Process Pledge Update!

Here is what I have been working on...

I finished Alyssa's Quilts-4-Kids top... and I pinned it! Now all I have to do is Quilt is! I cant decide which pattern to do!

Working on the Stars Quilts for Kids Quilt!

I cant decide which way to set the blocks! This way or that way? Hmmm??

This is what I decided on!

I HATE the colors, but I didnt pick them! They came in the Quilts-4-Kids Kit!

I recovered this chair!!

Before

Detto helping me put the screws back in - Men and Power Tools.... HMMM

After! Yeah!! I love the blue!

This is my Round Robin that I made for the International Round Robin!! I love it!

This is a block that I made out of scraps! I dont think I like it!

This is Lisa's Round Robin that I worked on. I just added the last blue border!

These are some Log Cabin Blocks that I made for a swap partner!

And.... I made these scrappy Stars blocks that I made to go with my QOV Quilt!

So that's my update! I have made two other blocks, but I cant show on here until....

I love making something out of scraps!

Today is the first day of KIDS COLLEGE!! Yeah for them! I hope they love it! Our church didn't do a Summer Camp this year, so instead we signed up the kids for KIDS COLLEGE!!

I am so excited for them!

Colletta's Kitchen Sink is doing a 200th Post Giveaway!!
She is giving away:

A hand-crocheted shawl made from Lion Brand Homespun yarn. Color to be decided at a later date. The below is in "Windsor". If you've never felt the Homespun yarn, it is so soft and comfy and just plain snuggly.

4th of July!!

We had lots of fun hangin' with the Family and Friends! I love holidays!!

Happy Independence Day!!

Alyssa and Abby were all decked out in their 4th of July Bling!!

Amy was trying to get Abby to look at the camera... Getting her to smile Smile? World Peace anyone?The Girls!

~John and I being Silly~

I love that Anaia SINGS ALL THE TIME!! It is so cute! The Heaton Family!

Jason and Reilly Bear! 

I enjoyed hanging out with my family!! I'm glad we all got to spend time together! Soon John and Sam will be heading to Italy and... :(

I just hope my family knows how much I love them and I care about them!

After we left Mom and Dads House we went to Downtown Leesburg to catch the fireworks... then we went home and watched our neighbors set off HUGE mortars!! It was cool!! We set off our little pack of fireworks and the kids had a blast with their Pop-its and Sparklers!

We also watched Avatar with Lisa and Ronnie! It was nice! We didnt start the movie until after 10:30pm ... I had a MUCH better 4th this year!! Last year was CRAZY running the fireworks stand!!

I hope everyone else had a great time too!!

3rd of July!!

Alyssa and Kyle went to a Church Lock-in on Friday Night and had a blast! This is them waiting to leave!

We have had a GREAT weekend! It was lots of fun!!

We went bowling as a family! It was so much fun!

Detto said that I make alot of faces when I bowl! So..... He took pictures to prove it!

This is when I got a STRIKE!!

This is Detto after he got a strike!! Yeah for you!

Alyssa flexing like Daddy!

Isn't he cute!

Stephen got a strike! He looks mad, but this was his "Happy" Face!

I told Stephen to give me a double "High-Five", but we were trying to get as close to Daddy's head as we could! We thought it was a GREAT game... Detto didn't think so! Hee Hee Hee!

I forgot to tell everyone!! Guess what....... I won! BOTH GAMES!! I have Never Won a bowling game in my life and..... I won twice in one day! (on a side note Detto wants me to meantion that he didn't have his glasses and so he couldnt see) But... I WON!! YIPPY!

Father's Day FUN!!

This was a VERY BUSY weekend!! But I loved every minute of it! I love my family and I feel so blessed to spend so much time with them!

This year the kids were so SPECIFIC about what they wanted to get Detto for Father's Day! They wanted to get him the Perfect Pull-up and a movie that I had never even heard of! They are so cute!

Detto was crackin' us up with his poses!

This bow and wrapping paper has been used now on 3 different gift. I have a personal goal to see how many times I can use it! It's stupid, but fun! You never know where this bow and used paper will show up next!

On Sunday we went out to eat after church at Detto's favorite hole-in-the-wall Cuban Restaurant.
Then we made the .... Dreaded Trip to Lowe's! I dont understand the thrill of Lowes for men! Detto wanted to work in the yard on Sunday and plant some ferns that we got from Lisa's OVERGROWN Fern Jungle!

I thought the boys looked so cute. They didnt mean to dress alike, but once I noticed it... I snapped away!

Alyssa had to ride on the cart! She is so cute! Detto was walking too fast, so I made him stop and pose!

The only thing that I wish we could have done was to see my Dad for Father's Day! Oh well!

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day Weekend!

Round Robin Process

This Round Robin center block has been REALLY TOUGH!!

I dont know why, but my fabric keeps bubbling. Its not laying flat. I used stablizer and interfacing.... Huh?? Lisa said my top tension was too tight, but when I put it from 2 to 1 it did the same thing.... Oh well. I have to mail this out by Friday so I need to get it finished.

Here is my Round Robin up to this point....

I need to add a border, but I cant decide which fabric to use.

I love them all so much!

Also, I want it to be easy for the other quilters to add a matching border! Hhhhhhhuuuuuummmmmmm!

Here are some close ups of each of the fabrics, what do you think?

1. Green                  2. Floral Pinky 

3. Peachy stripes 4. Dark Pink

Can you tell I love PINK??

I really need some feedback! So thanks in advance for your help!
