Another pretty day so far....

The sun is shining and it is around 58° and pretty nice. I got my hair cut today and it is really short. I hadn't had it cut in ages.

I finished the tabletopper I made at SQA it isn't very good but I am glad it is finished.

I am now making a year-round Christmas quilt with 2 blocks a month at QTS. I have 4 blocks finished. I am also signed up for the April doll quilt at the Board.

Not much else to write about. I saw some daffodils blooming today and my tulips are way up. I just hope it doesn't snow anymore. There are buds on the bushes and trees too.

American Idol wasn't very good last night some of the singers were way off and really off key. Some were good too but I have no idea who would get the door tonight. I don't watch the results shows because I go to bed at 9. LOL

Thanks for reading

Gloomy day but no rain....

This is a little pincushion I made for a swap over at Block Central it is only 4" across.

We have had rain all day Saturday and our back yard has two ponds LOL. But it is better than more snow.

I have been making meatballs some for spaghetti later and some for subs later this week. Have to get the buns first. Have you ever started talking about eating something and then you just have to go make it. That's what happened with the meatballs. I got the recipe at Pioneer Woman's blog. She is so fun and is a great cook. I also have a friend in Cincinnati - Lillian who is a great cook. I use her recipes all the time. Her blog is very informative and creative.

I can't believe this but I am not doing the schoolhouse block swap at SQA because they had so many color rules I would rather make my own. I would have had to buy a lot of new fabric. I am cheap when it comes to swaps like to use my stash. I hope they aren't upset that I pulled out. They are really nice.

And this is the doll quilt I made for a swap at the Board. I usually do applique but decided to do something harder.
Thanks for reading and hope your day is going well

Hey the sun's out ....yahoo!!

I made this potholder awhile back and plan to make a lot more. They are so much fun to plan out and make.

This is where I found the pattern.

I have been working on a new doll quilt for the swap. Just have to sandwich it, quilt & bind. I got Rhonda this time and she is a lot of fun. She writes quilting books and all kinds of tutorials over at the board.

I am also making a pincushion over at Block Central. These ladies are great and a lot of fun. These are some practice blocks for a schoolhouse block swap at SQA on Yuku. The only thing is they want the whole thing including the 6" block to be in all the same colors. Which is fine with me, I am keeping these anyway.

Haven't seen DD for awhile but am planning on it Fri or Sat or Sun. She had a dr.'s appt. this morning .
