Pay It Forward

I just signed up to play at Linda's blog. So the first 3 people that sign up here will get an original handmade....well maybe not original....but it will be handmade by me, gift within the next 365 days. I'm hoping that the procrastinator in me won't wait till day 361 to mail them out. Anybody wanna play?????

One of these ones........

I mean lots of these ones are not like the others......aarrgggggggg I sewed them wrong....no wonder it takes me so long to get these together. Judy does it in 12 hours....puts together a gorgeous quilt. It takes me 1200 hours and I still don't get them done. I have 3 more to frog but I'm done for the nite.

busy with potter

I'm reading Harry Potter....trying to get it read before someone spoils the ending. A little behind on the Hour a day challenge but not too far.

the twilight zone

I feel as though I've landed in the twilight zone today. I'm being invaded by these very large horse flies. I have already killed a dozen of them, trapped two of them in one of my windows. I have no idea where or how they are getting in here. Maggie, my attack kitty, lets me know they are here....she will not rest until they have been hunted down and slaughtered. I'm hoping to soon be released from this strange land.



I had to go to BJ's for a few things and I saw this cute table that I thought would be good for my embroidery machine. I got this rolling cart to try and help myself get a bit more organized. It sometimes seems pretty hopeless at times.

I am progressing on the HAD blocks....moving along quite nicely.

Maggie

I'm a bad blogger

I just realized that I haven't posted anything new in 3 weeks. I can't believe how fast the days fly by. I'm working on Judy's hour quilt. My penguins are sitting waiting for some wool to be felted. I did machine applique a dresden plate block...a little funky but I like it. I have another block ready for some buttonhole stitching. I dyed some fabric that I didn't like and now love. I'm using it in the hour a day quilt.

socks and penguins

Instead of loading that quilt on the frame I started knitting a pair of socks. And to procrastinate on the quilt even further I cut out a penguin from wool. I went to Joann's on saturday to pick up some blades and a new rotary cutter. While there I spotted this penguin wall hanging. My cousin's wife is crazy about penguins so I thought it would make a cute gift for her.

next quilting project

I'm going to put this thimbleberries quilt on the frame next. I was thinking I would do baptist fans on it.

That's Cally checking it out.
