Turtle Trax Too

Can you guess why! YIPPIEE I am on my way to Sears right now. Our House in Alaska is CLOSED!!!!!!!

This is getting SO exciting! Look at these wonderful fabrics Beatrice sent me that she is using... I love them all but especially those dark browns. If I havent said it before let me say it again. THANK YOU ladies for playing with me. I actually am excited to quilt again. Believe it or not I am having as much fun as if I were in an actuall class! Ofcouse the last class I was in was minus Jody and I didnt get into trouble even once! I was quite tame from my normal trouble making self.

Fabric group! Ruthie has sent a picture of hers. Its going to be GORGEOUS! I still havent gotten out to pick the rest of mine yet. Yes I think I may be loosing my touch.Lol.I usually can put things right together, but not this time. I have been very busy this weekend. I think by friday I may have pictures of the big reveal! Little As room is just missing a couple things that should be here by then. Of course it will still be missing doors and flooring but those things I cant do. But I wanted her room put together for her to see. That means I have to tear it right apart again but I DONT care.Lol I also may MAY be happy dancing tomorrow. At this point I am not holding my breath.Lol ENJOY!

No not that lol. I wish. Still stupid hold up. BUT good news just the same! The 12th person has signed up for the mystery! Yippiee! Welcome Lunachance, I am so happy to have you along this mystery journey.Ü. So IF you have your material ready and you are ready for your first step just email me a picture of your fabrics and I will send your first step. Dont feel rushed. I have only got one piece to my group of fabrics. It smacked me today at the fabric store and screamed TAKE ME HOME! Well I am pretty sure it said that. Im not going to share yet until I find the rest. It may just be screaming to be put into something else. I am not sure yet. Tomorrow I have the whole day to myself. WoooooooooHooooooooo. My kiddos are going to an all day music festival. Skater boy has been told to bring his guitar too so he can play with some of the groups. He is super excited. I was told by the kids friends to come watch. When I told them I wasnt really into it they told me oh you should really go! T...

All but 1 spot is taken! If I can fill that slot then I can send out the first set of instructions! Are yall ready???? Im not.Lol. But I am hoping by the end of the weekend to be ready. Its weird not having a stash with me. I usually have such a good idea of what to pick or which direction to go. Not this time. This time I feel like my head is spinning in a LOT of different ways. Not that that is a bad thing.Lol So if you know anyone who wants to snag that last spot just send them my direction!

One of my favorite everyday blog reads is Inside the Shell. She has been taking photograhy classes and has posted some of the most AWSEOME pictures. I fell in love with this one. I think because we both look like we were in the same mood! Anyways she so kindly gave me permission to post this pictures so I could share. I LOVE this phot and THANK YOU! http://turtlepress.typepad.com/insidetheshell/ She has a wonderful blog and always has the most wonderful turtley things!

Knowing I had a TON of sewing in store for me for this house I was really attracted to this. Today I had a bed cutain for Little A to make. The edges all needed to be trimmed in bias tape. 9 yards of bias tape...... Despite a little bit of dificulty getting it into the silver part the rest was exceptionally easy AND it really really worked. In like 10 minutes I had all the bias trim I needed. I had read just as many negative comments as positive so it was a 50/50 chance I would like it. I think it really is important the type of fabric you put into it. I have seen some reviews where the fabric didnt look like it would hold a crease very well. So I am giving it an A+. Littla As room is starting to really come together.Ü
