Summer Stitch In too soon over

well..maybe not. I am EXHAUSTED!!! 6 days of sewing. I tried to post a picture but alas, it's not working (again). I finally completed a project on Saturday afternoon. It is a Schnibble of a pattern called Huble-a giant star. The fabric is so cute. Not a clue what I will do with it. I also am the proud recipient of one of the coveted Ka Ka awards. I really would like to show that. It is a tradition of our little band of Thimble wacko's. It is a vase/jar filled with snippets and scraps. we all trhrow into the vase during the week. I am also happy to say that I did not win any of the left/right/center games thank goodness. Saturday's game came close and I was really sweating it. I won last year and even cutting the blocks smaller ala Bonnie Hunter did nothing to improve the blocks. I finally game them all away. Maybe I will figure out how to fix the picture thingy.

Pat, Pat, Pat....what day is it???

It is hump day!!!   This week is summer stitch in in Silver Thimble Club land.  6 glorious days of sewing, laughing, eating and just plain having fun.

I seem to have made the naughty list...go figure!  I also can't seem to make the blog work right tonight.  So I'll keep writing here.  I am not getting much accomplished.  I broke the Lady GaGa ruler on Monday morning.  Marty let me borrow hers.  I cut out my pattern, worked on it today and I HATE it!!    Maybe I should just find a quiet corner and read Chris's new book. 

We have a great location with lots of room to spread out.  Today we formed the Silver Thimbles Singers.  We worked on our first song "Soft Kitty".  It need some work!

I cracked Pat up this afternoon.  It was good to see her get falling down laughing.  I have no pictures of the quilts being produced.  I was too busy whining about my lack of progress.  Pat has some great stuff on her blog, Silver Thimble Quilt Co.

Movie Date

 So before I get to the details of the movie "date", I thought I should show that I actually got some sewing done.  The block of the week was a bit behind!  I am now all caught up.  # 43-46 done!!  3 more blocks to go.

When I was up in Dalonega, I got the blue fabric for latice.  The pattern read 32 strips of each and I got enough for that.  Problem was it should have been 64.  Back to the drawing board.  I changed the nine patches to five inch squares and will finish this baby as a Just 4 U.  I need a couple of borders and it is done.  I found a piece of fabric at home that goes much better with the nine patch blocks I made.  I will finish that and it will be incorporated into a backing.  I am thinking it will be on the top that I plan to make at Stitch-in next week.

Now to the date.........are you ready???????


Emma and I went to see Despicable Me 2 this morning.  What a cute movie.  I love the minions.  I can't remember the last movie I saw.  Now I want to see the Smurf movie too!  I am sensing a pattern.

I am trying to see if this works.  I uploaded a picture and it vanishes.  I HATE this

Well maybe it will work.....

Quilt Inspector on Duty

Spooky is being is usual busy self-resting on an unfinished quilt. Binding going on for this Florida bound quilt. It has rained here in the ATL for days now.

Happy Fourth

Most independent cat (Senor Wild Willie) contemplating a very wet day.  He decides to sleep in-so what else is new.  He also lets me know that anything I make, he is entitled to cover with his fur!  Before I put the table runner on, he NEVER lounged on the table.

Just a lazy week

Hump day and what have i accomplished this week?   The only thing is the table runner from last week's workshop.  I attempted to quilt it the way Edyta demonstrated.  Well, that didn't work but I did quilt it and I am satified as it is a first try.

Speaking of hump day-I just love that commercial with the camel in it!  Marty asked me what it was advertising and I did not know.  Had to wait for it to come on again.  (It is for Geico).

Summer Stitch-in is in a couple of weeks and I am still working on what projects I am going to do.  As of now, no clue!

Maybe today I will get myself going.  I am headed for the pool this morning and then we will see!
