I havn't started packing for our trip but I did finish my black and white quilt for a christmas gift.
By the way Christmas is LESS than two months away. I just can't believe it.
It actually snowed already at the Jersey shore yesterday YUK!
Tonight will be the start of my ironing and stacking for my packing. Can't wait to go away we are going on a cruise for 12 days to the southern Carribbean. NICE WARM WEATHER HOORAY!
Have a wonderful day All>>>***<<<<

Good morning everyone. We have LOTS of wind here yesterday and this morning. I still have not gotten started on one of the quilts that are going to be a christmas present. Seeing that October ends this week I better get started. I am still adjusting to my husband's new work schedule. Anyway Have a great day

I have had insomnia and was up all nite. I did 6 applique letters for travis' quilt.... until I ran out of black thread. Have two and 1/2 more to go.. I will have to run to town after I get off work at noon and pick up some more material and thread. I hope to have this thing done in a week.

Good Morning everyone! I've already downed half a pot of coffee trying to get warm. It's 36 this morning and that is cold for us Southerner's!

Morning....Have lots of errand today but I managed to cut out 3 pairs of pillowcases to match the gift quilts I made When I get home I will try to get them finished....If you haven't tried them and you like pillow cases...it is so much fun to make....I know it's not new but I am making some as gifts and because they are so simple I will make one for each future quilt to store them....I will know which quilt is in the case by the matching fabric. ( this would make a great tip for Els new magazine tip section if she has one)BBL Judi

Have a great warm trip...12 days WOW

Msdeets - have a wonderful, relaxing cruise. Did ya have to mention Christmas???? UGH Oh, well, I'm having my Christmas this weekend because it's the quilt show! WOO HOO day after tomorrow!!!! BOING BOING BOING

Fabricgirl - what colors are you doing your Lover's Knot? Have fun go ofing off - LOL.

Iowagal - at least you have productive insomnia! I stay in bed and flip and flop and toss and turn.

It is cold down here, as Kenderosa said. We don't normally get this until January or February. It's about 35* but the sun is shining brightly and it will be a beautiful day of 72* weather. By the weekend our days will be up to 80*. Right now, however, my feet are freezing because I didn't wear socks with my Crocs.

Cold here in SW Ohio this morning - low 30's but beautiful and sunny! It's hard to warm up when you're not used to the change! We have a visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow - my SIL passed away Sat. night unexpectedly.
I'm washing fabric AGAIN! Seems like that's all I do now! I'm in the November Charm Swap - pastels, so it all needs to be washed first. I don't usually wash pastels when I do my own.

Grammie - do you have a pattern for your pillowcases that you use and would share?? I made some several years ago to match quilts I made for the grandkids, but have no idea what I did with the instructions! Probably put it somewhere "safe" so I wouldn't loose it!lol!

Hope you guys have a wonderful time at the quilt show - I've never been to one.

BBL maybe!

fabricgirl - can't believe there's snow in NJ! What colors are you using in your LK quilt?

Iowagirl - I'm like cindyg, toss and turn instead of doing something productive! Maybe I'll try sewing instead!

Hi all. Msdeets I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise. I hope someday my hubby and I can do the same. I have always thought I'd like to be on a big ship and just cruise along. Enjoy! Hope to sew a little more on my Christmas stockings. Got one finished last night starting another today. Have a happy day everyone!
