Easter is coming!

and Bunny is ready! This is such a cute pattern. I really enjoyed making this. I got the pattern from Quilters World magazine April 2007.

Have a wonderful day!

Until next time...

Devastating to say the least

Yesterday I went and got some batting because all of the pieces I had were not big enough. I thought if I could get the quilt pinned that would be a very productive weekend. I found Quilters Fusible Batting by June Taylor. I thought this would be wonderful to use and save a lot of pinning. Everything was going well until I flipped it over while I was ironing and a part of it had wrinkled. Well, anyone that has used fusible anything knows it does not come apart that easy. To dissolve fusible it says to launder in cold water or rinse. I put it in the washer in cold water and then in the dryer. This is what I pulled out this morning. I have never had this happen to me before. The only thing I can think of that I changed on the machine was the stitch length. I went from 10 spi down to 6 spi. The only reason being is that I have had to rip them out before and it's not easy. So...I will go back to the drawing board and start over again. I will change my stitch back and see if it fixes anything. If that was the case though...why didn't all the seams come apart?? Oh well...

Things work out this way for a reason. I'm so glad it happened now and not after I finished it and gave it away. That would be traumatic for me.

I hope your Monday starts out better than mine did.

Until next time...

Progress for the day

All of the strips are done and sewn together. I can't believe I got so much done this afternoon.

I really don't like how the colors came out in the pic. In the bottom pic it really looks orange and it isn't. The top pic came out better. I think it was just the lighting and the angle. I don't think I will get any more worked on it tomight. There's always tomorrow. I'm just glad I was able to get this much done.

I hope your day was a good one, no matter what you did.

Until next time...

Today is National Quilting Day

The National Quilting Association is devoting this year to the Home. They have created a free project, Welcome Home, to honour National Quilting Day.

I went to JoAnn Fabric this morning and found some wonderful fabric to make my new grandson a quilt. I know I already have fabric for that purpose but, I have found a neat pattern and hope to be working on that this afternoon. I will make the other quilt after this one but, since it's been a while, I thought I would do something easy to get into my comfort zone again. I get all the things I need to do a project and get all excited about doing it and then, it takes me so long to get started. I have no idea why. Once I get going I'm fine.

Have a wonderful day!

Until next time...

New puppy

I didn't think it had been that long since updating this blog. Time sure flies. We got a new puppy last week and she is only 11 weeks old. Her name is Roxie. Needless to say, see needs a lot of attention. The best way to describe it is, she is going through the terrible twos. lol She is a wonderful puppy and I am totally in love with her. I have her outside quite a bit playing with her with her tennis ball which she brings back very well. I went to Pet Smart today and bought more toys so that she does not get board with the same things.

I am hoping to get on track with my projects really soon. I hope your weekend is going well.

Until next time...

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.


Until next time...
