’s on the back.

Now MARY suggested that I add interfacing to the back when I do this method of sewing it all the way around and cutting a slit and turning it inside out, this way I can iron it down too before sewing it on. Genius!!

Here’s the layout in EQ with quilting design

And the block 🙂

And quilting design. I did a tutorial about this here

I also have to show you my latest “addiction”

well it’s not NEW I guess, I always love playing computer games

And I love BIG FISH games

a few weeks ago I got monopoly, I play this now when I’m holding Sonja or she’s eating 🙂

I can easily play with ONE hand…..

 Do you play games too? what games do you like?

A few funnies from facebook etc.

I actually don’t mind adding the binding 🙂

I LOVE pickles 🙂

No comment here, but something happened online a few days ago.

And it has also been a reason why I had quit FB in 2012, but slowly got back into it because of my PAGE…. but I don’t post much except my blog links 🙂
