Hello again....



Is it just me or does time fly for everyone these days? I can remember when my girls were little and some days just seemed to drag on and on. Now every single day just goes by so fast. Even the college kids that work for me agree and I know when I was that age I never worried about time passing by. Personally I think time has sped up somehow....lol.

The block above is another one in the quilt that I am making my Mom. I am buttonhole appliqueing another one right now and I have one prepped and waiting. I'm also working on a couple of fall projects and maybe this weekend (if i'm not too tired from working my second saturday in a row, yuck) I'll be able to post some progress pics. I sent my fall quilt off with my quilter friend Linda on Tuesday and I'll bet she has it done in a few days. I did something really stupid while making the binding for the fall quilt, I cut the bias binding 1.5". What was I thinking!?!?!? I've made bias binding 100's of times...well maybe dozens of times and I've never screwed up and made it the wrong size before. I have forgotten to offset my tube though ;0). Oh well not that big of deal really.

I suspect lots of quilters will be working in their sewing rooms tonight while their hubbies watch the Vice presidential debate. Don't get me wrong I'm very interested in politics and I am a very aware person but I just can't take much more of this race. Enough said!

Have a great Thursday everybody (if anyone reads this that is :0)

I have been catching up with you, and I have enjoyed all of your posts. Your mother's quilt that you have finished is beautiful, and from the looks of it another beautiful one is on its way. You do really nice looking work. By the way, I like what your quilting group does; sounds like lots of fun.
