Vintage Sheet Quilt FINISH!

Well I did get a quilt finished this week. I didn't think it was going to happen but I just had to finish it. We are taking our vacation Tomorrow!!! I need to take this quilt with me because we are going to the mountains and I am told it will be a lot colder than down here in the sunshine state! 

Believe me we need a vacation after working on my husbands new shop and my new quilt studio. Woo Hoo Yes you read that right he is putting me a NEW quilt studio in his new shop. I am beyond exited!! It will take us some time because we are doing most of the work ourselves. But I have no doubt it will happen. So here is a picture tutorial of what I have been up to.

This is such a soft quilt I am in love with it. If you follow me on instagram you know my husband is too. LOL

I love this sheet that I bound it with. I did have to cut it on the bias to get it to look this way.

I used one of my many decorative stitches on my machine on the binding. I plan to use this quilt a lot so I turned the binding to the front and stitched it down.

I made my own label. I found this method on Pintrest you can see it on my board labeled crafts HERE

Sorry this picture is blurry it is the back of the label. 

This is the back of the quilt with this beautiful daisy sheet.

Now I will show you what else we have been doing.

This is Darren's little shop before.

We had someone remove the siding.

We hired a contractor to put a pole barn over the shop he has to much equipment to store anywhere else.

The contractor is done now it's our turn.

This is the end my studio will be on.

All framed up for the concrete. 

We got most of the medal siding on.

Again this is the end my Quilt Studio will be on. Above where I will park my car. Now you can see why I am ready for my vacation!

I will try to keep you all in the loop this week with our vacation but the best way to follow along is on instagram.

Thankful Thursday #4

Welcome Friends today is...

So glad you have time to stop by. Again I just want to tell you how thrilled I get to read a little about what is going on in your lives and what you are all thankful for Thank You all for sharing with me.

Today I am thankful for hard work. YES, I am thankful that I can work hard and that I am working hard. 

A few weeks ago I shared with you all about a building that was going up on our property and that we had a crew and contractor come in and put it up. Well they are all gone now, so it is my husband and I finishing the building. 
Which by the way will house my new Quilt Studio!!!

I have also been dealing with a lot of I guess arthritis in my hands. Well let me tell you after swinging a hammer for two days I should by all rights not be able to open nor close my hands at all. Well they are a little stiff but I can use them. You can see the evidence right here because I am typing up a storm on this computer!! God is so good!! I just prayed about it and said God I am turning my fear over to you about this. 

I will share some progress here or for more you can check my instagram account HERE

I hope you all have a great week. Now tell me a little about what you are thankful for this week!

Note:
I may or may not be able to do Thankful Thursday next week we are going on vacation and will be in the mountains. I will sure try if I can get a signal!

Hugs and best stitches to you all,

Thankful Thursday #3

Hello friends today is Thursday so it is time for:

Today I am thankful that great weather. It was not bad over the weekend. I know you are thinking Uh! Well over the weekend we were supposed to have a hurricane but it never developed. We did get some rain off the system but no damaging winds which I am thankful for. 

Our weather that the good Lord has blessed us with has been excellent. I am partial to Fall. I like being outside and here in Florida it is the perfect time to do that. We don't have trees that change pretty colors (unless you like brown) but our temps in the Fall are to die for. 

So today I am thankful you can say for Fall.

Now, please tell me what you are thankful for right now.

Hugs and best stitches to you,
