Catch Up Ü

-
No blogging for a few days results in falling behind.

I got the material in for the Strip and Circle quilt. They had a quilt shop where they live help them pick out the fabric. I think they did pretty good. I am loving that I get to keep the scraps. Lets hope they over bought.Ü This was my craft for last week. I made 12 of these and then WH had a light bulb moment. Usually that means I am done crafting for me and crafting for him. He decided that the extra pictures he had of his oilfield things would make great coaster gifts for his oilfield buddies. I havent done them yet. I dont want to.They arent fun.


Arent these fun though? I hope to make more.SUPER easy if you are looking for a quick gift.
I have pictures of the bargello progress AND I started the silk quilt. I have remembered I hate working with silk. Too late.

Thank goodness for glue & crafting! That is one thing I can manage with the broken wrist...will post pictures after Thursday to show what I made as an exchange gift. Thanks a bunch for the Dots fabric link too! Think we should contact them to see if yardage is available! They are showing a 6 x 7 piece. Can't believe you could bring that up so fast! Have a great week - Dots - you gotta love 'em!

So you didn't need to scrounge around (I mean taking the time to lovingly shop!)for the fabrics for this quilt? What a nice progression of white to black fabrics. And I see that they also had the dotty one that is an integral part of the border. When I pointed out your blog to Wanda, she hoped that fabric was still available for you.

Have fun on it!

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w...

I bet yall thought I had forgotten to do a giveaway for my second blogaversary! I almost did I will be honest. Thankfully I remembered before the end of Feb!.....I also have some help Ü. A week or so back I got an email from Jamie who is part of the CSN promotion team asking if I would like to give away a gift to one lucky reader!!! WELL YA! I jumped on it. I had so much fun picking out a gift to give. They have some wonderful products. It took me almost a whole week to comb through their stores to find just the right gift! They have 200+ stores! I am thinking this may pose a threat to our bank account in the future, atleast once we get this house done! So grab a barstool and browse through their stores when you get a chance! So if you would like to win a set of these beautiful Certified International Bubble Amber All Purpose (Set of 4) glasses PLUS a goodie bag from me just keep reading Ü. To enter please leave me a comment on what kind of party would you use these for? I see these...
