Will We Or Won't We?

Go Out On The Boat!

Awoke to heat and overcast skies. Our plan is to head out on the boat since time is ticking away since our youngest soon heads back to Florida. So while the clouds linger, I have been working on our guild UFO Challenge piece. I know all of your quilts are perfectly square! But some of mine either have to be blocked or they just look nicer when blocked. There are several ways of blocking but I did take photos on how I do mine however I will post that after our meeting. 

Here are a few pics blocking earlier today.

I was contemplating making jam but remembered the other day Kelly from Pink A Dot Quilts made a yummy pie. Being on the fence my son asked if I would make some Peach Soup. My mother always made us strawberry, blueberry or mixed fruit soup. It is a bowl of comfort!  

Today also starts the:

Valencia made this beautifully bold quilt.

This is one of two quilts I recently quilted for her.

 She pieces all of her backs, using interesting fabrics. 

It is hard to see but she used some 

Wonder Women comic fabric, which is so much fun!

Thanks For The Reminder!

I am wondering.......

how many times I can rip a project apart before it falls apart?

Our quilt guild recently sent us a reminder that I am to have a UFO completed for our September meeting.

Above is the pile of hst's that I committed to finish!

What is wrong with me?

By the time I am done ripping and re-ripping, there will be nothing left!!

Alright, I Confess!

Amy of at 13 Spools spilled some of her 

Quilty little secrets. 

Here is mine!

1). Don't wash fabrics. Maybe a red here and there-but I rarely sew with red!

2). I also sew with pins in.--Shoot me!

3.) I never-ever buy fabric for a project all at one time. If you saw my stash you would know why!

4.) I have the hardest time with the word SCANT-What the bleep is it? In toddle language please!

5.) Math scares me--I avoid it at all cost!

6.) Prefer not to sew on domestic machine-wearing shoes-but always in socks. It must be the semi- rebel in me wanting freedom to wiggle my toes. This could be analysed!

7.) Why can't I get this! There has to be a easy explanation to finding the Bias--Help me!

8.) A little obsessed with organizing the sewing notions, sewing room and fabric. The rest of the house--not so much!

9.) I sew in bed! I know a bit freaky--but I enjoy watching TV and having my hex's, knitting or binding near by!

10.) I just received a iPad!! I feel the adrenaline every time I turn it on!  I know there is going to be a secret here but I am not sure what it is yet!  Some of you might want to fill me in on your favorites (just say-in!).
