Productive Week

-
My Strips and Curves Strata's Belive it or not the first cut took me an hour! I was so nervous.


The first row! I hope to accomplish the second and third rows this weekend. It looks like there are 6 rows in this quilt.My goal will be to have this finished by the middle of jan. Binding and all.
I am halfway through with the bargello.Yay! I just started the third panel out of 5.Each panel has about 10 rows.

This however was the biggest pain. Definitely not a hard pattern but that silk unraveled faster then I could clean it up. I used a whole bottle of fray check. I cant wait to quilt it this week though.

What is your opinion on backing? I am thinking a really deep brown or red Kona Bay. But then I just am not completely sure. I know I will use silk batting but the backing has me stumped.

What beautiful silk colors - & you are one very patient quilter to work with such touchy fabric! Excellent job...being partial to reds, that might be a nice choice for the backing. IMHO! Have fun with the quilting - look forward to seeing the completed project!

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

Ice Road Truckers and a 20

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
