Finally Pictures and an Opps

Well finally pictures of the completed Gratitudes top and the Very Pink Pause completed. I have had these two completed for a week or so but have not had the time to take the pictures until this evening.

I like to take the pictures when hubby is not home, he went over to visit his mother this evening so I snapped the pictures then.

I also realized I do have the mistake in the Gratitudes and will need to fix that before I quilt it. I should also fix it before I send a final picture to Judy.

USC had a great game last night, beat ND 44/24, soooo they are now second in the nation. If they beat UCLA next week-end talk is they can be back in the national title game. Way to go USC. If this happens this will be 4 times in 4 years. I will keep my fingers crossed and see what happens.

I hope everyone had a great week-end and I will post again when I get a chance.

New Project

This is the project I started on Saturday at my sewing group. I really did not need a new project but am at the point with the other two quilts that I really didn't want to haul them around to work on them so I started this. I do have an intended recieptant in mind, I won't mention any names incase she is reading my blog. ( She checks in from time to time.) You probably have guessed, the pattern is a nine patch/snaowball. I like the results, even though it is bright. I took the color combination from the focus fabric, therefore the bright pink and black. I must admit, I am not much of a pink person but the more I am working with it the more it is growing on me. Who knows, maybe someday I will like pink. Not much else, I am on a long lunch break, eating, catching up on the blog, and sewing. Have a great day.

So Far So Good

This is my version on Graditudes so far. I am liking the outcome. I know it is not a real good picture but the only spot I could think of to put the partically completed top to take a quick picture.

We are having and am predicted to have alot of rain this week-end so there will be much sewing going on in this household.

I have my sewing group meeting tomorrow a.m. so I will start another top. I think I am going to start on the black and pink nine patch/ snowball quilt I have been kicking around my brain. Oh I will post pictures as it progresses. I have an idea of what I want to do and who I am making it for. That means I will have three quilts going at once and three tops that need to be quilted. I best start doing some longarm quilting also. Thanksgiving is coming up so I will have a few free days to get caught up.

I made an appointment today to start my guitar lessons. The crazy thing is, when I called the guitar shop to make an appointment for the lesson my husband was there buying something for his guitar. The salesman asked me if I wanted to talk to him. What a coincidence. Karma? They know my husband very well at this shop and recognized my by my name. The salesman at the store was wondering if my husband was starting to take his personal calls at the store now.

I am going to close and will keep you posted on the progress of the quilts. Good evening to all.
