Granny Square Quilt Along from 2 yrs. ago

I thought I had a post on the completed Granny Square Aloong from 2 yrs go....So, I swiped mine off my FB page...

Updated Granny Along

 Made one in pinks during the "Granny Square Along" thingy. Had much issues when trimming time came as there was very little on the sides. Anyhoo, just came across a new to me blogger named Missy's Homemaking Adventures". I left her a comment, and she helped with suggestions. Her Granny block has the backgrounds cut at 2.5x3 and 2.5x5. Im hoping this works out, will see when I trim...

TRIMMED! and awesome! It worked, thanks to Missy!

Buh bye Hawaii..Hallo Brrrrrr (Missouri)

Made this for a friend who left her baggage (jerky husband) in Hawaii, and moved her and the kiddos back "home" to Missouri.  I used fleece on the back, cause I figure she will be extra COLD this winter! lol

New (again) sewing space

So, I moved Bessie the longarm back to her sunroom, and moved ALL sewing stuff into the back porch.  It seems cozy-er..I'm liking it..Alot!
This way I actually will have A/C and heat,now thats helpful.
Its been great to have an ironing surface right next to the sewing machine, and the cutting table also...I seem to sew faster, thats a good thing!
I bought a longer desk at Ikea for the PC and serger when I need it.
Oh, and the biggest advantage is I have a huge design wall! The sunroom had mostly windows...
Heres some pics...
