friday

It's Friday already!

Here's the little quilt I've been working on.

It's now quilted. Yeah!

Simple diagonal lines...I used blue painters tape for those.

Easy.

The white borders really help to highlight those

cute giraffes!!

See the back?
I had a nice big piece of my focus fabric...just the right width.
Amazing!
Amazing because I do so little planning!

Then....I was able to make some
very special quilt deliveries!!!

Many times I mail a quilt off.
But this time I handed them out
PERSONALLY!!
I got a LOT of pleasure out of that!!!

One teacher quilt.



One baby quilt!

See the pen attached?
That's for the baby's name and birth.
I think I'm going to buy a whole bunch of pens and
begin attaching them to the baby quilts so the
new mom can add the details.

People that deserved and needed some love this week!
I'm so happy to be able to show love and concern this way...
Aren't you?

I'm adding this to amy's sew and tell.

flag.

One of the only "quilt-worthy" things I did today was add

a flag to my little school house.

There's a lot more to life than quilting...right? Right.

It was good to do that little bit.

That tiny bit of creative energy

kept me a little more sane.

I'm thankful today that I have fabric.

Lots of fabric.

I was able to locate the red stripe and

the blue....sort-of-star-polka-dot piece.

Yeah! for a fabric stash!!!

But....

I've got another kind of stash that's becoming a problem.

Does anyone else have these wonderful quilting magazines?

They are filled with bright pictures,

patterns,

new fabric lines,

articles about quilt related topics,

advertisements for every quilty thing!!!

I. LOVE. THEM.

But....

They accumulate....

unbelievably fast!!!

Especially when quilt guild meetings offer older ones

frequently for 25 cents apiece!

Hmmmm!

Yes. I've got a mighty big problem.
The first step is to admit you've got a problem.

o.k.

I've got a problem.

Then there's the books.

I don't think there's a meeting for this kind of problem...

is there???
