Two quilts done - Added picture

Front of Ethan's quilt

I've managed to get 2 quilts completely done.  YEAH!!!  The first one is a Christmas gift for Ethan.  It is a 10 minute quilt block quilt.  These are so easy and fast to do.  There isn't any batting in this quilt because I used flannel for the front and back.  It will be plenty warm enough.
This one is the Scrappy Pineapple quilt.  I forgot to take a picture of it before I put it in the washer/dryer.  Maybe in a couple of days I will take a picture of the completed quilt.  
All done washing and drying.  Here is the finished quilt.

Now I need to cut the little girl's quilt for Christmas.  Before I do that, I have to decide what I want the quilt to look like.  This one will also be flannel just like her little brothers.
No much going on around here except my chimney is getting fixed.  When we had the bad hail storm back in 2007 the cap was bent up and almost off.  That was suppose to have been fixed.  When we had rain the other day, we could hear the drip, drip, drip of water.  After we checked in the attic we found that the 'let's put the cap back in place and take the easy way out' wasn't even secured to the chimney.  There was also a really big gap and the water was just pouring in.  The only damage is a very small water mark on my bedroom ceiling.  You can't see it unless it's pointed out to you.  That will be the next thing to fix.
I finally have gotten rid of my sinus headache.  It was so nice to wake up this morning with a head that didn't hurt.  It had been hurting for almost 2 weeks straight.  I can function now so it's off to get some fabric cut out.

A very long week

A lot has happened since I last posted, so this may be a pretty long post.  Stop now if you don't want to read of my rambling.
My sister-in-law died yesterday.  She was Bill's oldest sister, aged 85.  She had been in poor health for quite a few years, but that didn't stop her from wanting to visit with us.  She always found a way to make it from Pennsylvania to Texas and enjoyed every minute of it.  Helen will be missed by all of her family.
We had the septic cleaned out yesterday.  What a job.  The stupid a$$ builder had buried the cleanout lid.  So that meant we had to hire a mini backhoe to get it dug up.  Got that done and Bill had to go buy an extension pipe to reach the ground level.  Bill's son come over and clean up the yard that was now all messed up from the digging.  It looks almost normal now. 
All of this took place while I was away from home.  I spent an enjoyable day out with my girlfriends caressing fabric!  After that we went to lunch at the Olive Garden then on to Half Price Books.
Earlier in the week I had a 'meet & greet' with the doctor who will be doing my colonosopy.  That is scheduled for Sept 12th.  I don't mind the procedure, I just don't want to do the prep.
I finished the Seattle Streets quilt that went to my older Sis.  It was mailed out yesterday, she should have it by Tuesday (because of the holiday weekend). 

Tanner thought that I wanted a picture of him so he posed for me.  The 'mess' on the upper right is a king size pineapple scrap quilt for my bed.

The first 3 rows are sewn together, I just need to find the time the finish it up.  I will post pictures when I am done.  The pattern is from Bonnie Hunter's website:  http://www.quiltville.com/ .  Can you tell I've got a ton of scraps and my goal is to use them up.  Fabric is getting to expensive for my taste and I do have quite a bit in my stash.

That's it on my week, hope everyone had a better one!
