I am not talking about weddings :D
But today is one of those days when I have laughed, I have cried, and I have had many hours of myself which could be good and bad for all those involved in my life.
I love to sew and I have been working on a quilt I have wanted to do for so long. The Pattern is called Autumn Ablaze from Quilting Celebrations www.quiltingcelebrations.com. Its from the Fall 2012 magazine, this will also tell you how long I have been wanting to do this. See you all should believe me when I tell you this is a year all about me.
So that gives you an Idea of what I have been doing this past week, plus many others more. I have about 10 projects that I am always working on, I do tend to get bored with just one so when I see something I just jump right in and sew my little heart out. Maybe one of these days I will actually finish a project without putting it aside for something else... Nah that is to predictable..
I was taking some time off lately to spend it with my youngest daughters Danielle (13) and Emma (11) we did many things together over the three days off. I have been teaching both of my daughters how to sew, so I took them to the fabric store (we only have two) Compass Rose and Flying Geese. They did choose some fat quarters to start out, Emma wants to make a quilt for her doll which is turning out good. She looked through my stash and found a jackpot of already cut up two inch squares and has been sewing away. Danielle choose a lot of purples and is planning on making a disappearing 9 patch quilt. I am not the greatest teacher especially when I have my own projects to complete and a lot of questions to answer... but I did ok, took a few deep, deep breaths and answered as well as I could. Great news!! we all survived moms three days off..
So onto a busy week with Military Dr's working on my retirement and of course the normal weekly load of mom running everyone everywhere.
Have a great week!! talk with you all very soon.
