Progress and Frustration

I have finished 2 sets of hexagons for the Quilt a long but can't post about them there, every time I try the post shows up here.

Slowly but surely

It has been so long since I posted anything I about forgot how to. I love seeing all of the pot luck photos so thought I would pitch in. I think this group might actually get me back in the groove of WANTING to do something creative again. I took a quick break this morning and got started. The picture is kind of dark but you get the idea.

Taking a little break

I have absolutely no interest in sewing or crafting of any kind for that matter and really haven't for about a month. Just after I spent a lot of money to take the quilt class.

I haven't even had much interest in reading the wonderful blogs I was looking forward to reading each day.

To those who do come by here occasionally thank you, I know who you are and I will be back around and hopefully have something to show for the time off.

I just don't know if it will be sooner or later.

For now, I am going to read a book.

Happy Birthday to Me

My daughter had this on her blog this morning and it made me laugh. I was about 4 years old here and hated having my bangs cut. My Granny would sit me up on her kitchen counter and wouldn't stop until they were straight or I was nearly bald. Guess which happened first...

When I got out of my car tonight at work some of the guys got on the intercom and one after the other told the community that it was my birthday. I walked in and several people were standing there to tell me Happy Birthday then I see a cookie cake that my friend Michele got for me and it was decorated in my favorite colors and there were balloons that one of the sales guys put together.

I also received some beautiful flowers.

I have had a great birthday!

To all you have made this a special day for me, thank you very much.

Quilt News

I've been invited to join The Great Hexagon Quilt-Along. I'm not sure how I came upon this blog a week or so ago but I love it! There are so many beautiful things being made from all over the world. Check it out if you get a chance.

I just finished piecing all of the small blocks together to make the Card Trick block now I just need to put the small blocks together. I'm not sure that I am supposed to put it together before the class though. She said something about DO NOT iron the seams until we come back and I can't imagine putting it together without ironing the seems so I guess I will make a call Monday to find out for sure. I have the templates cut out to get started on the Ohio Star pieces so I think that will try to do that tomorrow.

Enjoy the weekend or in my case a day off.
