hello all, just wanted to say that I have been working on my final project for school. I am taking Medical Coding Specialist at WCTC in Pewaukee. I am doing my final project. It has been like 25+ years since I was in school doing homework:).
As far as my quilting, well, I took my younger brother to the quilt shop yesterday and told him to pick out like 16 different fabric, well, the pattern that I was going to make him well, he total changed my plans and now I will be doing a 20-something quilt for him. He has like black/grey flames,cars,footballs,checkerboard, all kinds of fabric. blew my mind and plans right out the window. I don't mind, I am making him a quilt with the fabric he picked out. I will post the fabric on my site here soon.
I also have been doing thangles, well, the finish size is 2 inches, I have no pattern for that yet. I am also doing 1/2 triangles with some charm packs that I had bought. I don't have a pattern for that either. I think I just like cutting up the fabric and then making or finding a pattern for it.:)
My husband's grandmother who is 94 yrs old showed me how she connects her granny squares together. I love the way she does it:) that was over Easter weekend.
well, time to get the little one doing his homework, me taking a shower and all of us hitting the bed.
Talk later,
Here is my 2nd attempt to the Log Cabin Afghan. It is in the browns, tans, whites, oranges, and some reds and yellows.

New craft table
ok, I got it, I just love it. my craft table. I know I have had it for a month or so now, but I have been busy quilting and doing homework for school. ok, all of you that told me that I should not get this table because it will be filled up quickly, you are alllll right, it is filled. I will take some pics here and post them. I have almost finished my son's 2nd quilt. I just need to put the 2-borders and binding on and then I am going to give quilting a try on my machine. I have started another quilt, it is with thangles. 2-inch finished size. also I went to the International Quilt Fest in Rosemont, Ill and that was just great. I got 5-yards of fabric(kit) with 4 different patterns. just love it. I can make 4 different twin size quilts. while I was there, I just kept seeing these small squares,triangles(about 1-inch in size). well, I got the 1-inch finished size thangles and will be making another quilt with those. When I went to my local quilt shop, I got a charm pack and started making 1/2-triangles, I put them together, and then I realized that I need more, so I went back to the shop and got another charm pack. I still don't know what kind of quilt the charm pack fabric will be yet. Ok, I have that bug, that quilting bug or should I say that I start a project and don't finish it but start another one bug:) I am going to be doing a quilt for my brother. He is going to pick out the fabrics(all 15 of them). I am going to be doing a quilt like the jewel box-similar to that. Some of my quilting friends are at retreat now, I told them that I am going with them next year. I can't wait.
Ok, now time to go and start something, just don't know what yet, I think it will be quilting:)
have fun in what ever you do.
