Much needed Rain

14 Aug 2010

It has been so hot and humid that the rain we had today was welcomed.  We had planned on going on a 30 mile bike ride with our biking buddies, but the rain ruined that plan.  Instead, we all met at our house and made pizza.  It was fun just sitting around visiting with everyone.  I do hope we get to ride in the next few days.  We are training to ride 70 miles in September.  We need to ride a lot before then !

Quilt progress

12 Aug 2010

Spent a wonderful week at Norris Lake and also got to work on Chelsey's wedding quilt.  Just 2 more sections to go.  They are huge sections, but at least the end is in sight.  This is a paper pieced pattern by Judy Neimeyer.  It's huge, 90 x 90  .... The pattern is called Cactus Rose.  I can't wait to get to the part when I get to start assembling blocks.

I'll post pictures when I have something to show. LOL

Dang jacket

29 Jul 2010

Well, I put the jacket together and it looked great....until I tried it on.. OMG !  It has some issues.  There is way too much fabric under the arms, and there's a hump in the back!   I think I will be going to see my friend Debby who is amazing at altering garments.  Dang, this is disappointing.

Quilted Jacket

25 Jul 2010

I spent most of the afternoon working on a quilted jacket.  I finished quilting it and decided to put it together with my serger.  I ran into a snag and had to frog.  I'm hoping I didn't ruin it !  The sleeve is a little wacky....  I'll post pictures when it's finished.  Wish me luck !

Wow, It's been awhile

24 Jul 2010

Oh man, I can't believe it's been 6 months since I've posted anything on my blog... How did that happen?  Well, I'm now going to make a mid year resolution to blog at least 3 times a week.  

Today, was hard.  My best friends sister passed away and today was her memorial service.  The memorial was really wonderful, but it was so hard watching my best friend hurting.  Her sister was an amazing person and will be missed by everyone.
