FireWorks!!

 This has been the year of some amazing groups wanting to help out in our Quilts of Valor Efforts - Earlier this year I spoke at the League of Northern Colorado Quilters and! We had a sew day...

it was a blast : Read about it here.

I had tops, I had blocks... and this week!!

I got to Quilt one of the tops!!

Isn't this just fun!! I love the texture that comes out - and all the flags waving with the stars. I found a SUPER cool backing fabric - and yes... I did buy the whole bolt!!

I loved it - and I have enough QOV's to quilt  - I will probably use it all!

 ( I just realized the photo is upside down... just flip your monitor haha)

We made Three tops that day - this is 1 of the 3 - so you will see a few more!! 

Alright - it is Prime Deal Days... I have been so interested in a red light therapy thing for a long time. I don't have a lot of experience with them - but have used them at my massage place. I hear that they are good for sore muscles and healing. 

I have hit that age where my hips hurt - a lot... So I am jumping in and on deal days buying one: 

This one dropped $30 bucks for deal days: 

medisana Red Light Therapy for Body  if you have any experience let me know - I will be excited to try it and see if it really does help. Also - My Ankle/Foot is still in the healing phase ( it is SOOOO slow) maybe it will help there too?

I did get this Vibration plate last fall - and I use it a lot, it helps with the puffiness and surprisingly if you use it at low speeds , relaxes my back... ( its 20% off for deal days)

And a funny, Just in case my Grandbaby gets to come this way.. I got diapers haha!! They were on sale!! and!! if she doesn't come here, I can just pack them for when I visit.  

BTW - I walk 5-6 miles a day, I do my chores, I do stretches, any other suggestions to help with hip pain - I will take them ...

Fireworks!! and Finished ( or not) Friday

I was invited to be the Speaker for the League of Northern Colorado Quilt Guild in Loveland. Before the presentation they hosted a sew day and I brought a million block kits to make FIREWORKS!!! ( formerly known as JR18HHS3)

They stitched, I annoyed, and!!

It was fun to see the different layout ideas for these blocks.

We also got a TON of blocks stitched - I came home with a stack - so even more quilts will be coming out of this sew day.

If you are in NoCo - they are a great guild. Such fun people, and so supportive of the community

This last week sort of got away from me - The weekend was all awesome - but!! it kept me away from the computer. 

Saturday (I Know! LAST Saturday) I got to Award 10 Quilts of Valor to more amazing Veterans. I just love these folks - 178 Vets were there to witness the *wrapping*

Sunday found me cutting and re-writing my presentation, and choosing the quilts to show, and stressing that I would bore people - so I was afraid of my computer. 

I had been cutting block kits for the Guild Sew day, but I started thinking - what happens if I run out???? so I cut more, and then I panicked and thought - I bet everyone of them sews faster that me... I should cut more... So I did....

And now - They stitched a ton, but I actually have a few kits left over. I am going to look at that as PRE PREP for my next QOV sew day... right???

Anyways - How was your week? What did you get Finished ( or not)?
