I am going to try to keep up with my blog and post a little more frequently.  An early March snowstorm has left our area buried in almost 9 inches of beautiful white snow and given a lot of kids in the area a snowday! I am taking  full advantage of the day with a little cleaning, baking and sewing.  I am off now to do a little shoveling and to deliver some freshly baked bread to neighbors.  Plans are to do more sewing on the I spy quilt for little Maren.  Crock pot chicken is cooking and Brian and Katherine will join us dinner.  I hope to post some quilt pictures soon.

Off to a great start.

Just finished the binding on the 4th quilt of the year.  Hopefully I can figure out how to post pictures without too much struggle.  I find if I keep myself on the "find 15 minutes a day to sew"  I get quite a bit done.  It certainly helped having yesterday off from work.  Boy I sure could get a lot done if I didn't go to work.  I am amazed that the school year is half over.  Spring break will be here before I know it.  Its getting to be time to think about starting seeds for the garden. Phew there is plenty to keep me busy.  Its time to figure out these pictures.

These were made using the Dresden Plate blade.  All will be donated to Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul, MN

2 Weeks

Already January 14th.  WOW time is flying by quickly.  I have been able to squeeze in a little sewing here and there and I am sure like many sewers wish I could fit in more.
Spent last night helping Brian stain his new kitchen island.  His first home is sure coming together nicely.  Anyways back to sewing.  So far this year I have completed one quilt, binding and all. Another is ready to be loaded on the quilter, with yet another waiting for its borders to be added.  I really want to work on using up the fabric I have,  especially all the flannel that is boxed and screaming to be used.  I have been putting together fabrics to make some Quickie Strippies. The pattern can be found here http://www.maryquilts.com/quick-strippie/  I love this pattern, along with many of Mary's patterns. 
A couple errands to run and then hopefully the rest of the day can be spent sewing.  Happy Saturday.

A new year a new.

2012.  As the new year begins I have decided to try a new way to keep track of things in my life. Through this blog I hope to keep a listing of quilts I am working on, quilts I am have completed and those quilts I hope to some day to begin.  I am guessing there will be a smattering of daily trials and tribulations that all play a part of who I am.  There is bound to be a HUGE learning curve with this new endeavor, but the plans are for this to be fun and not a chore.  With that said, let the party begin,  and Happy New Year!
