I have been asked from a few bloggers where I have been. Well I'm not much of a blogger but I love to follow the blogs I follow but hate to blog .
Now that summer is over I now have a cold and I hate it. Makes me very tired. So very tired.
I had to take my sewing machine in to get fixed. They had it for 2 weeks when I went to pick it up i was not fixed. They sent it back and had it for another 2 or so weeks. When I went to pick it up your right it still was not fixed. I had to do a swap so I had to take it as is and finish my swap and I brought it back to get fixed. Now they have had it for almost 4 weeks and now I have it in my hands. I will use it hopefully this weekend and hope its all OK.
Next I am going to start working extra extra hours from now to Christmas so I will not be blogging I hope to still follow but not every day. So if you don't hear from me I'm not dead.
If you are in the siggy swap and I have forgotten to send you your siggy please let me know. I try to keep all the siggies in order but I have been making some mistakes. So please remind me if you didn't get yours.
My PIF I am late but almost done. SO I hope to get them done and mail them out ASAP.
Well to the next few months of extra hours of work but I keep thinking what I can do with all my money I will make from my hard work. Guess what I thought I could buy. Yes your right some STASH just what I need more stash.
Well talk to you all sooner or later.

What I great deal

OK I am not much of a blogger but I have to say I got a great deal and thought I would share it with you. I had to buy this amount to get this deal but I know I will use it. First I do like the Steam A Seam 2 so I was able to buy it today. I got twice the width so 24 in. width and I got 12 yards and I paid 50.00. so that is 24 yards of the 12 in reg. size and I paid 2.00 a yard. Now I think this is a great deal. What do you think. I asked what the reg. price and she told me it was 12 in wide and it was 13.00 a yard. I think I got a great deal.

OK I know that I am the worse blogger but I always check you all out. And I'm glad that I have such wonderful blogs to learn from. Its been crazy here. Trying to get things done. I'm in a swap and guess what happened. Yes my sewing machine took SICK. So I brought her in and she is so sick they didn't have the part and they needed to order it. That's OK I will start using the machine I bought at a church sale. Well I thought it was working and guess what its not. So this will need to go in next. My machine should be done hopefully (Keep my fingers cross) next week and every thing is ready to finish so I should be OK. I might have to mail it over night. If that's the worse that's OK So wish me luck and I will see you all on your blog. Thanks again for all the wonderful blogs I follow.

Do you want to use your creative Brain

Well if you want to be creative here a place you can be.

Hi are you looking for another swap. Well I said no more swaps I so busy now and can not think about having another one. Well if you saw the Halloween swap that was around that Jane put together it was the best swap that I have been in. I'm new with swapping and I have not always had the best experience with it. I have to say that I wanted to be in Halloween swap and wanted to make sure I had enough for 2 quilts well I join 3 times and when I got my blocks I have to say I'm having a hard time deciding what ones to use they were that good.

Well now there a Christmas swap at http://auntpittypats.blogspot.com/ and its done the same way as Jane's was. Here Jane's blog to check out the blocks that were done I can't get the web site but here the info hopfully you will be able to find it.THE SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN THEME BLOCK SWAP 2009 from Jane's Fabrics
You can do what ever you want to do very few rules but you will not have to have it done till I think it was Jan 15. So it will not be done for this year but next year we can have the quilts done ahead of time.
I have to say I'm so excited about this swap that I have joined 5 times so if there enough of us I will be able to have 5 quilts. I'm planing one for me my sister another gift to be decided who and possible 2 for church raffles.This is how excited I am with this kind od swap. You can see the block that I did in my past blog. I'm not a great blogger because I hate the compurter.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please think about joining because I KNOW you will enjoy it a great deal.

Halloween Swap





































Well I just finished my Halloween swap and I took the photos from Jane's Fabrics and Quilts. Jane put together a wonderful swap. I have to say it was absolutely the best swap I have been in and if you ever get to be in a swap that she has put together you will love it.








So if I do it correct you are going to see the blocks I have have done.








Yes I got in 2 times in 1 group and decided this was not enough so I joined another group so I had 3 theme blocks of 12 to do and 3 different 9 square blocks of 12 each. I was busy but I also ran into a few problems. So I had to keep emailing Jane for help but I have to say she would always help me out.








So here are the photos of my blocks .

First quilt


I was asked to post some photos of my quilts. So now I can download photos so I going to start. Oct. 2008 I took my first quilting class and this is my first quilt that I made. I think it took 2 classes to finish it. She called it the 9 square block but now from the blog I hear its called the disappearing 9 block. Its small the size is 28 by 34. The quilting was stitching in the ditch. Also for my first one my back fabric is plain black I was afraid to do anything but plain. That has now change. Seeing its my first one I was so pleased. I don't have that many so I will do one at the time

Another swap


OK I have said no more swaps and here is a new siggy swap so I was lucky to join. Then this will be the last one for awhile. Sure Sherry I said that maybe 2 weeks ago and look at me. But its so much fun I love doing them. Would you like to loin.

Thanks Danielle

Trying to get the photos up I forgot to thanks Danielle for the lovely material she sent me I can't wait to see what I can do with them. But I have my other items to do first. But maybe I can squeeze it in soon. LOL
