TAKIN' A BREAK!!

Hey Everybody,

Just a quick post to let everyone know I'm taking an extended break for a while to catch on some things - mainly my sanity!!! - and hopefully will be back ASAP!! Working on a few important things for some friends and will post pics when I'm done.

Forever Quilting!!!!!

TISSY ;-)

COLLARS AND CUFFS

Gotta love those mens shirts huh??? Even the sashing I used in these blocks is made of recycled mens shirts. When I was a newbie,(Ha!!!! Many years ago...mmmmmmmmm) whenever I took apart a shirt, the collars and cuffs would go in the trash (YOWZA!!). Of course, that was a waaaaaayyyyy long time ago. Now the collars and cuffs go in the STRIP bag to be used at a later date. It's so much fun!!! Mens shirts are sturdy and soft and make quite a cozy quilt. Winter is coming and snuggling in a quilt in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and cookies....ummmmmm... what could be better? I can smell the chocolate chips now!!!

Stitchery???

Normally I do not do stitchery. Mainly because of my very poor eyesight and the strain being so awful...but Chitter Chatter Designs
http://creativityamongstchaos.blogspot.com/ has the sweetest, cutest stitchery for their free block project this year for a baby quilt and I just had to try and make a go of it. Even though it is taking me FOREVER, I think I'm doing an okay job of it. There are only 4 more blocks left to go in the series but you can buy the whole project or individual blocks for a very small fee if you've missed the first few blocks. Go on over and have a look! I promise you will not be able to resist it even if you aren't into stitchery.

LAZY GIRL!!!

I just want to make a quick post because I have been sooooooo lazy about it lately. I actually have been working on stuff but the summer months are just soooo buzy and I have dial-up and (yeah) you know. I should be back to normal in a few though!!!

Happy Quilting All!!!
