Okay...so I haven't been keeping up my blog. Maybe someday I'll do that. LOL!!!

I am so jazzed though!!! Last night at our local quilt meeting, the husband of one of our members taught us to use those round 'knitting' looms. IT IS SOOOO COOL!!! Now...we made little teeny hats...think newborn, maybe even preemie...but a great place to start! I got one hat done last night...I felt so proud. LOL!!! Then tonight, one of my DQF's, Carol, and I decided to try to make another one. Took about 2 hours (last night probably 2.5-3), but made a little one in pink. These are just too cute!!! I can see lots of these for the local NICU or similar in the future. Especially since the weather is turning cooler!!!

Joann and Betty came over to the quilt house today to work on projects. Betty was cutting out an Easy Peasy, but made a miscut (she was taking some heavy duty antihistimes), so she pretty much put her stuff aside for the day. Joann and I were laying out her 3rd quilt, trying to get a good pattern. First, we tried random, but didn't like it, so did a diagonal type pattern...it really looks good. She got 2 rows sewn, and has some sashing to do on the other 3 rows/blocks to go. Another day or two and she'll have another quilt top. Her 2nd one is at the quilter now...

I also made a complete quilt top today (a baby gift for a friend in CO), and another that just needs the borders. Now...the 1st top was completely cut out (well, except for the sashing), but it went together like 'buttah'...I was so pumped! Then, I took out some blocks I had sewn at Carol's the other night, laid them out, sewed them into rows and then a top. It needs 2 borders, then naming, label and off to the quilter. I already have the backing. No pics yet as they are gifts...

I have to say...it just feels so good to get back into the groove of sewing/quilting/crafting again. I know I'll still have some bad days, and some days my mind 'scatters' easily, but when I get on a roll like today, it's a good thing!!! I just might get some things done in time for the holidays!!!

Sunday, will sew again...making a challenge block that must be mailed by Monday. I'll finish the borders on the 2nd quilt from today, and tet it ready for the quilter. I have one more that HAS to be done 'yesterday'...I have the fabric, but was having a hard time thinking of a pattern. DQF Carol suggested a Sudoku (that puzzle game) quilt...found one online, and I think it's perfect!!! Hope so, anyway...I'll cut it out on Sunday...hope to get part of it sewn too.

When I'm on a roll...
