Sunday Report, 5-31-09

I haven’t posted a stash report for the last couple of week, because I’m still working on the same quilt.  Still quilting on my 9P & stripe quilt, but just remember, it is a stash project!   You can see the progress on it in every post since mid-May.  I now have approximately 31.25 [...]

More 9P & stripe…26.5 hours into it…y’all are going to get tired of seeing this one.

I’m not sure I am making all the right design choices…but, this is a learning project for me.  A project to expand my skills and challenge myself, so I’m ok with that.  For example, I’m not sure the large size [...]

Quilting Feathers, Feathers, & More Feathers

First, I cannot let Memorial Day go by without stating my thanks and appreciation for all the brave men and women that have served, or do serve in the armed forces, to afford the rest of us the wonderful freedom that we enjoy.  So many sacrifices they have made, many the ultimate sacrifice.  And thank [...]

Crosshatching finished!

Yay! I got done with the crosshatching and SID.  Some of it could be better, but at this point, I’m just happy to be done with it.  A better woman than me might have picked some of it out and redone it, but I’m not that woman.  This quilt is going to go on my [...]

Crosshatching My Life Away…

Sorry, not much time for blogging…I’m too busy crosshatching.  I estimate that I have about three hours left til I’m done with that part.  Then, all the straight line quilting will be done…including the SID.  That’s when the fun part gets to start…stencils…and feathers….I can’t wait to get there!  I have almost 18 hours into [...]

Sunday Reporting…What Was I Thinking??

When I said to myself, “crosshatching would probably look good on both the 9P blocks and the stripe blocks, why didn’t myself say back to me, “Well yea, it will look good, but it’s going to take you at least half the rest of your life!  Are you nuts?”  And that is assuming that I [...]

I Spied a Toad!

Or maybe it’s a frog…but I couldn’t resist a quick post, after seeing Wendy’s blog today.  Seems we have something more in common than quilting…lol.

Mine was a gift from my boss.  He got for me in China, when he was there.  He always brings little gifts back for all of us, and since I’m so [...]

Prom, Plantings, and Quilting

Yesterday, I finished the quilting on my customer’s butterfly quilt.  She said she liked it.  I sure hope so.  She is planning on putting it in an area show.  It isn’t a judged show, but has viewer’s choice awards. 

I got some of my planting done yesterday.  Since I can’t have real hens & chicks, I [...]

What to do, what to do…

when there are so many thing on the list that need done?! A quick run down of things that all need some attention this weekend.
First, today is “dirt day”.  Hubby is taking me to buy bags of dirt for my pots, and some plants if I want…maybe I will just plant herbs in them this [...]
