I DID IT!

I did it! I went out and took pictures, came right back inside to edit them and here I am to post them! Who knew it could work like this! With out further ado........

Sally's Quilt



Lucy's Quilt

Now if I could just get the living room floor cleaned so that i can lay these out and baste them, that would be great! I am also working on Mr. Carrie's Things. I absolutely love it! It has corn in it...alot of corn...he is a farmer...it matches, if I do say so myself! Maybe more pictures to come!

Hello?!?!

I did not fall off the face of the earth again! I have been waiting for the wind to die down. I mean seriously, I live in western Nebraska for Bob's sake! No where near the ocean or even large area's of water, what is up with the gale force winds we are having! Well, I am going to get some pictures today.....hopefully....the sun is out....so is the wind....hope I have more determination than the wind!

Lucy's Quilt

The top is done! It didn't turn out quite the way I thought it would. Its more square than rectangle but I still love it! I will post pictures soon.

What's been going on......

Not a whole lot! We went to Omaha to visit Sophia. It was a very laid back trip, for us! We did hardly any shopping......gasp! I did a little sewing while we were there. I used Blanche's (my mother) sewing machine. I have to tell ya, I am apparently a snob......about everything.....her sewing machine was ok, but definately not mine! Even The Man made snide-ass comments about it. Oiy.
I also got my small twister quilt, QUILTED and the binding done and its had its first washing! I LOVE IT! I so wish I would have made it bigger. Sally's quilt on the otherhand has the front and back done, I just need to get the living room floor clean long enough to sandwich it and baste it. I wish I could get it done during the day, but Betsy does.not.cooperate. She wants to help do everything! I did get Lucy's quilt cut out and some row's sewn, so I can cut it apart and resew it. I think its going to be really cool. Anyway, not a whole lot going on here. Hope you have a wonderful night.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow......

Apparently never comes for me! Here is a picture of Sally's quilt. I have the batting purchased and need to finish the back. Of course, I have to make it harder than it needs to be, but in my head it will be great!

(not a great picture, I took it on my phone, but I will get better ones when it is quilited!)

I have taken some classes the last few days. I took one on Saturday at my LQS. It was doing twisters. They are so awesome and so fun! I took Lucy to Hell-Mart on Sunday to pick out material for her quilt and have decided to do this pattern only bigger! I hope to make it look like the twisters are floating.....wish me luck!
Today I took a class on making t-shirt quilts. Not quite what I was expecting, but still good. (maybe for once I know more than they were teaching....)

Sally's Quilt

So I have been working on a zig-zag quilt for Sally. I found an awesome tutorial from crazymomquilts (http://beesquarefabrics.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-zig-zag-quilt-without.html) Sorry I don't know how to do links yet. Anyway, I have had some of this material since 2004 or 2005. Yeah I had high expectations even back then. Although, in my defense, I had a really shitty sewing machine. I will post some pictures tomorrow.

I Suck, I Suck, I COMPLETELY SUCK!!

I think the last post pretty much summed me up. I suck. Really six and a half months and no posts? I am irritated with myself. So I am going to do better. I will post whenever the urge strikes. Whether that is once a day or five times a day. I hate when people let their blogs go, and I am no better. I will do better.
