Been too long since my last post..

Who knows where all the days have gone!! Seems the older one gets the faster time goes.. And pretty soon you feel like you are always eating breakfast..

Where to begin . I do have a new Great Grand Son. He was bron October 6,2012.

Weighed in at 7lbs 3ozs. Only 20 inches long.. He was  named Jaxon Hayes McQuillen. This is his pappa Scott holding him just a few minutes after his arrival.
All is well with him so far.

I have not been sewing much but do have a fast and easy quilt cut and ready to sew for the wee one. It is a strip quilt. A friend of mine worked this up many years ago and shared with me. (1996 or so) Now it is all over the net. and so it goes. There is nothing new under the sun.

Also, I have many tops to get quilted for the Veterans Restoration Center in Asheville. This is the 225 bed facility I have talked about before. I am so ready to get my machine turned on and get down to buisiness.  If I had about 3 weeks for just this I could get them all quilted. and the binding sewn on for the hand sewing. We shall see.

My dear husband has been called for Jury Duty today! It is not something he really wants to do today but it is everyones civic duty.  I have been called 3 times in NC but have not sat thru a trial. Hope this will be the same for him.

I know my blog is not full of stuff  and that is the way I like it.!!!. I find so many way too busy with all the side bar stuff that I won't visit them any more. I say KISS- keep it simple sister..!!  I have a friend who has a very neat hanging in her kitchen and all it says," SIMPLIFY". To me that sums it all up for me and my life..

Hope you have a great day !!
Till next time..

So little time

I am not a good blogger needless to say. Life gets in my way and then I forget about posting.. Oh well- life is real and blogging is a option.. LOL Any way I have not really accomplished much of anything thsi year.. which now over half over. It is true the older you get the faster time goes. Read once in a joke, "The older you get the faster times goes and soon it seems you are always eating breakfast." I have many things I would love to get done just can't get my mojo working. One piece of news I do have is I will be a great grandmother again in October. They tell me it is a boy. Wish parents today could just wait till the baby is born. Seems to be the parents today do not want surprises. Thue dont knmow what they are missing. And they have the baby named before it's even born.. How sad.. Any way for the few who read this dont fall over.. I will do my best to post more often. Have a great day!!

As 2012 approaches

I have been reading many "yearly" lists over the past few days. Seems everyone hopes to get some older projects out of the way early on in 2012.
Which is what I would like as well. Now if all of the fun new projects would not hit the web till June I think I would be in good shape!!!

I have many tops needing quilted- so this will be MY first thing to get out of the way. if my memory is correct I have 22 tops to do.. So if I could do one a day I would have them all quilted in January. Then maybe could get the binding on in Feb. All of the quitls are for the Vets Center. So this is a real priority for me!!

For today I will continue to go through stuff to cull out.
That is a huge undertaking in my world.!!

Happy New Year to all and may all you start in the New Year not end up as a UFO for 2013!!

Till next time...

Well another year is about gone. And  I wonder what I did for the year.. Humm I will have to go back and check some photos.

I hope to be more productive in 2012. Sometimes life just gets in the way.. As it does for everyone at some
point. I have several tops to quilt and bind for the Vets Center. So I must get these done.

I will do inventory for the Quilt Shop I fill in at. Seems she wants to do this BEFORE she has her sale.
Weird to me but I don't own the business. I workd there tomorrow as well. I might just get to sew on something for me!! I just know I will not be busy. Too many sales going on..

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and will have Happy New Year too..

Till next time.....

Merry Christmas

Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas to all!! And where did this year go? 

Today is my youngest Grandson Birthday.. Hard to believe he is 22 already.. WOW!!
He is a handsome young man for sure.

I have been busy and have not attened to my blog the way I should. Maybe in 2012 it will
be better.. Time will tell..

till next time............

Hello

Where does the time go? Thanksgiving will be here soon. And I don't even have a turkey yet..

I have managed to make a few of the sleeves for Eyeglasses. Sharon V shared her method of making these and was very easy. You can get to her blog http://vroomansquilts.blogspot.com/. Check it out . She does so many things and is one busy giving Woman.

The ones I made yesterday,  9 total. I plan to make more using the homespun fabrics for the males of
the world.  Not sure where they will be donated just yet, but there will be a place I'm sure..

Have a great day everyone.. till next time..........

Time passes so quickly!!

I can't  believe it has been almost two months since I posted anything!! And I don't really have any excuses except nothing happening in my world worth telling about..

Now that the long hot summer is coming to a close.. Yippee, I can get back to my frame quilting. I have way too many quilts tops to be quilted and bound. Then taken to the Vets Restoration Center for use. This is the on going project I wrote about sometime last year. If all goes well they will be quilted in a meander. it is not what I want to do but time is of the essence and they will be needed before the snow flies.

I visit many blogs and read what others are doing and finishing etc. Seems most quilters are going back to the simpler things again. Lot so squares and strips. and simply done.  I think all the money talk across the country has much to do with it. Women get stressed and they want to make something to get their mind off everything negative. A good thing for sure.  Life goes on !!

Till next time............
