Quilts are calling...

So many quilting projects are calling....I think they must have the wrong number ! Argh.

The List of quilting projects just keeps growing. Uh-oh. I think we have already discussed, numerous times, the problems with items on "the List." Let's don't even go there. I need deadlines. Yeah, that's it.
It seems that stress is the power behind my heart beating, behind my breathing, my motivator. The things I can accomplish with a deadline.

Right now I need a deadline for this cold to end. I have been coughing for days. It feels like I am going to tear something loose inside. At this point it would be an improvement.

You can see that I have been working on new designs. Hmm, anyone out there see a connection here? New designs? NOT QUILTING??????? duh. This baby is called, "Make a Roux"

So its a Blurry Quilt

Don't complain about the lousy image, Dianne. At least you finally took the picture. That's my story and I am stickin' to it !! Husbands. Where are they when you need them? Oh yeah, earning a living, heh heh. I love applique but I am done for a while after doing this baby. I am appliqued out. My favorite part about this quilt was the opportunity to use gobs of different stitches that are in the machine. Definitely expanded my horizons in the world of stitches. Now, will I ever use them, again?

Quilt is Finished, Free Pattern Offer

(9 miles)

The wedding quilt is done. I do have to make the label, but, other than that, it is a TA DA. Still no photo, I know, but I will work on that. It is 2:30 in the morning and I am falling asleep as I write.

I do have one bit of news -- our prototypes for our newest products are here!!! The first person to email me to ask what one of the items is, will get a free pattern. Good luck.

Quilts? What is that, exactly?

Wow, it seems like forever since I have had time to make a new quilt. This does not mean that I do not have several to finish, however. For the first year or so of my quilting "career," I did not understand what folks were talking about when they mentioned, UFO's. Ha. It has not taken me long to figure that one out. I have a list....

The list will have to wait. My son has just announced his engagement, and the wedding date. August 29. Yes, of 2010. And, as part of their ceremony, there is a quilt involved. And, guess who is going to be making it. In my spare time....Now to go buy the silk, and design the quilt, and make it, in between shows, of course. Let me apologize, now, for my future slighting of the blog since I feel neglect in that area coming on, BIG time.

I began my practice walking (4 miles yesterday, 4 miles today). Please don't forget to make that donation that I know you were intending to make. $5.00 per raffle ticket. We are soooooo behind on our fund raising. Usually we are done by now. Instead, we have 25% done, GULP. The link is at the bottom of the page, click on the picture. Thanks, in advance!!!!
