We are hosting at a state park in Oregon right now and are getting ready for a big 150th statehood celebration here. So the sewing has been set aside for a few days except for the pennants I am helping the staff make. But I am collecting fabric for two quilts I hope to get started in March as well as finish the French Braid. Gets kind of crowded here at times but hasn't slowed me down much.

It is sunny here today and i ma getting up to get ready for work. Hope you have a wonderful week. Nancy

I am going to try and machine quilt it. we'll see how that goes. i also have a flannel comforter, i am tying for my dad. the pattern is called Magic Nine Patch. it is really easy and turns out nice. the colors are browns , greens and a little dark red almost a burgandy. i'll have to take a picture. i am slow though because i get distracted easily. haha.
the table runner top turned out nice though. i am really pleased with that. now for the hard part. :)

At 1:01am on January 27, 2009, Nancy Alberts said…: That is how i want to start is a patch and grow some potatoes in it. i don't really have a favorite color, i them all but i do kinda gravitate towards flower patterns so i have to watch that. i like when the colors are in a group to pick from that makes is easy.

I bet you're going to love your new kitchen. It's so nice to have everything new. Kitchens take such a beating. You'll start quilting again. I take breaks and I'm actually better when I get back to it. I hate having UFO's. I try to get projects done but other things get in the way. My daughter goes back to college Sunday and I will surely miss her. I think she's had it with being home. It's not as exciting as a dorm!

At 7:54am on January 22, 2009, Rosemary said…: Grace, how did you ever know that I already finished my baby quilt top??!! It's for a boy but I tried to make it neutral. There's quite a bit of green and yellow but also some aqua. I never trust ultrasounds! It finished at about 42" by 54". It's actually a nice size. I also hope to make a teddy bear to go along with it from the leftover fabric. I have to get the backing ready now for the quilt and then machine quilt it. My mom's first car when I was little was a Chevy Nova. I miss that car! How's your quilting going?? How's the car project going?

Also helped hubby unload a truck of railroad ties and fencing. Getting ready to put in a raised garden area. 20'x30'. Will share with Diane next door and my youngest and his family! Makes the effort worth while. So-there goes quilting for a day or two-have to dig in my stash for some border fabric-maybe this eve altho I ready for my snuggies!
It did get up to 60 degrees today but did get sprinkled on earlier and more tonite. Need the moisture as we are desert here!
Love Canada altho now that I'm spoiled with winters here!!! When I was a kid we had harvesters come down and help combine the grain on my parent's farm!We made lots of friends with thoes good looking hands!! I had three younger sisters and they always kept the pot stirred!!!
