New Project Challenge - March

March has not been a very good month for me - for quilting. I can't tell a story, I haven't really been very good at keeping up with anything - oh well, we all are entitled to months like this, right?

So anyway, my new project for March is going to be the Birthday Quilt from ohfransson.com. Mine is going to be in tans, cremes and browns. Tres Neutral.. and I think I'll do some straight line quilting on it so I can call this one completely done by me

Here are my fat quarters, the ones on the top are for the light and dark stripes in the middle of the blocks. Whatchathink?  I think it will be a great looking quilt ( I hope! )

I have a retreat coming up in a couple of weeks. I'll get it cut out and take with me --  think I can get it done in a day?

What do YOU think about Pinterest?

So the debate is on - to Pinterest or not to Pinterest.  What do you think? I'm still scratching my head and going 'hmmm' about the whole deal.

On one hand, I hope EVERYONE pins what I have made from my blog so the whole wide world can see it.
On the other hand, I understand copyright questions.

And, if you have something on the internet, is it free for all or not?

See me scratching?

I LOVED going to all the different boards on Pinterest and seeing all the cool stuff that people found, all the great food ideas and recipes, all the terrific quilts and sewing thingys that people found.  It was a good addiction to me.

Does it hurt anyone? I don't know. I don't want to hurt anyone. I even closed my account so I wouldn't accidentally hurt anyone or make someone upset.

I don't want to steal someone's ideas. Or take money from their pockets.

But gee, I enjoyed seeing everything.
And I enjoyed "pinning" - it was fun.

So what are ya'll thinking about the Pinterest debate? To Pin, or Not To Pin, that is the question.

Do you See it?

this is one of the Just Takes 2 blocks ---  aarrrggghhhh --  do you see it??

Blue and White Quilt blocks - Just Takes 2

I just made the deadline to have this set of blocks done - whew! but don't tell anyone, the applique still needs to be done on the last block :)  But they're done!  And guess which one I don't want to do again? I'm not going to tell, you have to guess ( hint - the side white pieces were a bugger to sew in )

On to the next set...  oh wow, and I've seen them --  oh wow...

Sewing makes Me Feel Good!

Sewing makes me feel good!
