First meeting with the Milwaukee/Madison Modern Quilt Guild

Ok, I finally made it to a meeting, like after 3 mnths:)  I enjoy meeting some of the members.  I learned how to hand applique:).  I was able to get my binding sewn and pressed for our son's green/brown quilt.  I just need to get some batting(most likely at JoAnn's) and then I have to get the backing fabric for it? I have no idea which color I am going with on the backing.  Green, Brown? So many choices:) I also worked on my brother's quilt for some of the time.  I enjoy the Mill House Quilt Shop.  I will be going back there some day, even though it is like 1-1/2 or less away from my house but it is a straight shot on Hwy-94 West. 
Ok, need to take a shower here and get some house work done as well as some quilting:)

Mid Summer Time

Ok, this is mid summer time here in WI.  We were on vacation with our family and my husband's parents.  We went up to our cabin.  Just loved it.  Nice weather finally.  Ok, we are back at home(came back this past weekend) and now it is Monday.  Time to get back in the swing of things.  Before I left for vacation, I received a gift card from my favorite quilt shop(the patched works) so yesterday on sunday I went there and picked up 2 packs of 1/8th fabric(from the 30's stuff), I paid for my Syliva Bridal Sampler class that I missed due to I was on vacation. Also I paid for my next one as well.  Ok, now I am going to try and figure out what I am going to make with my new fabric, oh wait, I need to put that on hold, I need to finish up my already unfinished projects.

Wednesday night

Ok, this is mid-week, hubby wants to plant some flower bulbs, so instead of quilting, or knitting, or crocheting, I go out and help him.  bugs I hate sooo much!!!! starting to make a list of stuff I need to get done, and I mean get done.  like the quilts, the crocheting items either I have started or put away with what I wanted to make.  that also goes for the knitting items as well.  I have started alot of projects in the crochet/knitting area:)  I must get organized and now:) I need to make room for my fabric. 
Ok, time to get off of the computer and started making my list.

Dr Appt and having no energy

Ok, since my last post, I have gone to the dr's and found out that we need alot of blood work done here:) not a problem to me.  As far as the friday night quilting.  I got some quilting done, but not a quilt top:( but since I went there that night, I was able to get 15 squares of my brother's quilt done.  not the whole square but part of them.  I still don't have any energy:) but I am sure all of my blood work will tell me something, hoping:)

I need energy NOW!!!!!!

ok, I have alot of projects in the making, but I have no energy.  we will be going on vacation soon, don't feel like it. I don't feel like doing anything, just sleeping, I am tired all of the time, no energy.  I went to the dentist yesterday and the lady who cleans my teeth wanted to know if I had diabetics, I told her I don't think so, not that I know much of my family's health history.  She told me to go and see my dr and have them do some blood work, well, I made the call.  I go next tuesday to see my dr.  I go to my crafting room and just look at stuff.  I hope this feeling goes away soon.  I am going to the quilt shop friday night for a sewing/laughing night out:).  I am hoping to get one of the many quilts done by then:).
I am going to see what my little boy is making out of legos,
until the next time I quilt.

Friday June 11th 2010

Ok, our little boy just got out of 1st grade, oh boy, how time does fly by.  I can remember when I just gave birth to him:).  I can't believe that he is out of 1st grade already.  We went out to lunch(he picked the place) which was Subway:) then we had errands to run, got them all out of the way.  Came home, ate supper.  Called grandma/grandpa and found out that they were coming up to see us for the weekend:) I can clean my house like in 3 hrs flat:).  Was going to get some quilting done but I had to clean instead:).  I was reading other bloggers and got on a bandwagon of this double hour glass quilt.  I am hooked.  another quilt top that I will be starting here this summer.  Just the other day, I found out that my local quilt shop is going to be doing another club.  A friendship triangle swap.  this will happen in July at the shop(the patched works).  I have no idea what I am going to do with our son this summer:) I can't get alot of quilting/knitting/crocheting done with him. 
We will just find out what I can get done this summer as far as quilting.  There is soooo many ideas out there that I want to do.  I am going to make a list and start from the top to the bottom of what quilts I want to get done:).
Ok, time for bed, need sleep, until the next blog
take care,
