HAppy Birthday! to ME!!!

Quilting...

I have a link below that I came across and want to participate in...will post more information soon...

Changing backgrounds...

While as you can see I have done it again!
I thought I would go with this combo and I like it...
I have a few photos to add while I get back to quilting...I don't think I will ever get done, but that is the fun of it...I always have the next one ready to go...Happy Quilting!

I noticed that I did not post that I finished this quilt...well I did and I am already on to the next one...I have it loaded up on my quilt machine...so far I am half way done...I still need to make the binding. I usually do at the time of making the quilts so the fabric doesn't go into another project...but I didn't this time but I am sure things will work out...

I am so into getting my UFO's done...that is not to say that I don't have some pieced together ready to be sewn into a quilt top...I still need to look at it and focus on the border and binding...

I must add that my crock pot is working like a champ! I just love the way it cooks and lets me do as I like...LOL I one I am using is my 4 th one ...need I say anything more...Love it!

Have A Great Day!!!

A few photos of the directions that I participated in a Quilt Mystery and was the first to get done...What Fun! the photos shows a few of the steps to complete in this challenge and we had to show these pics of our progress...I may do another one in the future...will see...

Happy Quilting!!!

Well, today I finally decided to get this one quilted...I have it half loaded on my quilting machine.

The binding is made an ready to attach...a good evening project. I love the colors of this quilt and I will be making it again in a different color palette...Happy Quilting.

I came across these photo's of beautiful quilts that have inspired me to try and make...I have most of the fabrics in my collection but still need a few more...LOL I guess that means SHOPPING ---yahoo! I can always go shopping at my local shops and never get tired of going there...

I will post photo's as to the progress and completion of any quilts that I make...So Happy Quilting!

I do so Love the winter time for its beauty and rebirth that follows in the Spring...
When the air feels so clean and fresh...with a nip of frost on your nose...
I walk down this road many times with a dog or 2...looking for movement in the trees...
You never know when a deer or rabbit etc. may cross the road...
I have seen a few joggers on my treks here...And at the end I know a hot cup of chocolate is waiting for me...makes this walk so wonderful...

This is a challenge that I seen on another blog and thought it was awesome...I wanted to share this with others who may not have the chance to see this blog because we all need a little encouragement...Happy Sewing...

A challenge
Oh...what have we started now. Do you notice this badge and a list on my sidebar. It all started with some comments on Kris's blog. Challenging each other to finish up some WISP's (Work In Slow Progress or UFO's) I had already an agreement with Hanne and Stina to do the same.

And then the snowball began to roll................

Kris and I started to chat about making this a worldwide blogger challenge. So if you want to join the rules are:

1. Participants will try (we know life interferes sometimes!) to complete at least ONE craft project by the end of each month. This can be something you've had partly done for a while (a WISP!) or a pattern or a kit you bought ages ago that you finally get around to making.
You can join us at ANY TIME - there is no cut off or deadline, you just have more chances of winning some fun prizes the sooner you join us

2. You have to put up this badge on your blog (with a link back to mine or Kris's blog) and make a list of the monthly projects you have finished. If you don't have a blog that's OK, just email a photo back to us and we will show it on our blogs.

3. And of course send a photo back to me or Kris, and tell about it on your blog so that we can see what you have finished. Another good thing to do is to show us in the beginning of the month what you plan to do this month. But it is OK if you show a photo of one project in the beginning of the month and then finish another one (LOL) Because I know sometimes the inspiration takes other directions than we first have planned.

And there will be prizes !!

Kris and I will have a prize draw on the last day of each month. Everyone who has registered a completed project with us for THAT MONTH will go into the draw - if you've completed more than one project, you get an entry for EACH finish, so have more chances of winning some yummy gifties!! Kris and I will take it in turn to do the draw and provide the little prize so there'll be plenty of surprises and variety to keep us all motivated. Then, on Christmas Eve, we'll have a super-size prize draw where ALL of the entries will go back into the draw for a special prize drawing - but details of this will be worked out closer to the time. After all, it's January and December is a loooooong way off.

Does this sounds complicated..........NOT AT ALL...........this is just for fun, and maybe a lot of finished WISPs/UFOs. If we finish one each months, means 12 finished project this year.
Kris and I have just started to plan this and I guess there will be a lot of questions, so don't hesitate to ask if you wonder about anything.

And please visit Kris to read what she has to tell you about this challenge.

Now I am off into my sewing room to find my first WISP for the year. I think the advent calendar needs a binding so it is ready for next Christmas.................but I hate bindings. Probably the right thing to do this evening in front of the tv, because like Kris I have had a night dreaming of rules, WISPs and Abba Songs in my head (watched the dvd Mamma Mia last night)
Saying for today:
Above all, challenge yourself.You may well surprise yourself at what strengths you have,what you can accomplish.--Cecile M. Springer
