Sept 6, 2011 The day after Labor Day

Hi,
It is Tuesday, the day after labor day, it has been hot and muggy and rainy all day.
The first thing I did on labor day was head to Rosie's Quilt Store for her annual employees scrap sale. I got there right at 9:00 am, which is the time she said they would open, but some other quilters were all ready looking through the stuff. Anyway I got a package of batik fabric all cut out into Drunkard path pieces. I did not know that there were so many ways to put together that quilt pattern.

I spent alot of Monday sewing the parts together. Now how to lay then out with so many choices.
My new motto, : "Sew and quilt now, House clean when ever" well that is what I did with my labor day.
However I also planted more veggies in the garden, put more fertilizer around the yard, washed the dogs, and cleaned cat litter boxes. Then made dinner and watch a DVD while I took paper off the back of squares. Also, drank alot of coffee, played with the kittens, sweep the front porch.... did more sewing, and answered emails.
Today Tuesday I have to go work at the quilted rose longarm quilting gammill center.
My cloths are in the dryer and still have to be ironed, so I better get going.
Have a great day.
Nancy

Those UFO - Unfinished Projects Sept 1, 2011

I have been trying as always to finish the UFO's
My Friend Bea Morris, from Stitch and Bitch, taught me how to make Eleanor Burn's Whirligig ,
here is the link to her video demos, so last night I made two of them in put them into the Purple UFO stash quilts. Today I plan on doing a few more in different sizes and also getting out some more purple and making more purple squares.

But before I do that I have to: go swim for an hour, my friend Gretchen is coming over to look at why I have so much Spasm on the computer... Feed the 2 dogs, and 6- yes, 6 cats, 2 of them are young kittens. Also, water the vegetable garden, Wash cloths, go to Kaiser and get my meds...Wash the 4 Runner, by that time it will probably be 6:00 p.m. and it will be time to make dinner and go back to sleep. OH, yes I also need to make more Lemon curd... I made some the other day, but it is now gone into tummies of friends and neighbors.
I need a personal assistant, and also need to win the Lottery so I can afford a personal assistant.
In fact while I am at it, I need an assistant to just come over and sew my quilts for me, and I can just draw pictures of what I want.... my dream also includes.... : > ) ....
OH, well I better get started or it will be noon and I'll still be sitting here, I have been up since 5:30 a.m. San Diego Ca. time, and all I have done is computer work.

Have a great day.
