had to share.........I'm actually going to be able to do some quilting today!! Wahoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
I finished one of the mini quilts for the lady at church, and have the second one all ready to go in teh machine and everything! My hope is to get that finished and do some work on the HUG that I'm doing for a friend (thanks to all who have helped me get this thing figured out, without you, I would have given up due to total brain loss!).
I went to JoAnns last night and used my 50% off coupon on some curtain lining fabric - I will be using it on the new curtains for DSs room, adn the new curtains for DH/my bedroom. I also bought 2 panels of the "United States Navy" pillow (1 for DH and 1 for his brother), and the fabric for my new bedroom curtains. Progress is being made on getting rid of the last unpainted room...woohoo!!!
The family is going to the fair again tomorrow (to drop off the pies and use up the last of our free entry tickets and the ride tickets that are left over from wednesday), so I probably won't get much quilting done, and Sunday is grocery shopping day, but there are possibilities that I can see my machine and fabric again.
Yes, I veered off-topic, sorry. For those that are cringing, knowing that I wanted to paint the bedroom.....Doc has said that if I stick to the plan (paint 15 minutes, exit room for 30+ minutes, and keep everything well ventilated) that she doesn't see a problem. SHe also suggested that I wear a face mask, which we already have. Next up for the room (after painting adn curtains).....a new QUILT!!! See...back on topic. The really great thing is that it is going to give me a lot of creative freedom....found a great block that i like, but the curtains are done in a patchwork pattern (navy, red/white/blue floral, red squares)...ah well....
even though baby brain has destroyed my logic and other parts, it hasn't gotten in the way of my creativity.....got ideas for my queen sized quilt, mom and dad's queen sized quilt, brother-in-laws quilt (gotta than DH for coming up with that one!)...I'm on a roll, now, how can I squeeze more hours in the day??
