Posting a picture

Okay...I'm going to try to post a picture of one of my quilts....we'll see if this works! Woohoo! I did it...without to much trouble. This is a quilt that I made for my friend Sharon's 60th birthday in December 2007. I hand (buttonhole) appliqued it and pieced it by machine. The pattern originally had a chicken where the crosses are so I changed it up to fit her better. I think she liked it. That's my hubby holding it up for me. I'll try to post more of my quilts when I have time. I know that I LOVE looking at other people's quilts and I get inspired by some. Now I'm off to vacuum and maybe sew a bit.

Monday morning blahs....

I don't like Monday mornings very well...does anybody??? I didn't get as much sewing time in this weekend as I would have liked. I've realized that I stay in my little room and sew more in relation to my stress level. More stress/more sewing...I guess it's better than drugs, right??
We went to see my Mom and Dad yesterday, it was a really nice visit except for the fact that my 14 year old was acting 14!!! Well off to get ready for work! Happy Monday ;)

This may be my first and last post....we'll see. I'd really rather stitch quilts than be on the computer but everybody and their sister seems to have a blog....so now I do to! We're (hubby and two daughter's) are going to see my Mom and Dad today. He's due to have lung surgery on Wednesday. We won't leave for several hours so I'm off to piece a couple of blocks before we do. I'll try to post photos of some of my quilts soon. I have several hand projects going right now and well as my Dear Jane and a repro quilt from before Civil War time. Happy Sunday!
