Friday Afternoon

Ok, I am suppose to be studying, well I am not.  I am excited that I am going to the Madison Quilt Show in Madison, WI tomorrow 9-11-2010.  Meeting up with another quilter to ride with.  Tomorrow is also Patriotic Day.  It has been 9 years since our great nation was attacked.  I will have my moment of silence on my way to the quilt show.  Please take a moment of silence.  I am hoping that I will do good in Medical Terminology.  We will see.

ps, I want to get back to quilting,knitting,crocheting and life:)

Last Day of Summer Vacation(going back to school tomorrow)

Ok, wow, I can't believe it, it is that time again, the yellow school buses going pass the house:), got to love it:), no just kidding.  yep, it is that time.  Our son starts 2nd grade tomorrow.  Let's see how have I been since my last post? well, we were on vacation for another week, just loved that(have not had 2 weeks of vacation since never, in one summer). I finally got to go quilting on a friday night and got something done, just loved that.  Oh yeah, went school clothes shopping for our son.  I started school last night.  We took our son's school supplies to school to meet his teacher and where his class was yesterday before I had to go to class.  Today I had a job interview, wow, it has been like 3 yrs since I had a job interview.  Like I said, tomorrow our son is on the yellow school bus.  I can have my wednesday's back, that is I can go and quilt at the shop for a few hours.  Before you know it, it will be fall and then winter.  Well, time to get back into what ever I was doing, oh yeah, nothing:).  I will be spending the day with our son.  His last day with Mom, at McDonald's.  Lunch that is:).

I finally am linked to the Quilterblogs.com.  I just love reading all of the other people's blogs.  I am sooo happy.

Friday Night Sew

ok, here it is Friday Night Sew.  I started working on my many,many triangles(2-1/2) size.  I think I started like around 6:45pm or so? I stopped around 7:30pm, needed to get some things done around the house.  I will be going back to them around 9pm and staying up until I get tired.  Here are a few pictures of them.  I have like way over 600 2-1/2 in triangles.

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.
