Lots of Pink

I had company last weekend.

The house suddenly seemed

filled with 

PINK!

Everdeen Kate
came to visit Nana.

It looks like we had fun.

And we did.

Hope you have a fun weekend too.

Until Next Time-

The 4 B's

It was amazing how many times at the quilt store,

we would get this type of conversation.

" Hi, can I help you?"

"Yes, I need to choose some borders for 

my quilt.

 No,no, not borders, I mean backing.

Oh, did I say backing, I meant to say binding.

Or did I need batting, hmmmm."

"Sorry, I can't remember.

I know it was just one of those B words."

For the past month, I've been 

working on my Olympic quilt

which is part of the 

11 PP Plan.

The 11 Project  Progress Plan is a very clever

idea my quilt group, The Quiltie Buddies,

have been working on all year.

It involved identifying eleven unfinished projects, easy...

giving each one a number, 1-11, easy...

drawing a number each month, easy...

and then progressing that project forward, easy..

Notice the word progressing.

It is not the word, finish.

So far it's been very successful.

So back to the 4 B's.

My progress this past weekend 

was applying borders,

piecing a backing,

getting the batting,

and making binding.

The top is ready to be sent 

to my quilter.

But wait...

there seems to be something missing.

There are 80 berries missing.

I didn't fizzle out,

 just waiting.

I'm making the berries out of wool 

and adding buttons.

I didn't want the quilting to go over the wool

so to make it easier,

 I'll add those when I get the quilt back.

In the meantime,

the number 10 was drawn.

I'd better go check my list.

 Until Next Time-

Labor Day

 It seems like I have been laboring

all day, trying to get a few things done.

Some days are just like that.

One step forward and two back.

I know the excitement has been building

for the announcement of the winner

of my blog anniversary give away.

Sanford was hardly able to contain himself.

The winner is Julie.

 Thanks everyone for your nice comments.

Sanford has also been a winner.

He's done wearing his helmet,

his head is back to it's nice round shape,

and he's looking good.

I guess we are all winners

when you stop and think about it.

Take time to count your blessings.

 Until Next Time-
