Happy Heart Day!!!

Nothing better than surprise heart pancakes on a cold school morning...
I had a beautiful photo with blueberry syrup, but it looked more like the St Valentines Massacre....lol

Hubby and I both got creative this morning. I left his card in the seat of his truck and came in to find mine hidden under my laptop. I must confess, I bought him a funny card with a sports car on the front that says "You drive me Crazy, but I love it". His card is all sappy and sweet.....AH!! sniff sniff.....

Errands today and then to the sewing room!! I WILL put the last borders on Weaver Fever...I still need a better name for that quilt....

Happy Sewing,
Nancy

Mother Nature.....

What is Mother Nature thinking?? We all woke up this morning to a perfectly glorious day. The temperature was 56F, Noon it was 72F and now it is 28F. What??
This morning I had the sewing room window open, now I am huddled under an afghan and it is SNOWING....

I spent all day today in the sewing room. I got 10 of the blocks completly finished. Those are little sticky dots on the blocks so I remember which way they go in case they fall off of the design wall. I love it when I have blocks to put on the design wall and finally see what the quilt will look like. It is so exciting.



Only 30 more seams to go and all 20 blocks will be ready to sew together.



If you are reading this and know my DH, please keep quiet as this is his Christmas present....

Happy Snewing...

I want to SEW.....

But today has become errand day.

My TO DO LIST -

Pharmacy
Courthouse
License Bureau
Grocery Store
Bank
Post Office

and I have tons of laundry to do.....

I WANT TO SEW!!!

I did get to some cutting and organizing of my Weaver Fever blocks. There are 10 one and half inch segments lined up here. The color dots have numbers on them so I keep them in the correct order with the correct piece to the left... this is a must be organized quilt. Doesn't look like much, does it.



My directions said to cut one segment from each strip set for each block. 10 blocks, 10 strip sets and I have this much left....



Hm.....I sent a quick email to Bev and uh oh....I am supposed to make 20 blocks. I think I will sew these together and then cut 10 more. If I cut more now, I KNOW they will get mixed up and I can't afford that.

I hope you all get to sew today. I get to drive around town....in the rain....not sewing....

Happy Errands!

Yikes, It's Friday already......

Where did the week go?? Monday was quilt guild and 5 of us stayed after lunch to start a new (for me) quilt pattern called Weaver Fever. Organization is a big part of this quilt. The big key to this quilt is ORGANIZATION. It took me a while, but then it clicked and I got one of the strips sets sewn. Yesterday I got the other 9 strip sets sewn and bought the June Taylor Shape Cut ruler. I was told this was an almost must to get as I will now sub-cut all the strip sets into 1 1/2 " segments and sew them together again. Apparently this ruler is the easiest way to get those small cuts done perfectly...
I will post a photo after getting the quilt top together...


These are the FQ's that Peg won....they are winging their way home from the post office as we speak...



Have a Happy Sewing Weekend.
