Dive - Steven Curtis Chapman

Hi!

Since I didn't have a blog of my own last year this time, I didn't realize how hard it is to stop and just say "Hi''! So,

I have 17 more days of school

My quilting class is over for the semester

We keep meeting anyway through the summer, YEA!!!

I'm sewing in little spurts, but NOT because I don't have the desire to!!



Blue is still on the frame, I'm working on this for a gift on the 20th...

Hello, my friends! So, I'll leave you with this song, the main theme of our school wide musical this past Thursday. My kiddos were adorable, and it is a great theme for the busy days ahead...

I'm Diving In!

Happy Quilting,
Pokey

A Little Peek

... because there is not anything finished, but we're still havin' fun!

Wednesday:Progress

The "Blue Kitchen Sink" is almost on the frame...

Three months of piecing...

Inch by inch, it's a cinch...

I'm hoping for some quilting this weekend...!

Happy Quilting!

Smile!

Need a smile? Or a little laughter? You gotta see Julie at her blog, "Joy's Hope", and her little Janie today. It might even save you 15% somehow...too cute!

Happy Quilting,

Oh, Boy! Oh, Boy! Oh, Boy!

It's here! You don't know how hard it was to find "it", course, part of it was shopping around for a good price, and then trying to get one available...

Thank you to Shelly from our newest quilt shop, "The Sew and Sew" in Glendora.

Can't wait!! But, I will. . . .

Happy Quilting!

May Surprises

Chris is having a May giveaway. It's a surprise! What fun!

Ever noticed how happy that Elmo face makes you feel?

Thanks, Chris!

On the First Day

It's Sunday, the first day of the new week. The l-o-n-g-e-s-t--- week -of -school is over!
I'm glad that:

• every student in my class was represented on Open House night!
• every student had their own lighthouse made at home, and brought in for the week.
  
• we had ten little chicks hatch and peeping away
• almost every bean plant sprouted for the kids
• we survived jogathon in the 80 degree heat, summer's coming
• huh?
  
• oh, yeah, summer's coming!

In other Davis household news:

• the insurance company "totaled" the car
• we "bought" it back (crazy, it's ours, but we had to pay to keep it)
• we now call it the creepy car, but it's drivable still
• (with a screwdriver instead of a key, lol)
• Larry has extra work to help with those ever-widening ends (the ones you try to make meet)
• more blessings: sweet words of encouragement from you out there, thank you!
  

On the creative front:

• helping with Ginny's first quilt-so cute!
• went to the TLC Guild Quilt show yesterday and enjoyed the talent showcased there
• measured the quilt for its borders ( I feel so slow!)
• cut the first border, pinning it on today-!
  
• still waiting on the ruler
  
• cut more black and white for the floral prints (hexagon quiltalong)

I'll leave you with my most recent photo fun, fabric color!

I'm hoping to show some of these things in progress, meanwhile, hope you all have a blessed Sunday, and a great week!


Happy Quilting,
