JANUARY 1, 2008 SEW-IN

[lifeisgrand]

Yep, I've been a sewing my heart out this afternoon! Trying to get my third UFO done. (The other two that are done are posted by Cindy B from the "Show and Tell" we had at our get together!) This project is a Kansas Troubles Jelly Roll project called "Prairie Path". One roll would make a lap size quilt, so I bought TWO jelly rolls to make a queen sized quilt. Just about done making the blocks and it won't be long till I start sewing the blocks into rows!

Evie- I loved your blue/red quilt! Eye-catching!

LittleBit- Wow! Your block's colors really grab one's attention! The black background was a good choice. And, of course....one can NEVER go wrong with a blue/yellow color combo!

Well, gang, I will be back shortly; but I'm getting hungry so will go put the "Feed Bag" on. Heck, I feel like I've been 'grazing' the entire week! YIKES!!! But that doesn't stop me from grabbing a bite to eat now!!! LOL

Back from supper......that should last me awhile. Littlebit, I love your new project, the colors are gorgeous. I didn't check out that website before, but now I think I have to.

Susanna- I feel your pain!
Don't ya just hate when you run out of bobbin thread and don't notice it right away? DRAT!

Tul ~ So sorry to hear about your bobbin. I don't have a monitor on my old machine and would run out of thread all the time. It is a great feature and has saved me on more than one occasion. Take a deep breath, wind several bobbins and play the game for awhile. Then hit it again and show that machine who is boss!! LOL
Happy stitching!!

Tul Hugs I can't tell you the number of times that has happened to me.

Littlebit your block is beautiful! I love the black background.

I managed to get my center medalion designed I may even get my but to my sewing room and sit at my drafting table to transfer the designs to the heat and bond or pick out some fabric or something.
Gotta get out of the lazy its a holiday mood cause its back to real life tomarrow. My DH has been home the past 12 days I think I may be ready to have my house back.

I'm with you MAWmum, mine has been home about the same amount of time but he has been sick for the last 4 or 5 days. Yuck.

[Littlebit]

I'm ready to claim my house back too. My son has been out of school for 2 weeks now and finally goes back to school on Thursday!! Yipee Love them dearly, but I need my quiet

[MAWmum]
