Although I have not posted in awhile I have been working on my quilts. I finally finished the baby quilt that I was working on .I was really pleased that it turned out so well . I am making progress on my Grandmothers Flower Garden. I had 8 rows all sewn together and then decided to make some changes . I am adding a block to each row so the quilt will have 9 rows across and 10 down. I have added the extra block to 4 of the rows so far. I also have to have a partial block to each row, alternating from the bottom to the top. You will understand this more clearly in a picture. So far I just have 2 complete rows sewn to each other. I have started sewing together the 3rd and 4th rows.

I have not worked on my Grand Mothers Flower garden since the last post these are pictures of two quilts tops that I have had for a while and finally got quilted. I also have the quilt top sewn that I was designing in my last post . #1 picture is for my niece Jessica for her second birthday .# 2 this shows the top I making for a friend who had a baby this spring . # 3 I made the top for this picture over fifteen years ago, it go packed away and just recently I put it out and decided to tie instead of quilting it .

When I made my last post I didn't expect that I wouldn't post anything for almost a whole month. However, I have made a few changes in my life . As a result I spend less time at my computer, and more time outside . Biking or walking . Usually when I walk I walk the dog, and sometimes I walk on the beach, some time and walk a bit and stop to visit . Whatever variation , I am finding it much healthier.
I now have 37 flowers done. 4 complete rows, and a start on the 5 row .(almost time for another picture)
I have also been working on a couple of other projects . On Thursday of last week , I found a top that I had started a few years ago, I added one row to it . On Friday my friend Joyce and I tied that quilt.Another friend is going to bind it for me. I plan to give it to my niece for a birthday present .
Since Saturday I have been sorting through fabrics for a baby quilt for an Internet friend. I spent 3-4 hours in coming up with a design for the quilt using my EQ 6 (Electric Quilt version 6) .EQ is a software for designing quilts. I am learning to use it as I go along so it took me much longer than it should have to design it .
As if today I have 8 or 9 - 4 patch blocks completed for the quilt. They are smaller than my original design , so I am not sure how many blocks I need altogether. Either 30 or 35 . My time is up for today .

I spent about two hours working on my quilt on Monday evening . My computer was in the shop so I had to have something to do . I was able to sew en0ugh white hexagons together to complete 2 rows of flowers. That is 18 flowers . I have not worked on my project for the last 2-3 days , so I hope to do so, sometime on Friday . I don't have an new pictures at the present time.

I have decided to change the titles of my posts to Post plus number .It makes more sense than to say Day plus number , since I am not posting my progress every day that I work on it . As you can a few days again have passed since I last posted . I have a picture to show my progress. I have 3 rows finished , a total of 27 blocks. Soon I am going to think about sewing these rows together , and filling in the empty spaces. I have not done it so far because I am still trying to figure out how I want to do it . Before my next post I am going to try to take some time and use my "Electric Quilt " design software and arrange the hexagons in the pattern that I want the finished project to look like. ( I am stumbling with words here as I am not sure I am using the proper terminology)
