Quiltingcindy’s Weblog

Today DD kept wandering in and out of the dining room where I was fusing and cutting the pieces for my Miniature Booty Swap II. Finally, DD asked “Do you always smile when you are working with fabric?”

Do you smile when working with fabric?

Blocks are done and the last row is added. Waiting for September to see the borders that Pat is designing. I love this quilt so much I may just have to make another one when this one is all done.

Happy quilting

Where did Wednesday go? I had lots of great plans and none of them happened. Instead I cooked, cleaned, took the grand-dog to the spa and went to the grocery store.

Today I am unpacking my machine. Already put out the word, don’t ask me to do anything.

Happy quilting!

Betsy gave me this award. I’m so honored and just tickled to receive it. Thanks, Betsy. If you don’t read Betsy’s blog, you are missing out on lots of great quilting.

Now it is my turn. Some of my favorite sites have already received this award from someone else, so I will be choosing some of my other favorties. There are so many blogs that I love!

Saturday I went to my LQS that I just loved and I loved the ladies that work there. They were always so pleasant and helpful. It was hard to say good by. I had a store credit that I wanted to use before we moved. The shop owner was having a wonderful sale but I was good because I knew everything I purchased I would have to pack. Used up my store credit on fat qtrs and a charm pack.

DH and I leave for TN early in the morning. Today is filled with loading the uhaul, cleaning the apt, etc etc. Hope to have my machine unpacked by the weekend.

Hope everyone has a great quilt-y week!

As a child growing up, my brothers and I were not allowed to have fireworks as they made my dad have flashbacks as when he fought in WWII. As an adult, I have grown to love the fireworks displays. My favorite displays have been put on by the military. If you ever get a chance go watch the fireworks at a military display. Tonight we will watch the fireworks provided by the casino.

The living room and bedroom are done. Quilts are packed carefully in plastic totes to help protect them. The kitchen is half packed. I will finish it today and we will eat out of throw away dishes for the next few days. I’m trying hard to put off packing my sewing area but DH said I had to get started on that today or he would. hmmm, the man is living dangerously.

Have a quilt-y day!

Yesterday was my last time to sew with my quilting group. We had a wonderful time and it was so hard to say good-bye. I can only hope to find a group have as wonderful as these ladies. I got 4 more blocks made for my Quilt As You Go, Reversible Quilt.

Today I start packing. Yuck! I will start in the living room, then I will move on to our bedroom. I could probably pack everything in the apartment in 2 days but I have to save some quilting time. The good part of this move is I will be living in the same town as DD and her family.

Have a great quilt-y day!

Quilt As You Go 8 made 36 needed

Retired to my sewing corner yesterday morning and the next thing I knew it had been 5 hrs and I was stiff and starving. When I walked into my sewing area my eyes fell on some scraps and I saw a bag. I’m sure there is a 12 step program for my addiction to making bags but I don’t want to take it. For some reason I didn’t take a photo of the outside of the bag, I’ll show that tomorrow. This is the lining for the bag.

I pulled the fabrics for the Miniature Booty Swap 2. I may have to add a few more.

Have a wonderful quilt-y day!

Last week wasn’t very productive. I was busy looking for DH’s next job. DH works construction and the job he was working came to an end. I’m really sad to be moving on as I have made some wonderful quilting buddies. Anywho, I’m headed for my sewing corner as I feel the need to do something fun.
