Video for Kaitie & Kimmie - Going to College Party

Twins

As of late....

It has been a busy few weeks.....prom...............

College admissions & writting checks:

Graduation............

Paul's 13th Birthday.....Band concerts; end of season soccer tournaments and still quilting....

I don't have any words of wisdom at this point...life is fine but very ho-hum right now....

Free give-aways....

I generally don't post or sign up for free give aways...I NEVER WIN!  But I figure - hey free material - why not try it.  Now this one has a few more steps than others but if I win - it will have been more than worth it! 

Go to this site and sign up - well don't sign up so I can win - but take a look around her site - its got some cool fabric!

Finished Unfinished Works in Progress

I had started out making these squares with a ribbon to make a cancer quilt - each ribbon color representing a different type of cancer. Something went wrong in the cutting and half the blocks came out the wrong size AND to top it off - I wasn't crazy about all the different colors. I'm not a matchy matchy person but this was too unmatched for my tastes. So they have been sitting here and I buried them so I didn't have to think about what to do with them. Then someone commented on how high my pile of unfinished work was....so that got me motivated....I turned all those squares into tote bags!

Updates on Life

Well it has been a few days since I last posted. 

I've been stewing over the being kicked of quiltingboard.com and lack of response from the "higher-up's" of the board.  However, today it was evident that they got the emails because they changed their terms of service and some of the forum rules. 

Plus I feel a little better about it all after meeting about 14 people who had the same thing done to them.  I've come to realize that no matter how great of a place I thought it was and how much I liked the people there was hidden drama that wasn't evident right off the bat. 

Soccer is still soccer...I am however beyond disillusioned with the adults involved.  That in and of itself makes it hard to get motivated to do anything or help anyone.  Even the people who deserve and need the help are suffering because of my new "attitude" toward the whole organization.   Again, another issue of drama that I don't need in my life and I would cut it out if I could - but this change has to wait until the earliest September or the latest February 2012.  I just have to hang in there until then. 

Happy Easter (and some Easter projects to boot....)

Of course in true form of starting projects late so they can't be sold or even given to people before the actual Holiday - here is what I did over the past few days:

Front of Table Runner

Back of Table Runner

Back of Wall Hanging

First time trying applique and binding on something roundish....not too bad!
