I can NOT believe I've let my blog go for oh so long. I do know I've been busy. March...hmmm I did finish Buddy's quilt for his b.day and 3 other UFOs. April...sigh...April was a bad month. My Resolutions for April were;
Chocolate star (just top)
CASA quilting (5)
I Did manage to quilt all the CASAs...I didn't get pictures of them - Some are gone to other guild members to do the binding...some are all done. I hope to get a picture - but they do need to go to CASA for there are children waiting for them. We have plenty of little children ones...now we are working on ones for like 6-9 and older. Teens are the hardest to do for. But we hope that one teens finds in his/her heart that someone cares about them.
Bright houses turned into Bright Ghetto. I just love a fun name
This was a fun swap on Scrappy Quilters Anonymous. At first I wanted them all to be the same color...say BLUE...but now I'm so pleased that I was out voted. I love it! I see a few goofs in the picture - but Hey - I'm not Purrfic. I have now add the quilting of it to my May Resolutions. Another project was my Chocolate Star quilt from at LEAST 2 years ago. I'm up to the borders now...Yet again - added to May's resolutions. Then just for the fun of it...and since it was last month UFO project for another group that didn't get finished - I have a Double Wedding ring - with all the melons done - from at least 4 years ago that I need to work on. OHHHH and NOT on the list is my Candy Bar Challenge for a retreat in June.
Now add in going to the Paducah Quilt show - and you have a very short month of April...
OH did I forget to add...
I have a new addition to my quilty family. As some of you know I've named my sewing machine Laverne. So for years Laverne and Shirley (that would be me - my name is Shirley) have sew and played together - - Nicely I might add. And so - I'd love for all of you to meet Squiggy
Squiggy - meet my friends. Some of my group friends have taken on one of my traits...Nagging. They said I had to blog about my adventures with Squiggy. (get it...Laverne, Shirley, Squiggy) Squiggy arrived last Friday night. This week we have been getting to know each other. I know I have a big learning curve from the machine I had before and the "Freedom" I have with Squiggy. Within this week I have quilted 5 CASAs (not on my resolution list...WHAT was I thinking??) I think we are doing ok. We have tested the waters from using bottom line in the bobbin and so fine on top...to Bottom line and King Tut...can you say LEARNING~ Yesterday we made headway. Tomorrow I'll use some prewound bobbins that came with Squiggy and some King Tut...We will see how we do. Well - guess I need to go do something - now that I have my SQAers off my back and I'm caught back up on Blogging.
Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day...
