Black and White

Well, as I said last time I am working on a black and white quilt for a friend and today I can say I have all except three blocks complete all in the midst of my sweet hubby working on helping me get organized in the sewing room. I think if I can work in there this week like I am expecting to I will be able to get it completed and made into a top before the end of the week.I have to say I do love the flying geese method I learned from Eleanore Burns. They come out right every time I just wish I had the formula so I could make them for any size I want to make. I will post some pictures of this one when it is a top.
I had thought I was getting my room all straightened out and then I went in there today after not being in there in two days. Oh, my I still have a long way to go on the whole organization thing. I feel like I can do this, even though I must admit organization is not my strong point ever. I am excited to see the future even though there are problems in my today's. I am looking at the things wrong and making the effort to change them.
Have a great day!!!!!

Quilt for a friend

I have been working on a black and white quilt for several months now and I am still working on it. I really thought it would be complete by now. I have had quilts that were trouble in the past, but this one has been the worst ever. I am making 24 squares, 12 of one kind and 12 of another. I have yet to complete the first 12. I worked on them today and I was up to the last four half square triangles. I started to put them on and realized that I had made a mistake and I had to go back a round and redo them. So instead of finishing the first 12 squares I am not there yet. I have them all redone now so I just have to put the last four on. I am down to 6 to go. Such a frustrating day. Such a day such a day. I did however complete the projects for the classes I am teaching. I will need to make two more for the next set of classes. I have students for all of the classes I am working on this month and they are all very excited about them.
Have a good evening and I hope to be back soon.

What is going on!!

Hey, I have been out of commision for the last few weeks so to speak. I have seen a couple of Dr.'s and had X-rays and spent lots of money. Then I came to the conclusion that they were not making things any better and took it into my own hands. I seem to have a sprained knee and I am doing some threapy exercises to see if it will get better. Sure enough it is, but still haven't gotten on the computer.
I have done a lot of sewing and gotten a wall hanging and some gifts for my family made. I have pictures but with the new camera I have not figured it out yet. I mostly need to get it in the same room with the computer, and haven't yet. I will make every attempt to do that this week and get them posted here.
I have taken a class in blogging and learned some great things. I will be making some changes on the blog too in the near future. I work tomorrow night so it will be later in the week. I do hope all of you will have a wonderful week and come back soon to see the photos and the new stuff.

Days since I was on

Well, I have been busy with work and I have also been reading too much. LOL I have enjoyed ii, but I seem to forget my resposebilites and the things I want to do and need to do. I have started six little bags for my girls. Two for a daughter who lives with me and two each for my grand daughters. I will try to finish them tomorrow so i can get them in the mail for Valentine. I am also in a birthday exchange and I have it cut and half made for the next one. I must finish it and get it in the mail. I have no idea how long it takes to mail to Canada.

Super Bowl Sunday

Well, I have been watching the game and enjoying it as well as looking at the blogs of many of the new friends I have on line. I have much to learn about blogging and I am enjoying the lessons I am taking with Chris. I have been so busy I have not gotten to read all of the lessons yet. I will try to get one of the lessons read tonight and them maybe tomorrow I will have some time to post some photos of the stuff I have been so busy working on. I have been making quilted bags and not quilts right now. I do need to make one as a sample for the next class I am teaching in March. I have discovered that if I have time to make samples more people sign up for classes. I have known that would be the way things would go if I could just get ahead enough to make the samples. However my boss has a bad habit of giving me a class two weeks before it is going to happen and then I am in the middle of another project so I don't get the sample made and no one signs up for the class. I am loving the three fabric challenge I am working on too. I had no idea I could ever make a art quilt and it is exciting to try one that is a challenge. Three fabrics is hard.
Well, I have to go for tonight so I will like I said try to get some photos on the computer so I can post them. I have just gotten a new camera so I am still learning it. Have a blessed day!!!

New little project

I have been working on a little project today that will be done in a day or two. I will post a photo when it is complete. I quilted the two sides of the bag that I am making today and did some sewing on the ribbon that will be an accent. I also created a couple of tabs to add to it. I have some great star buttons that I will put on it when I get finished with it. I used the cutest fabric that is floral and zebra strip. You will have to see it to understand.
Well so much for today. Later ladies.

No Progress

Well, I made no forward progress today, however I feel better and I got up and got dressed for the first time since I went to the Dr. on Fri. I even got in the car and went to the mailbox. I thought about walking there, but it was cold and I was afraid it would take too much out of me. Of course, I thought well if I'm in the car anyway I guess I can go get some coffee.
I didn't get any quilting done, but I did have a good time this evening with my girls. They did girls night at our house tonight and I watched them play games. They played Buzz Word and it was fun to watch them. Tomorrow I will get out the Three fabric challenge and work on that and the black and white quilt.
