Working Hard Ü

Bargello progress. This is definitely a tough one. BUT I am so happy with the challenge. Its been a while since I have made a bargello. I cant belive I am going to say this...I have missed the challenge!

Here is the orange strata.Didnt Jody do a wonderful job picking out these fabrics?

Gracie is hard at work helping me too. Ü. After I labeled all the fabric and cut my strips I layed them in order on the table. Labeling them and then having someplace to hang them has saved my bacon a few times.I dont know if anyone else does this but I always have a second quilt going. I never make one at a time. It pushes me and I get so much more accomplished. You will see this one at the bottom.Jealous arent ya.Lol. Without these graphs I would so be lost. I started peicing strips this morning and I only have three done, 44 to go!This is the quilt I fifnished this weekend. Well the top I finished this weekend. Jody do you recognize it? Can you see what changes I made to the pattern? This quilt is for a friend that got married over a year ago! That is bad. Soooooooo bad.
After work this friday I am hoping to load this one. Yup I am working on Friday. I have 3 quilts to quilt.

Yup!! Love what you did to the mystery quilt--and what's her name will love it too---I almost typed her name--is it a surprise? The bargello is TOO much work!! If it wasn't designated, I'd whine for 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
