Hi,
Today is cold and windy. Yesterday it snow all day but thankfully there wasn't as much accumulation as predicted. Today my grandson has a 2 hour school delay. I haven't been posting because I have been trying to setup my blog,but I have taken the time to look at other blogs. I did have some good times in the last couple of weeks. January 31st I went to a tea at the Yankee Quilter. I made a Valentine table runner and a small wall hanging. Barb and Sue made 3 different kinds of scones (yummy), lemon curd, and clotted cream. We had a lot of fun sewing and eating. Last Friday our guild, The Southford Quilt Guild, had a guest speaker,Jennifer O'Brien from the J.T. Trading Corp.,spray and fix aerosol adhesives(505spray etc.). She presented a truck show of quilts made with fabric give to her from her various travels. She also taught a class the following day on making landscapes from photos. I was looking forward to taking this class, unfortunately my grandson's pinewood derby was the same day.
Jennifer, however, gave a little preview of the class at the meeting that gave me some incite into her method of doing landscapes. I have made a few myself and I really like doing them.
I'm sorry I haven't any photos of my projects yet,I don't have a digital camera. However I am looking into getting one. I am having a problem with my blog buttons. All of them were working at one time, now some of them don't work. HELP!
I have been hand quilting every day for the last week. I am working on a Celtic
Table runner. It's machine pieced and hand appliqued.
Well that is it for now, Happy Quilting, E.

Good Morning,
Today is Thursday and right now it is snowing. Later this afternoon we are suppose to have some icy conditions. I have been working on some projects but I haven't made much progress. My fault though. I have been doing other things, like knitting a scarf, reading the Scarpetta Factor.
This Sunday I am attending a Tea at Yankee Quilt. At this Tea we are going to make a table runner. The group is fun and we laugh alot. Barb, one of the owners, makes scones, clotted cream, lemon curd, and other goodies. So it is eat and sew, two of my favorite things. I hope that I will have something done to brag about. I'll have to get a digital camera to take photos of my projects. Wishing everyone a good day.E

Good Morning,
Today is Tuesday which means I get to take my grandson,Connor, to swimming after school tonight. For a child who was afraid of the water a year ago, he has certainly come a long. I am so proud of him, he is swimming in the 12 foot section and is now starting to dive.
I also have an appointment today.
I am hoping to finish up 1 more place mat I owe my sister-in-law then I am hoping to work on a 1/2 finish table runner that would work for Valentine's Day.

As you can see I have been playing around with Picasa 3 but instead of putting one flower I put 3 different sizes. I am not daunted by this though, I WILL learn. HAHA!!!

SPRING IS COMING

 

 

Hi,
Here I am but not sure where this post is going. I am like a toddler tittering around but instead of walking I am trying to blog.
Today was a very raining day, beside cleaning and reading, I have not accomplished very much. I did a major amount of cleaning, throwing, and saving the last few days which is major for me because I HATE TO CLEAN.
I did have some fun on Saturday. I went to Yankee Quilter (Our Area Quilt Shop) for Yankee University. Yankee University is a once a month Saturday where Cheryl and Barb (owners)
present a new technique etc. After the demo of course I had to buy something, so I purchased backing and borders for a partially complete table runner. Other than straighten out some of the UFO projects I haven't done any sewing.
I also went to a family get together which I love to do. We eat and laughed all night.
Now I have to get down to business about trying to achieving my goal for completing some of my hundreds of UFOs. I am exaggerating it not nearly a hundred.
Well hopefully the next time I post I will have some positive goal news.
