Emily's quilt....finished!!!!




Now before you judge the quilting on this, remember that I'm not a custom quilter. I love piecing quilts and when I first started making quilts 21 years agoIdid machine quilt them all or sometimes tie them because I didn't know any different. Then I had a couple of quilts done in a cloud panto by a friends mother-in-law. About 6 years ago I discovered several custom quilters that worked on longarms. Whoa...well I then had all of my quilts custom quilted and I forgot that I could, when necessary quilt them myself. Someday I will have a Gammill....I really will.

This has been a busy week for me at work with the big Crazy Days sale...lots of prep work, set up and tear down. Then there's the heat to deal with (the kids that work for me had it really rough) and to top it off, major computer issues with my POS cc processing software. Why do things have to cost so much???? huh?? Hopefully all these issues will be resolved before ft ball season (7 weeks away, i think).

I did come home for a couple of hours yesterday and whipped out 2 dj blocks and I've got another one going right now. The easy ones seem to run in spurts and then there will be a few that just really test me, but in a good way ;0).

In a little bit I'm running out to my version of "hell" or Walmart as it's more commonly known to pick up some groceries. The family is getting tired of "making do".

Weekends are GREAT!!!
