Changes

Thought as long as I was in the mood, I would change the layout a little. Hope you are all well with that. I spent some of this afternoon preparing some Dear Jane blocks. I have two rows of that quilt done. I am using Inklingo to do the sashing. I think it will be big enough not to need borders, but will look at that when I get a little further on this project.

I think I need to finish a few of these projects before I start another. I am also working on a challenge for the St Cloud Quilt Group. We had to draw a crayon and use that color somewhere on our wall hanging which will be 25 inches square. The other rule is that some of it be paper pieced. I have the background paper pieced and am appliqueing over that. I have the design ready and some of the applique done but need a little help. That help will be from Cousin Pris in Chicago when I go there next week.

Sooo long

Wow, I can't believe that it has been this long since I posted on my blog. Hang in there, I will get a picture or two and a few more comments soon.

Another Mn Shop Hop quilt done

Well, just the top is done, but I finished this a couple of months ago but didn't have it photo-ed. Is that a word? Well, anyway here is the post of that quilt top as well. I have a close up of one of the blocks to post as well. Enjoy.

Quilt is done

I finished the Block of the Month quilt from Gone to Pieces quilt shop in Kimball and finally got a chance to photo it. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. There was a bite of wind out there today so the pictures are not the greatest but it is finished and published.

Fishing

I golfed pretty well this morning and then did some running around town, got my nails done and got home in time to put the final two borders on that quilt top. It looks really good, no picture yet, as it is too big to hold up and there was too much wind outside to hang it on the clothesline for photos. Maybe tomorrow.

Norb and I went fishing this evening and had a great time and success as well. I got my limit and Norb got a half a limit. I have 5 or 6 that were 3/4 of a pound to 1 pound. We weighed a couple with my Weight Watchers scale when we got home. It was a great night. It's a little after 10 and all the fish are cleaned and soaking in salt water in the frig, the dish washer is going and now a little time for computer.

Haven't been here for a long time but just got done eating at our church festival and now will be putting the borders on a quilt I started in January. It is a block of the month project and I am finished with the blocks and sashing so hopefully between working at the festival and golf tonight I will be able to get the borders on and finished. Then, decision time, will I quilt it myself or take it to a long arm quilter. Just don't know.

The quilt shop in Kimball will rent out their long arm quilting machine and that might be an option also. I will have to take a class on how that operates but that should not be too difficult for me to get done. I know that will all have to wait until fall when I can't golf three or four times a week.

Wow, I got out alive and I actually found what I was looking for. I did have to have lunch when I was done. All that digging got me hungry you know. Then I had Norb adjust the sewing machine. I have been haveing trouble with the height of the machine on the lift since I got the new machine. After a couple of phone calls to my friends at the sewing center, we got it figured out. Then I put the borders on and it is ready to sandwich into a quilt. Then a little machine quilting and off to club next month for show and tell. Thanks Deb for being on call in case of emergency. I know how my friends are. If I know my friend Eve would ever read my blog, I could have put her on allert also.
