I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for the friends who have given me a heart full of joy. -Charles R. Swindoll
I have been an absent blogger, and I have missed posting and reading all the blogs. The truth is that I have a large project that has been consuming my time, my mind (so little of it even works these days) and my energy. AND I LOVE IT. The committee that lives in my brain has been in full session, calling meetings in the middle of the night all of which are quilt related. The design process is so much fun but, dang I gotta get a grip!
Yesterday I went sewing with my small group. We had a fantastic day at Ann's house.Terrific lunch and tons of good girl friend fun. I want you to meet Julie (mother of the bride from earlier posts). Julie is a wonderful friend, great lady, funny, and she makes a pumpkin cake that will make you want to "slap yo mama" as we say in the south. Julie has been quilting since 2002 and is a devote of Bonnie Hunter,... you know frugal. She uses every single scrap of fabric and makes outstanding quilts! Yesterday she admitted to the group that she had NEVER changed her rotary cutter blade. After they picked me up off the floor and the paramedics left with the oxygen tanks they emptied after reviving me....I snapped this photo of Julie. I am giving her a 5 pack of blades...that should last her a life time Gotta get a grip on this girl.
This little guy came to visit in the afternoon. Let me tell you we were women reduced to l playing paddy cake, cooing, making all kinds of noises, songs...and then the best we decided to play dress the baby. Fat quarters on his head and around his neck. I took 3,785 pictures of Mr. Austin. Did I take any pictures of the quilting were doing? NOPE? Was I anxious to show you the stitchery I'm working on NOPE! It was all about the baby...I gotta get a grip.
Off to the sewing room for another marathon. I'm taking this with me. Photos of quilting tomorrow..I promise.
As I said I gotta get a grip.

A whole SLEEVE of cookies???? Well...at least it's a diet drink!!! I wonder if Austin's daddy would be amused with your "dress the baby" game?? LOL He looks very cute. And....how in the WORLD did Miss Julie manage to go 7 years without changing that blade??? I want to know what brand of blade she uses as I need some of those super-long-lasting ones, too!!!
Wow..I must have that same commitee in my brain at times.
What does Julie do? does she saw her material? when mine goes dull, it goes dull.
So...maybe it is good that you don't have a grip..you seem to be getting more done!!
It sounds like you are very creatively busy. It is the best way to be!

I think you should start designing clothing using fat quarters!!!!
Wonderful choice of cookies and DIET cola, great combination, one offsets the other LOL.
What is it with babies that turn us all into silly geese?

It is easy to get lost in such a wonderful world of quilts, quilters and baby! It looks like you always have so much fun! blessings,Kathleen
