The Dory Award

As I was looking for quilting blogs, I came across http://bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com/ . I saw this award and just had to have it. It is not to be given away it is to be taken. So... if you think you deserve this award, please feel free to take it.

This quote was taken from http://bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com/ who in turn got it from another blog:

"Because I can't remember squat, Tar created the Dory Award. (Do you remember Dory from Finding Nemo?) Unlike most awards passed around in Blogland, this one is not to be passed along TO others (after all, that wouldn't be very nice, would it?)...it is to be TAKEN. If you consider yourself eligible to receive the DORY AWARD, then by all means please take it and display it proudly on your blog! You know best if you deserve it! And if you do, WELCOME to the DORY CLUB! If you're not qualified to join, be thankful!"


If you have ever gone to the fridge and opened the door and forgot what you went in there for...
you deserve this award.

If you ever got up and went to a different room to get something and once you got there forgot what it was that you went there for...
you deserve this award.

If you ever went to the grocery store with a list and still forgot things on the list even though you crossed everything off as you went along...
you deserve this award.

If you let your son take your car to work at midnight and knowing full well he has to work until 8:30am but call him at 7:45am and ask him if he is working over time...
you deserve this award. (I did this this morning. We work for the same company and I start work at 8am so I know he can't leave before I get there. I am off today and was confused. lol)

I have done all of these things and some I can't remember. lol

Until next time...

I was not getting email

I figured out why I was not getting the comments in my email. It was disabled. lol I also found out I can't use the same email as my other blog to get them. It said it was already taken so I had to use my verizon email. We'll see how that works out. Hopefully I fixed the problem.


This post showed up in my gmail account. Now I really don't get it! LOL As long as I get it I don't care.

I am hoping to get started on my quilting projects tomorrow. It seems as though if I don't get an early start on something, it doesn't get started. It's difficult to try and start something at night after working all day. My brain doesn't want to get organized enough. When I come home, I eat my dinner, watch the news while doing my computer thing, by 7pm, you can usually find me asleep in the chair or on the couch or wherever I happen to be sitting at the time. So, seeing as I have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow, hopefully I can get started. If I remember correctly, the Rail Fence quilt didn't take all that long to do. I had it done in a couple of weeks but, that was not working on it full time.

Enjoy your day! The sun is shining here and is suppose to be a nice weekend. I hope so. I am so tired of being cold.

Sewing machine cover

When I received my 1st sewing machine, it did not have a cover. So I took the dimensions of the sewing machine and came up with this cover. I did cheat a little though, I bought the fabric with the batting attached to it already. I just had to put a backing on it. Another easy project. It fits my newer machine as well and really keeps it clean when not in use.

I found the original pic and this was done in 2005.

I think that's all for updating for now. I'm really getting tired.

Until next time...

Christmas Wallhanging

I did this at the Quilter's Hive. My local quilt store. This was my first applique project and once I got the hang of it, it went well. I took 2 pics so that you could see the details. Plus it is long. lol I enjoyed doing this also. I like learning new things like this in a small class. I had brought my sewing machine and everything with me to class and found I was the only one there to work on it with the teacher. I so enjoyed the one on one. She was so nice. She had her own projects she was working on but, was right there if I had a question about anything.

The classes at the store start in January but, so far I have not seen one I would be interested in taking. When I do, you'll know.

Until next time...

Card Trick quilt

When I got burned out with crocheting, I bought Leisure Arts #1297, Learning To Quilt, A Beginner's Guide. There are 25 lessons in the book. I did not do all 25. Just a couple.
I made this in 2003 from the Card Trick lesson in the book. This is the 1st ( and only lol) queen size quilt I have made. I like how it turned out for a first quilt anyway. I have shown this quilt on my other blog but, wanted to put it here on my quilting blog. This was an easy quilt to make but, not so was the quilting part. I did it on a regular sewing machine.

Until next time...

Garden Sampler

When I received my April 2007 Quilter's World magazine, and I saw this on the cover, I just had to make it. The book shows veggies as a border where I used flowers. Anything that grows in a garden I guess.

The one thing I neglected to do was to put a tag on it with my name and date on it. I'm the only one in the family that does this type of thing but, it sure would be nice to have a date. I have seen so many time where there is no name and no date and generations later nobody knows who did it. I'm not saying this will be around that long but, one would hope so.

Until next time...

1st post...

This is the fabric that I bought to make my new grandson a crib quilt. He will be born in June sometime so, this will give me time to make it.

I took a class last year at my local quilt store. We did the Rail Fence and I think it came out ok. I certainly learned a lot in that class.

Until next time...

I'm trying something new

I wanted a place to show the quilt projects I make. My other blog is all about crocheting and knitting and the items I make for charity.
We'll see how this goes keeping things organized.

Until next time...
