Who's teaching whom

I thought this was so precious, I just had to share it!

It's almost as if the dog knows the baby can't romp and play, so she's being very careful with her.

Did you notice the blankie? I don't think the mom's a quilter! And whose bone is that??


Sew forth and sew on...

Cool breezes

Three things to be happy about:
(1) a clean movie theater
(2) your favorite bookstore section
(3) a jogger at a stoplight

Well we asked for it, and here it is: cooler weather!  In fact, it's downright cold to me - last night I slept in my flannel pj's with two quilts on my bed!  I'm determined not to turn on my heat just yet.

I've been doing "behind the scenes" stuff off and on lately, one of them being gathering my fabric for my quilters' cruise next month with Bonnie and Pat (woo hooo!).

I'm collecting fat quarters but I've also been cutting strips from a lot of fabrics, for maximum variety.  I think I need to step up my pace though, the cruise date is November 3 - just one month from now!!!  I was telling a friend it will come and then be over so fast, my head will be spinning!

I don't think I've ever shown this quilt I did for a community service project...

I think this was made about 2-3 years ago, I'm not sure.  For some crazy reason I don't think I kept a photo of it, this is a scan of a photo taken by fellow guild member Elsie.

I made the birthday cake a la Mary Lou Weideman, and trees a la Gwen Marston/Freddy Moran.  I think it turned out well, it looked even prettier in person.  The quilt was donated to either Holy Cross or St. Mary's Hospital, at this point I don't remember - we've done so many community service projects!

Well, keep warm if that's where you want to be...  sew forth and sew on til later

A few more

Three things to be happy about:
(1) well-worn jean jackets
(2) faded flannel shirts
(3) banana bread baking

I don't usually go for banana bread but someone had a recipe on her blog for banana bread that looked good.  I don't remember who it was, but she put over-ripe bananas in the freezer to keep, then when she was ready to make the bread all she had to do was thaw them out.

I had to get right up when I woke up this morning - 8 o'clock appointment at the loctitian, eeeegg!  Anyway, I turned on Fons and Porter (6 am) and they were starting a new series using special rulers...

pretty table runner!

It seemed they were talking really fast on this show...  I saw an article on TV a few years ago that sometimes the program runs too long, so to fit it all in they run it in a compressed format, which results in a faster-than-usual show.  You can't hear it with your ears but sometimes my body reacts to the fast format... I feel really tense.

Thanks everybody for your encouragement on my crumb-along blocks!  I did three more - a star

a heart - I thought I'd see how it looked without a border...

and a nine-patch

For some crazy reason my photography hasn't been too clear lately, I don't know what setting I changed on my camera.  The star was photographed but I had to scan the heart and the 9-patch.

Well, sew forth and sew on til later... gotta grab some breffus so I can run!
