Slow Going Process

That's about how my day is going. I have made progress, but nothing that stands out directly. I have been needing to do a lot of prepping, so today is the day. All of my En Provence blocks needed trimming. Yeah done. It's a amazing how just sliver can make a block look so much better.














Next I needed to doing something about my yellow blocks.












 I decided to switch out the large flowers I had for a solid yellow .
















Score! So much better!









I also prepped by first bag lady, but that's as far as I got with that. I decided that I want to do some big stitch quilting on my power of the sewing machine embroidery that I recently finished. I spent sometime deciding what to do with that. I have watched several videos and really like one in particular. Here's a video link to her youtube. I'm thinking some simple cross hatching and such.

I'm also going to do Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year. This month's colors are purple. Boy do I have purple! Lot's a purple! However, I do plan to do some little pigs and baskets, but more on that later in the week.

It is amazing what a difference a little slice of fabric can make. I trim all my HSTs and the accuracy increases.

Weekend Jam

It has been a fun weekend considering the cloud of allergies that I seem to be under. Lots of kids and teachers are getting sick at work. I had four students out a day or two in the last week in one class alone. Then there is this breezy warm weather and then cold that continues to swirl around. Mind you Saturday was just too nice. I spent the morning getting the house in order, opening windows and letting the fresh air in. The cats were so happy just longing in the window sills all day. Later in the day, hubster and I went to the gun range. We thought it would be less crowded at the end of the day - yeah right! We waited about a half-hour before we got a lane. It's amazing how fast you can go through 120 + bullets. Mind you I do have two clips, so I did shoot more. I am pretty out of practice and the gun is really new. I think hubby made a decision on which gun he prefers. It's not mine. It's way too small for his hand. Poor guy got off to shots before he handed it back to...

Putting Down the Pedal

Hey, it's only been a year! Seems like life just goes and I never seem to catch up. I have been fighting a bug a month since the school year started. This time, steroids plus another antibiotic. I swear if this doesn't do it I can imagine what's next. Anyhoo, sleeping is a chore with the drugs. So far, it's better today. My heart isn't racing at least. Will see how I sleep. Besides moaning about sickness, yesterday and today I have spent a great amount of time in the craft room sewing. Yeah!! I finished one flimsy that was a club challenge that will turn into a nice size lap quilt. The other has been in a holding pattern for almost a year. I finally covered some corners that didn'y line up with flowers and added the borders. I have about 4 inches of the last border to add when I ran out of fabric. Crossing fingers that I can find a bit more if not there will probably be a surprise block on the corner. Maybe make it the quilt tag, hmm,, there might be an id...

Dear Gardagami

I wanted to let you and EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG AND SEES YOUR NAME - DO NOT OPEN COMMENT!! For some reason there seems to be a virus attached to it! I can't imagine just what I or any others have done to bother you so. Maybe your a hater of the fiber arts? Well if this is the case, then don't read the blogs that include that kind of love. For you fiber related friends, again I must repeat don't open anything that says Gardagami for the blog name.
