Way back in August I got this top all laid out, I thought I had stitched it together.... and then I didn't remember where it had gone.... So imagine my happiness when I saw it in my To Be Quilted pile....
There is growth on my design wall!!
it has turned into a game - how small of a crumb I can save ... and my husband just looks at me like I'm crazy.... he knew that when he married me tho - so what's the problem hahah!!!
That purple line - that is denoting what I think the first quilt will be.... maybe - i am sort of playing in the creativity and just letting it take me where it needs to go.....
Water.... oh boy.... remember we are in the country and we have our own well/cistern for water usage. that last couple of months I have thought the water pressure was getting lower, but in the summer we use more water - so its kind of hard to tell if its pressure or the pump trying to keep up....
Until we got home last Monday ( from the wedding you know!!) and the water sort of ....trickled.....
Then I knew something wasn't right - so I called the well pump guy and he diagnosed a problem. He did an intermediate fix so I wouldn't ( fingers crossed) lose all water - and then yesterday came to replace the parts.
Why is this important? I have a Waterpik Powerpulse Shower head.... and its got great pressure, even with our water failing.... but now... Oh my stars NOW!!! I have full water pressure and I turned the shower on and stepped in... and Holee Cow....
I have a shoulder issue and the water pressure helps it a lot - but with real water pressure - it was like a masseuse had worked on my shoulder !!
Too much info I know - but you all need to check this showerhead out - it should be called the Quilters Relief Shower head... you will be able to stitch all day!!!
Back to the Crumbs....
Until Next Time.....

Midweek Makers at Quilt Fabrications
After I finished piecing the Random Plaid Blocks... ( see that post here)
There were still more plaid left in my bucket.... I mean... I may never NEVER see the end of it....
So I laid all the pieces out and decided to make Crumb blocks
I still have a huge pile of Blocks getting up to size.... I may be here a while....
Oh and at the bottom of the strings in the bin.... was another project I had started..... oh boy......
Until Next time......

Design Wall Monday at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts
Oh my Gosh! it has been a crazy week and a half for me and my family - but I think... we now have all the laundry done, groceries have been purchased, and maybe... we are back to our routine life haha!!
Let's start with the Finish!!!!
My LONG MAY SHE WAVE Mystery came to a close Wednesday... and now... its time to show off my Quilt!!! I tried to keep it under wraps for the past 8 weeks/.. but I need to brag now!!!
All for a good cause tho!!!
We finally got to celebrate my son and .... his wife! ( how did my baby get old enough to have one of those????)
And now we wait for the Professional photos - but... I just couldn't wait to share haha!!!
And lastly - a few of you said the Quilt hangers were out of stock - I had to order more yesterday - and they were back.....that means I am up to hanging 24 quilts!!!! I had no idea I had that many to hang!!! Most of mine get given away or sold... or so I thought!!!!
