Happy Thanksgiving I have over 100 quilting blogs that I like to read. Thank God most of them don't update on a daily basis or I would never get anything else done! I do find when I miss a few days of checking them, it takes me a bit longer to get this job done, and because of this I find I really don't read the blogs, but look at the pictures. I only post comments when it's something important. I know I should post once in a while to let them know I was there, but hey, I like to be a lurker. These are a few of my favorites: Flat Out Quilting Quilt Dad The ManQuilter I'm Just A Guy Who Quilts LaVieEnRosie Simplify What are some of your favorite blogs to read? P.S. Love quilt blogs done by men. Us guys have to stick together. There is not many of us out there.

I'm in love with Elphaba from Wicked. Went and saw the show and it was just amazing. A few tears might have come from my eyes in the last half of the show. It just goes to show you that I too have a heart. Highlight of the show was of course Defying Gravity, For Good, and the finale when Fiyero and Elphaba embrace.. Such true love. Just thinking about this has brought a tear to my eye. If Wicked come with in a 100 miles of where you live you must go and see it. We spend time looking for just the right quilt pattern then go and shop for fabric to make this pattern come to life. We spend hours placing it together, but then get tired of it for one reason or another. I have done this on more than one occasion. I have just a few quilts that are half finished in bags stashed around the quilt room. I stopped and asked myself why we do this and I think it's because for some patterns, I'm just tired of it from making the same thing over and over. I know it will be grea...

I was driving home last night and wanted to hear some good showtunes. Nothing better than singing to your favorite songs in the car and having the car next to you look at you funny. So I woke up today and jumped right on i Tunes and made a show tunes list. I have my top 30 on there now. I need to come up with some more. Anyone care to help me out with with a few of the favorites? Why do I want to make this list? I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that I'm going to see Wicked this Wednesday night. I think it has more to do with the fact that I love to sing showtunes and I don't have any in the car. Maybe this is the gayest thing, but I think there should be a Showtunes Hero . You know like Guitar Hero, but using show tunes. Who knows, it might be a big hit. I got my issue of Quilter's World and saw this on the cover and decided I needed to make myself one. It was very easy and took no time at all. I used what fabric I had from my stash. ...

Welcome to the fist day of November and just think Christmas will be here before you know it. In fact 53 days, but who's counting. I know it's been way to long since I have done a post and I'm sorry, but I've been busy with work. If you're a Facebook friend then you know I've been selling lots of sewing machines. I had a great Saturday. I sold six machines. That was a lot of fun. I wish I could do that everyday. I've got a lot of projects that I would like to get done before Christmas. It's Under the Tree by Holly Berry Collection. There are 12 different blocks that make up this cute wall hanging for a total of 468,000 stitches. This might take awhile, but when you have 10 hour days that you need to kill it's all water under the bridge. I'm going to use corduroy as my outside border. The pattern calls for 1/4" black ribbon for the sashing and I'm going to use a fancy trim foot with a 3.0 twin needle to make quick work of th...
