... ALBEIT Belated. Growing up we used to make May baskets, fill them with flowers and candy, then "ding dong ditch" our lovelies on our friends and neighbors doorstep. I had visions of grandeur of doing this again - even mailing them to oldies but goodies... maybe next year. I'll be busy working & getting ready for My grandson to visit for my son's graduation from college .. and my daughter from High School ... ON the same day... which is the day after my oldest arrives [on HIS birthday (the day before) with Teddy!] ... and my youngest will finish his LAST concert in middle school ... then my baby will be in High school... 3 down, one to go! ...

... and Teddy's FIRST Quilt, then.

and NOW:

Design Wall Today: Ugly WIP - the fabric, the plan?

so, this is what i'm working with ~ the request was for 'browns & greens' ... so, i found this fabric and some compliments ... but, it seems the more i play with it, the PINK was standing out! uck. i NO LIKE pink ...
so, I had my son pick off anything that was reading PINK ...
and i like THIS much better~!

i'm still debating,
whether or not to use the light blue, with the PINK flowers ... in THIS quilt...

... playing with Wonky Blocks! ~ my try at Improv Quilting~

Wool Felt Scissor Holder ...

Funny Story...
So, i made ~ this .... 

fun little Wool Felt Embroidered Scissor Holder 

at the Starlight Quilters Guild meeting the other night, 

Instructed by Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters

{ lovely isn't it? =0) }

 well my son's frisky feline, who apparently is my Quilting Supervisor, was IN A MOOD (by what i can only assume was caused by the WIND) ...and HIGH-JACKED my newly crafted scissor holder whilst looking directly at me ... HE leaped of my cutting table (not an easy task with said item hanging from his mouth, it took 3 tries!) ... & proceeded to HIGH TAIL it upstairs, where i directed my son to procure the stolen item.  He found the bugger in the bathroom, after searching the house, and apparently he was disappointed he could not take it for a SWIM - because he was saddened to find a) the toilet was closed *for once* and b) his water dish was empty.

He was PEEVED~!

... the accused CULPRIT was highly upset with us and proceeded to attempt to get into all kinds of mischief ALL NIGHT long, 

into the wee hours of the morning...

Accused: Dexter ~ Crime: Theft ~ Witness: MYSELF!!! 

{OH, the other pictures of the sewing kit... i did NOT make, 
but i WANT TO!!!  
~ thanks Lynne for the INSPIRATION!!!}
