Whoops!

It's been nearly a week since my last post! :-o  I don't know where the days went~ seems like they just flew by!!  We are still dealing with painters and contractors. Ugh.  What should have been simple jobs, turn into complicated matters.  :-/  And the weather hasn't been particularly cooperative either.  It was 55ยบ this morning!  But I will take cool days over the heat the rest of the country is suffering any day!  The painting will get done eventually~ they want to get paid right? :-) And I love the cool days!  Perfect for quilting. ;-) 

I've had my machine working too! :-)  I recently came across a blog (and sorry, I don't remember who!) asking if we had quilts in our kitchens... good question!  Do you?  I have placemats, table runners, and even a couple hot pads~ but no quilt! :-o  I took the Le Petite project for this month~ 'George' by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co~ to rectify that oversight! :-))  My George is smaller than the pattern, but I needed it to fit in my kitchen. ;-) I had a couple fat quarters of the fabrics, so I went with what I had.  It was fun trying to make it all work!  :-) And I am very happy to have a kitchen quilt! Do you think it needs another border? I only have scraps left of the FQ's~ maybe enough for a strippy border... ?

I also worked on Step One of the Crafty Unicorn Quilts Summer Scrap Basket mystery quilt along.  96 HST's.  I love using Triangulations to get those babies whipped out! Fast and precise. :-)


Today I will be sewing my Simple Things Quilt Along top together, so come back soon! I promise I'll be back before the week is out! ;-)

Have a happy day!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
