Memorial Day Mystery Quilt


Well here it is... I finished the borders today. I did do it different from the pattern. I switched my light and dark placement, but I like the overall effect it gives it. I want to make another one in blues maybe or black and whites. Not sure yet which one I will choose to make. But the Cathral windows were really easier than I thought. So i'm looking forward to doing them again soon.
I didn't get to my Fiber Arts meeting today, was just to tired, maybe next month.
Well that's all from here.
Have a Blessed Day!

Today is the pits....but getting better


Sometimes Life knocks you for a loop. Well today is one of those days. I have been unable to take my RA meds for the last 3 days because of the test I'm doing on next Wendesday. So, I can hardly walk and my hands are starting to swell up. But, when I woke up I was still in a good mood, then I checked my email, boy was that the wrong thing to do. I got an email from a very nice lady(won't say who) asking me to not be in anymore of her swaps until I learn to do better work. So, after crying alittle, no one wants to hear that about there own work. I went back to look at the pictures of what I made and I have to agree with her 100%. What I made was nice but not of the quiatiy that the swap should receive. So, that being said... It's hard to realize your own limits sometimes and sometimes we/I bite off more than we/I can possibly do. So I will have to learn to not join so many things, that may be out of my comfort range of being a beginner. I hope that the Lady who recieved my swap will forgive me for sending her poor work. I do appolize to you. Hopefully some day in the furture I can join these swaps again when I have learned alot more about this Craft.


On a brighter note, today is Pirate day in my house we are watching all the Pirates of the Carrabine(sp) movies tonight on Starz's. I can't wait to see them back to back.


I hope everyone has a Blessed Day!

Wow, it's Saturday already........


Well, I've been working on getting caught up on my "Get A Clue Mystery". As I said earlier we only did half the stuff we needed to do for each step. I only have one more step and I'm caught up. This is going to be such a cool quilt, I can't wait to see it put together. The only hard part is you have to make sure that you mark each step the right number or it gets confusing really fast as there are alot of pieces to it.


My hubby broke a glass the other day and he cleaned it all up, so I wasn't even thinking about it. Then this morning I was walking in the kitchen to get something and right by the trash can I steped on a sliver. Of couse it went all the way in my foot and I had to move it around to get it out so now I have a nice little cut on the bottom of my foot.

It's cloudy and getting more overcast outside and the temp is 89 and getting hotter, I wish it would rain to cool things off. I can tell this is going to be a very hot summer, if we are already in the high 80's now.

Finished Round 3 & more.......



Well I finished Round 3 for Spring Round robin and it goes in the mail tomorrow. I added the green border and the outside railfence border, plus the butterflies, there are three of them. The outside pok-a-doted fabric is what I'm sending for the backing. I really hope that Alicia likes it. I can't say where I'm mailing it to because it's a surprise.

This picture is from Michele she was who sent to me for the Spring part of the Four Seasons Quilt Swap. I love it, Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to hang it.

Other news, My MIL sure be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. Which is really good. But I found out today that my Uncle has to have bypass surgery, not sure when but will find out soon. Please keep them both in your prayers and light a healing candle for both.

Well, I'm off to dinner have a Blessed Evening!

Yes, I do other crafts besides Quilting.........



The first picture is of a cross stitch I did not sure what I'm going to do with it yet...But I'm thinking something Summery, lol.
The second one is harder to see, I have to get my DD to explain to me how to use this camara and lighting. but, it's the afghan I'm crochetting for my Mom. It's in browns and blues and I hope to have it finished soon.
Tomorrow, I go over to my friend Amy's house she is going to teach me how to do binding on my quilts. Then we have to go to Deland to drop of the Mother's Day Challenge Quilts we all made. Not sure what I'm doing after that or how long I will be gone.
Then Tuesday night Hubby and I are going back to Deland for our SCA monthly meeting. Hopefully soon we can aford to join it our Kingdom is called Trimaris and our Shire is called " Shire of Vaca del Mar ". I have to start working on the skirt for it soon as we are going to the TRIMARIS MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT 2008 at Ocala Campsite on the 23rd. I want to make my own skirt and over skirt that I can were during the day, plus I have a dress for the Feast that night. I can't wait, I'm going to be going to a Tea & Cakes held by their Needleworks Guild. So, I will get all the information on that.
Well, I'm going to go see what movies are on tonight and work on my afghan.
Have a Blessed Evening!

Sewing today.......



Well I've been sewing alot today, I got the top for the Spring 4 season quilt done so tomorrow I just have to sandwich it and quilt it and add binding. It's the top picture.
I also am half way done with the Spring Round Robin, I still have my outside blocks to add but I needed to add a border to the inside so that the math comes out right, have all the blocks cut out just have to sew them together, will finish it after I get the other one done. It's the second picture.
Update on Doctor visits, Friday I saw the GI Doctor and he wants to do a test on the 21st so I have to go back, He thinks I have something wrong with my stomach, duh....I've been trying to tell them that for months now, lol.
My other Doctor got the blood test back and there is something wrong with my kidneys so she wants to get ahold of another doctor to talk to them about it but that doctor is on vaction so I have to wait til the 13th when he gets back then my Doctor will call me to tell me what they are going to do about it. So now I just have to wait.
