Another day, another quilt

I finished the oldest granddaughter's quilt today.  It's not a quilt to keep warm, it's to snuggle with.  I had gone thorough my scraps a couple of months ago and used my Go! cutter to cut up the scraps into useable shapes.  With the bigger pieces I cut the tumbler blocks.  I had a bunch of them and that's what I used to make the quilt.  I left the sides 'natural' and didn't even them off.  But dummy me should have sewn the back to the front, right sides together then turn it right side out THEN quilt it.  I didn't think of that until I was binding it.  Oh well, maybe next time.  The size is 40' x 58'.

Sweetie took me to the Casino yesterday.  I did win (not a bunch) and saved some money for my fabric shopping trip on Thursday with the girls.
It has just been unbearable lately.  Today it's been humid (39%).  I know that it isn't that high for say someone living in Florida but it's high here.  It got up to 104 today.  AND no end in sight.  I guess I'll just stay home and not venture out in this weather.
I'm going to try to make a new purse.  I've got a pattern that I reduced by 25%.  It still looked to big so I took that one and reduced it down 15% more.  It may or may not be small enough.  I will just have to see how it comes out.  I'm outa here to cut some fabric for my new purse.

My first post!!!!

Since this is all new to me, I will probably make a zillion mistakes.  I'm sure that I will get better as time goes by - well, lets hope so anyway.

As far as my sewing goes, I've picked up an UFO that I started last year.  I figured it was about time to finish it sometime this year.  It's called Fans and Flowers.  Since I just cleaned up my sewing area, I can't find the book to give you the title.  Here's a picture of what I have done so far.  That is if I can figure out how to post pictures....   We shall see.

Maybe in a couple of days I will have gotten further on it.

Fans and Flowers - not much done yet
