Moving Day!!

Yeah!  It's finally here.  The carpet was just laid, the men are gone, and I'm ready to move what I can.

Ready to move in

Still some trim work, one more light fixture, but I can work around that.  I will post the final pics in a day or two.

You never know....

You never know how large a room really is until you have to paint it...twice!!!!

2 walls to go and that makes 2 coats.  The carpet will be here Thurs. instead of Friday so I will be able to move back in a day earlier.

This is work, I ...

Tomorrow I paint!

Well, we are all done hanging drywall, priming and patching holes.  Tomorrow I start to paint.  All 27 feet.  I picked out a light brown? latte color. Carpet is being laid on Friday.  Hopefully I can get them to come earlier as my house is a complete disaster!!  I am ...

One door is framed up.

Block of the Month

TQS BOM  #1

It works for me!

Another fan

Well. as predicted, I quilted this customer quilt with the HQ Baptist Fan Groovy board.  It looks great.  For the first time I used Signatures Pixelle thread.  Its a trilobal polyester.  It quilted like a dream!

Just want to say welcome to Matt and Bradie, and thanks for the quilting ...

Block of the Month

I just finished this Moda University Block of the month.  It took 4 days on and off.  I am keeping to my New Years resolution and using my rulers more and more.  I did the clam shell in the red border and use the swag ruler to put my spine ...

And yet another....

Take 5

The customer quilts keep coming in (yeah!) and again this one was perfect for the Baptist Fan groovy board.  For those of you who are new to quilting I highly recommend this template.  If anyone has a groovy board they use as much as I use this, please let me ...

New Years Day

Today I did something for me.  Actually it started last night.  I participated in a New Years Day mystery quilt.  You were given directions to make the quilt the day before and then New Years Day, loaded the quilt and waited for instructions as to how to quilt it.  it ...
