whew!!

Ok, I got all the cutting done for my great nephews quilt (gosh, that makes me sound ancient). I'm not really old enough to have a niece that is having a baby. I mean really, those kids can't be that old.... Anyway, I have all the strips cut for the triple irish chain. It is supposed to finish 51x51. It's always fun to finish a quilt and see how close mine is to what it is supposed to be the finished size. I never quite get it perfect. Oh well....no one else in the family sews so they never know...

I also got all my house blocks done for my quilt guild BOM. Here is my 50's house block -




And my cowboy bunkhouse block -



And all 4 together...



Two more block number 9's and I will be all caught up.

AND look what came in the mail today!! Homespun magazine from Australia. And not just any Homespun, but one with MY PURSE in it. Granny Loz was my swap partner back last year and I blogged about the gifts she sent me here. Somehow Homespun saw the black and white purse on her blog and since it was a pattern from their magazine they asked if they could have a photo and feature it in their Mailbag...





I almost burned DH eggs trying to find the page fast enough.... DH wasn't impressed. He said "You didn't MAKE the bag, why are you so excited". Well duh! It's MY BAG NOW!!

I can't wait for 7 o'clock tonight. DH will watch FOX news and I will make a cup of tea and read the whole magazine...and then maybe start over again....

Thank you Lorraine. It was so nice of you to send it to me...

Gotto go check the Rock Star. His GIRLFRIEND is here and they are in the music room (with the door open), but I still pop my head in every now and then...after all he is only 16..and we all know how 16 year old hormones are!!!

Happy sewing,
Nancy
