Okay...not sure if staying home is good for the budget!  Went shopping online at Fat Quarter Shop to join in (a little late) on the "Another Year of Schnibbles".  I have a little catching up to do but have plenty of charm packs to use up.  Then I shopped at an online fav of mine, Homestead Hearth. Got some great deals and I already got confirmation that they have both been shipped!  
Off to get my hair done today...told them short and fun!  We will see what Heather comes up with.
Finished the "kit" quilt yesterday.  Boy is it larger than I thought...can't wait for others to see.  I also laid out the CWBOW (Civil War Block of the Week) and started sewing that also.  Great to get stuff accomplished.  k

Well it is spring break here and almost Easter.  I've noticed that my friends have had little posted so I thought I should step up.
I have already been to the public library and checked out 21 books (and paid my $12.00 fine...oops).
Trying to finish up the Civil War Quilt from BB.  I had the sashing and 4 blocks for the corners to do.  Mucho work.  I decided to go with the nine patch blocks and strip sashing.   I used up quite a bit of my stash, but boy that took lots longer than I thought.  Then I was trying to decide on the corner blocks or the 4 extra ones to make the setting come out right.  I decided on something simple and I embroidered (or am embroidering) the date/name/and other info about the quilt in the middle of the blocks...then I get to lay it out and sew.  I am thinking this is going to be one huge quilt!
Pups are very happy mom is home...though they don't know they will be getting baths on Wed....shhh don't tell them.  k
