Went to Thimbles today. Wow was it packed! I only cut out today because of the "plug" issues...not to worry, I still got a lot done.
And yes Andy, I did have my machine in the car ;o) The man thinks I never sew on it. He is also known as Sir Quilt Dude, husband of our leader, Queen Pat.
I have a wonderful friend at school who is having her first baby and they know it is a girl. Her name is going to be Olivia. So....being a book woman I found Olivia the Pig fabric that goes along with the books of Olivia. She is a character with attitude! I am making Queen Thimbles pattern, Strawberry Pie. It is going to be great and I hope my friend will like it. Hope to quilt lots on it this weekend...maybe a picture will be coming soon. k
I have a long weekend and I need to sew. I want to sew....but will it happen? We shall see.
My in-laws are coming over for a cookout later today. Real simple food on the grill, salad, and munchies. Should be a nice visit. This is the first time they will see the new house.
DH and I have been unpacking forever it seems and I still see boxes. I am over it! By the time I get home from work, I am worn out to think about unpacking or cleaning more. It will get done, just not as fast as DH would like...oh well.
My sewing room is still a disaster area because it is the last to get attention. I do think I will set up the machine later...at least it will be out of the packing box! As for sewing...we shall see. I hear a bajillion 9 patches calling me....it is that many in you pattern Pat right??? heehee k
Well I finally was able to make it to Bad Melisa's to get the gift certificate my mom gave me for my birthday in August! What a treat to have it waiting for me. After moving and seeing all the fabric I have, it is hard to "justify" getting more..."well I had to spend the gift certificate dear". I got lots of goodies and was inspired by Sarah no blog and Gretchen to sew some bags. I got a cute pattern that uses the clear quilters vinyl. Something new to try. Bad Melisa assured me with this pattern I would be safe not getting a teflon foot. I think I was in a "French General" mood...That Moda man!
