card friday

Had such a fabulous day! So great that I am just getting on here now at 10pm to post for today lol.

Started off meeting a friend this morning at my favoritest restaurant. Nothing beats a rainy Friday morning than a great cup of tea and conversation with a wonderful friend.

Buckingham Palace tea; oh so yummy. And the teapots, I love them all! I hadn't seen the one before that I got today. Lovely!

Than it was off to school. Today was my day to help out with lunch supervision. I was very happy to have today as an *indoor day* since it was so very wet outside.

After, Mom and I went to Hamels Fabrics. I have signed up for Rachel's Modern Siggy Swap. I knew which fabrics I wanted and to my happiness, they were on sale!

Mom and I have both doing Rachel's Pinwheel Sampler. I went with Portebello Market for this one. Can't wait to get started on it.

When we got back to my place, I was thrilled to discover Dad and Jim working away on our dead dryer. I am thrilled to report that it is now working-yay! Even Gizmo got in on the diagnosing of the problem lol.

So now, Card Friday. I may have shown this card before. If so, please forgive me!

And the winner of my giveaway is, Judy from My Front Porch! Thanx for entering everyone!

giveaway!

Just because. Winner gets both these brand-new patterns. One for a bag and one for a pillow.

All you need to do is tell me what movie you are looking forward to most this year. As many of you may think mine is Eclipse, the third in the Twilight Saga. It's not. A very very close second to Toy Story 3; can not wait for that!

So, tell me what your most awaited movie of this year is and I'll announce the winner on Friday. Good luck!

is it Friday yet?

Monday we discovered the roof is leaking. Yesterday the front brakes in the van went. And today, my dryer died. Dead beyond dead died.

Good news? Jim can patch the roof; it's not a horrible leak so it's not that worrisome. Yet. We had the money to fix the brakes but now the emergency fund is empty. And my dad and Jim are fairly confident that between the two of them, they can repair the dryer.

With all that and spending much of my day glued to CNN to watch the horrific pictures from Haiti(we have family friends that were missionaries there for 23yrs. my dad has visited the country and we currently have sponsor children there) not much got accomplished today.

What I did accomplish? I finally got the borders on my New Year's Eve quilt. It's the Roman Holiday line from Moda. I got this quilt for Christmas I believe it was 2007; it may even have been 2006 lol. Ever since I did a customer's Roman Holiday quilt, I've been itching to get mine done. And here it is.

I made mine bigger(what else is new lol). I also had enough strips left over to make a section to put into the backing. At first I thought this could go on the wall but it's a little large so it will look lovely draped on my new favorite chair.

And just because he is so cute and literally spent all day on my sewing table, Gizmo.

wordless wednesday

oh baby

There has been a baby boom at our church recently. I made this card to go with this quilt. I didn't mean to make them match but liked how they did.

bobbins

I end up with a lot of bobbins leftover when longarming a quilt. I've started bringing the bobbins home and using them as top thread in my sewing machine(I used to use them as the bobbin until mom told me that metal bobbins in a computerized sewing machine was just asking for trouble lol)
