oh dear, I am hooked again

while on my retreat (quilting) I discovered a new, or old passion...now listen this one really makes sense. Using the strips of fabric cut off to straighten the fabric...you can tie the strips together and guess what knit them....drum roll plez,,,,I am making a scarf....Oh yes another addiction....I am begging for these strips...I know be careful what you ask for...

Now the big thing to remember..post pix and beg others for strips and patterns...

off to find peace

I am off to the ocean...a quilters retreat to be exact. No phones, no tvs, no internet, (know that might be hard for me)...I plan on working on scrap quilts for charity...eating for me....laughing for the soul, talking with God because He is always with me...missing my family(okay, not at first)

Civil War and other mumblings

I am so excited about taking a road trip this June. The best part of being "on the road again", it's been 20 years, is the company of my loved ones coming along. I have never been to Tennessee, so first on the list of course is Graceland, followed by Memphis bbq. So I need quilt shops in the area to visit...my new thing is Civil War fabric and patterns, I think everybody is on the band wagon, it's been 150 years..so if anybody out there happens upon my blog ideas would be greatly appreciated

I am so sew so....

so..here it is April 2010 and I have almost forgotten I had this blog....I have devoted way to much time to facebook..and other time wasting trivial pursuits. I haven't accomplished much of anything.
I am perplexed however, why is it that my scraps and stash seem to multliply even though I don't add to them and use them? Do the missing socks in the laundry turn into faabric scraps? And then there's the issue of wire hangers...where do they all come from...Will these questions be revealed to me ever in my lifetime?

my pix of my little ole shack, and other ramblings

So here it is my little humble nana shack.. It still needs power and air conditioning. DH promised to finish it this weekend..But it's a Holiday weekend you say...oh well.....We don't do to much anyhow..Might have some friends and family ( is that an oxiemoran or however you spell it) My granddaughter will drag me kicking and screaming to the firework stands...can't see spending the money on it..for what they are...

I plan on using the shack for my scrapbooking and storage...I really long to be organized..if you saw my sewing room yo would laugh..I am trying..

my bad

I have been lagging in my quilting.....I am hostin a bridal shower for my niece on Tuesday and I am working on making the shower favors. I am also addicted to scrapbooking using my cricut bug. Knowing I could make cute little favor boxes of course I stick out my tongue and starting ranting I'll do it myself...this was before I learned the guest list was 50!
Oh yes, I am also doing the wedding favors....I am my own worst enemy...
Hopefully I will get back to quilting soon..

This is my currant project...a disappearing nine patch, I vow to make a dent in my stash...do you believe me? I actually set some rules for myself I have to make a quilt where I no buy...before I can use one of my quilt kits..or purchase fabric. The border I plan to use is cats....catfish in snorkles, deep sea diving etc. The fabric was purchased probably a good 8 years ago..my bad.

Please leave comments and let me know I'm not out in cyberspace by my lonesome
