gotta get something done….

Friday, March 13th, 2009

And some inspirational to get something accomplished today:

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind. – uknown

It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, “Always do what you are afraid to do.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (love that guy)

Little by little one walks far.

Fat Quarters

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

When I started quilting, I didn’t see the point of fat quarters. How could you buy so little of a fabric you loved???? I’m not sure what I was thinking. Fat quarters are wonderful – read cheaper. 

Browsing around the other day, I found a blog with a list of fat quarter blogs. I think I’ll make a mouse pad. The purse is adorable, plus the tissue holders! There are way too many to pick from. I’m hoping maybe I’ll have enough in scraps to make some of the smaller things.

Quick Quilts Issue

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

 

After months of saying their new website was going to be launched soon, McCall’s Quick Quilts finally did launch their new site. Much better design.

 

Bad part is that I’m not all that crazy about any of the patterns. I think I may just skip this issue.

oh how I dream to make…..

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Pillows!! I have way too many books on making pillows. Patterns coming out of my ears! For once I should stop collecting and start making. 

Check out this pillow by LucyKate:

Now that’s what I want to be to do.

ugh! daylight savings

Monday, March 9th, 2009

I can’t seem to wake up. Losing an hour has really messed me up. Next year I move the clock ahead Friday night instead of Saturday night. If only I had thought of it earlier!!
