Is it really February?

January is over and I still have nothing to show. At least nothing to show of completed quilts. It isn't that I failed to complete a quilt this month.. The problem is I missed the baby shower to hand over that quilt.  I know that the person I am giving the quilt to reads my facebook, which means she has access to flickr. That in turn means I can't share, yet. Darn that flickr now working with Facebook! I know I could probably change that, but that would take effort I am not willing to put in.

I have been working on these. I am half way done cutting and pressing. Just a little stack more to go.


This is for another baby quilt. It will be finished, and I will make this baby shower. So most likely you will see this completed quilt before the other one.

Luckily, I have my helpers.

This girl - Suzie, toy always in hand


And this big boy, Gus - Pouting as always

I would have probably finished my quilt pressing/cutting tonight if my computer hadn't decided to give me the blue screen of death. 

So, off to bed I go. A half hour late, without my project finished.  However, most importantly, my computer is fixed.

Right about now...

I wish I had a design wall.

Or at least a door to my office/ sewing room to protect my work from someone.


Mainly this guy. The dog who thinks quilting stuff is yummy! Doesn't he just look so innocent there, sleeping next to my ironing board. Like he would never eat a pressing mat or a spool of thread. Or anything else he can get his big mouth on.


Oh well. I will just have to try again tomorrow.

My day off


Done cleaning for the day. Although, the house is not ready for a white glove inspection, I am hoping it is clean enough to leave the dogs out without any worry of them destroying anything. Well at least it better be, because I am getting dressed, taking them for a walk and going shopping/returning.

I mean just look at these faces. How could they ever do anything bad.  :)

Then hopefully I will still have time for quilting. I have two projects I really want to work on today. One is for my Scrap-bee Blocks.
Donkey clipping
Dustin is asking for a donkey block. They ones that have been finished are looking pretty cute.


Then I have a choice to make. I have four quilts on my to do list. One has a deadline so I will probably work on that, but I kind of want to make a quilt for myself.


Another goal I have right now is to quilt my love road quilt before Valentine's Day. I just need some batting, too bad I already used up my quilting budget for the month.
Love Road Quilt 1
Have a wonderful day!
