I'm So Happy!

all we needed was a new modem!

I actually did the *honors* of plugging it in and the modem worked!  :)  I do believe that I am one of the least techie peeps I know!  :)

Hurray for internet!  Now if I had only accomplished something in the sewing room to share!  :(

Computer Problems...

Happy Surfing and Happy Quilting!

net fabric for this year:  -22.0 yards  ~used~

work on a baby quilt

I was really struggling with exactly *what* to make.  I have made most of my *go to* patterns so I don't really want to make another yet I want something that will be quick yet *nice*~if you *know* what I mean...

I found 'Baby on the Go'....pattern here: Web Bonus from Quick Quilts Feb/March 2012 issue

I think it will work...now to shop the stash for some fabric!  or maybe the quilt store for baby appropriate fabric!  :)

Rainbow Crumb!

I finished the binding on the Rainbow Crumb earlier today.  DD is a sweetie~and held it for it's *glamour shot*.  At 60 x 72~Rainbow Crumbs is just a tad bigger than DD!  :)

The Curly Hearts panto by Lorien Quilting.

DD *sleeping*.  maybe.  maybe not.  :)

Friday Finish Week 22

My finish for this week is that I completed the Rainbow Crumbs to a flimsy.  Not the best of pictures but you get the *idea*  :)

Now onto the quilting and binding....

I'm linking up with AmandaJean from Crazy Mom Quilts and Sarah from Confessions of a Fabric Addict.

WIP Wednesday

Notice anything wrong?!

I miscounted the number of blue block parts and I am short two.  Need to sew those up then I can start on the assembly of the quilt flimsy.  :)

March Color Palette Challenge

When JudyL posted about the year long Color Palette Challenge, I didn't think I would join in. But them I saw her basket quilt, here and developed a serious case of *basket envy*.  Not fatal but I had the urge to make myself a basket wall hanging. 

I found this May Button Wall Hanging from Joined at the Hip  (you will need to scroll down to the May Button Up picture!) on my friend's LindaJ's blog and thought I could make that!

Vicki provides the Color Palette and this was March's colors.

This is my basket quilt for the March Color Palette Challenge.  Now hanging in the family room where the Valentine Wall Hanging was!  The basket of flowers should be able to *hang around* for a spell.  :)  The yellow is actually brighter but is washed out in the photo....   :(....

To see *what* I was doing yesterday instead of sewing, click here.  make sure to scroll to the video portion and *watch*!  First man off the bench to aid Jeremy Smith is non other than Mr. Brodie Dupont~one of DD and my scrapbook players!  Brodie is so mild mannered when you talk to him!  :) Hard to believe he was first in the Super Scrum!

Design Wall Monday

This Monday my design space is my ironing board.  I have been making the Rainbow Crumb quilt parts.  :)
