There she blows...2 more days to roadtrip!!!

All I can say about this morning is "WOW."  The wind is so strong and it's unseasonably warm.    We're going from in the 60's this morning to expecting snow flurries by late tonight. Are we sure it's January?

I have almost all the fabric cut for the class this weekend but I've decided by toss of a coin to do 2 matching lap quilts.   I'm only taking fabric for one but cutting it all at once...why do things twice?  I can't wait to get there and have some fun!!!

Icy day on the Hill...

Who says you have to be miserable cooped up with a DH in bad weather?  I'm not for sure...he likes to clean.  We got 2 rooms cleaned up and no fussing involved..yeah!!! While he's in the mood to help I'm getting the kitchen organized. We have tomorrow for that and then I get a cut and sew day in MY room Sunday.  I guess I'll post some pics on Monday if I can figure out how...lol

Life gets in the way sometimes...

Does it seem like each time you have a quilt night planned something comes up out of the blue and keeps you from what you love?  It happens to me alot more now that I have deadlines to meet on cutting fabric and completing unfinished projects.  I'll get a handle on that I hope this week if the bad weather that is supposed to move in will help with my schedule of getting things done.  One can only hope....

9 Days and Counting Down....

My best friend Anna and I are going to a class by Bonnie Hunter on Feb 2 and I can't wait for the road trip.  I still have some cutting to do for class but Scrappy Mountain Majesty will be a hoot as all of Bonnie's classes are.  If you ever get a chance to take a quilting class do so.  You meet people from all walks of life and make some friendships that last a lifetime.  You can also learn alot from one another too.

Not enough time....

Have you ever had a four day weekend and feel there is still not enough time for all that's on the to do list?  Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get all on my list done ever...lol  After working all day moving furniture,cleaning and rearranging things it's off to watch a movie with the hubby and family then relax.  I guess I'll have to help him some tomorrow if it's nice outside but then I'll have time for some quilt related things for myself in the afternoon or evening....yeah!

Fresh year and fresh list of UFO's

Welcome to my first blog.  I've got a fresh list of UFO's and some traveling planned for this year.  Follow along as we complete them together. My quilt guild, Ritzy Thimble Quilter's of Oak Ridge, TN has a challenge involving completing them for chances of prizes.
