Lego Week!

Last weekend, we went to the Goodwill. We don't usually frequent it, but for some reason Steve was actually agreeable, so off we went. Here's what I found, and check out that price! $3.99!

Oh my! I thought it would be just a case, or just a case full of other junk, but look what I found inside!


Can you believe it! I'm never that lucky! And, I don't know who you are Tommy, but I'm glad you grew up, and passed your Legos on to me!


And to top it all off, my co-workers gave me flowers for Admin Day, and what a wonderful vase! It just makes me smile looking at it!

What a happy week! Betsy

UFO #10 Complete... A Long Time Coming

Image
Well, I've kept up with the Judy's UFO Challenge for 2 whole months in a row! We'll see how it goes down the road, but that's pretty good, for me! I started this quilt in February of 2005 (it should take 6 years to finish a quilt, right? - and it's not even the oldest one). My quilt group did a mystery quilt - a Debbie Caffrey pattern . It was "Undercover Houston V." (Oh, now I've spilled the beans on the mystery!) It was fun to do this together as a group - each person's quilt is so different ! I finished the top years ago, but as usual, got stalled at the quilting part, and put it in the "to be quilted" basket. Even on this quilt I got my sewing room all set up for quilting (table extension out, Juki out, bobbins loaded, iPod ready), and then was the living room doing something very "important" on my computer. My husband observed "You don't like this part, do you." I think avoidance is a great tactic! I gue...

Apple Crisp Quilt Done!

Image
Apple Crisp Quilt Done! , a photo by theercs on Flickr. I can hardly believe this is done! The pattern was named Apple Crisp - it hasn't told me what it's real name is going to be yet. I started this at a quilt retreat in September 2002. Wow. I don't know what possessed me to to a ton of quilting on this, but I guess I was inspired by Leah Day's quilting designs. I picked several that had a "center" type design, practiced a little and just went for it! No marking on most. It was actually fun after a while, and turned out pretty well. The border I just kind of winged. The fear factor definitely had so much to do with my ability to quilt! The back was the usual "use it up" method - extra blocks, and two panels that came with the fat quarter stack. So glad to have this one done. The quilting took me 4 days, and I wasn't sure I was going to make it! Judy's UFO Challenge is working. Yeah! Betsy

Baby Boy Quilt (in lieu of #6)

Image
Baby Boy Quilt Originally uploaded by theercs OK... for the Judy's UFO Challenge I got out my #6 quilt to do the quilting. When I put it up on the quilt wall to mull over quilting designs, it had totally wavy borders. Very weird, because I'm usually fairly careful about that. Well, due to weeks of illness, etc., I ran out of time to get that one repaired and quilted, so I opted for still completing one that was a bit easier. This one was already basted, and needed for the church babies soon, so I was able to complete it at our Quilt Retreat at Seabeck Conference Center . We had such a wonderful weekend, and it was fun to accomplish a few things! I also did the repairs on the original #6, so I should be able to get that one quilted soon as well! So, off to an OK start on my UFO completion goals! And a fun retreat to boot! Hopefully I can keep it up!
