I Spy Square Set

Good Morning! I didn't think my life could get any busier, but it has, lol. As some of you may know, my DH has been recuperating at my DD's house from major surgery. He returned last Saturday evening and I haven't stopped since then. He can take care of himself mostly, but I am helping him some. One thing he still can't do is cook; and remember, he cooks and I quilt! Well, my DS asked me to make a foil pocket last week. Yesterday, I decided that would make a good dinner. In the first place, I forgot how long it took to cut up the veggies, but it was pretty good, I think. Here is my simple recipe: layer a pan with foil; add 2.5 lbs of ground meat, season to taste. Add onion slices, cut up carrots, potatoes, squash, broccoli or whatever veggies you like. Sprinkle onion soup mix and Cajun seasoning over top. Layer foil over top. Bake 400 degrees for a hour and a half. Enjoy! For the whole recipe, check out my cookbook after I complete it. (It's been in the works for a while now, but I hope to finish it next year.)
I'm still working on square sets in my spare time. I had a special order for I Spy squares. The sizes are 5", but I also do 4". I'm posting a photo of one of the sets; each set will be different, though. I love to use these novelty squares in my I Spy blankies or quilts.

If you are interested, you can visit my etsy store, RaggyAnne, or e-mail.

I Spy charm 4 inch squares

There is a cool front here.  Of course, it's all of 85 degrees; guess that's good as it's been in the high 90s.  I'm thinking the A/C vent isn't working in the kitchen; I'm boiling some chicken and it sure is hot in there, lol.
I did work on the 4 inch squares.  Stopped at 48 different fabrics; I'm sure I have more, but didn't want to go digging.  Here's a photo of one of my listings:

What a year!

I don't believe I'll ever say that it can't get worst.  My DH had emergency sugery.  He's out of the hospital after eight days and is recuperating.  It's been a wild three years -- from the fire until this latest surgery.
I've been keeping busy watching DGDs, Meagan & Maddie, and working on I Spy squares.  I just listed three sets on etsy -- check them out!  My next project is to list 4" squares; I'm hoping to find 100 different prints.  I might be able to make it if I combine both boys & girls fabrics.  Here is a set I haven't listed yet.

This is a new day!

Hello again! I've been busy sewing and listing on eBay and etsy. I put together a quilt top from floral prints. I'm selling the squares as sets; I have I Spy squares, 1930s, and floral prints. The link to my eBay auctions is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300598690676?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
thanks for looking!

Square sets, fat quarter bundles, etc.

Hello! Here in southeast Texas, it's summer already. Where did spring go? My friend said next week will reach 101; the hottest for that day since 1911. Of course, it doesn't bother me too much as I stay inside mostly. And I travel in my air conditioned car, lol.
I've been busy cutting out squares and fat quarters to sell. I've listed some on eBay and have sold some in a quilting group I'm in. The most popular size seems to be 2" squares and 5" squares. If you are interested in any size or theme, just let me know. Here is a photos of some I've cut out. Oh, they are rotary cut by me in my smoke free and pet free home.
