Good Morning - Happy Sunday! Day Two of Memorial Day Weekend

It's almost 10am and I'm still in my jammas... OOHH maybe! it can be another of "those" days?? Maybe?

I just got an invite to put my blog on someone's list,, this seems to be the popular thing to do now and it uses something called Mr. Linky ( not sure of the spelling ) to do this.. but you can link up and have a whole list of blogs to see! I thought it was cool so, of course, QUILTRAMBLINGS is on it - just look for BETH.

Niki is the person who left me her blog to link up with,,, she can be found at http://justusquilters.blogspot.com/ - like I said, I'm on there under BETH. Guess this is sorta like a ring, only not LOL ! sounds strange,,, you have to keep going back to her site to get the next one,, so I guess it's like a STAR!! Yeah! a Star! - out, in, out, in -- you get the idea ( see the big cheezy grin )

ok.. enuf -- see down the list of stuff on the side and it says "Quilters Get Listed",, just click on it and VOILA!

later!

ORANGE CRUSH - STEP 4 (almost)

I spent another Sunday in my nightgown -- dontcha just love it! I had all kinds of things that I really should have gotten out to do ( like getting groceries ha! ) but I just didn't feel like getting dressed. I did do some wash, cooked lunch and dinner, got a shower, put on a clean nightgown ( just love it! ) and sewed! I have Step 4 almost all done! They started looking like this all sorta pushed together I'm thinking I like my color choices ( gee hope this all goes together good! ). My 4-patch squares are dark blues, purples, greens and black with beige lights. I think the starts really jump out - which I hope is good!

I took some time out this afternoon and watched the movie "LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA" ... it was pretty good and I do like to just sit and watch a movie instead of listening to it while I sew ( does anyone else do this? LISTEN and do something else too?). So after dinner, the CMA awards are on TV so I figured THIS is a good thing to just listen to and I can sew these blocks together. This is what I have so far I think I'm pleased. It's just too late to sew the three rows together - I don't feel like hooking up the iron and getting all hot with the steam... so this can wait till this week.

Oh! Checked all the parts I have made in step 2 and 3 and I still have to press step 2 open! Maybe I'll wait till I sew these rows together then press them all at the same time.

Ok, Carrie Underwood just won some award, I think it was female vocalist of the year... and my eyes are half shut, the fingers don't hit the keys right...

time for bed

Arlington Quilt Show May 2008

went to the quilt show yesterday.,, it's a small show but had some great quilts! met my friend and oohed and aahhed over the ones that she had submitted... I don't have the guts to do that yet - gee! will they let you do it as ANONAMOUS?? then maybe I would submit something. But until then,,, I'll just look!
AND believe it or not! I did not spend any money! There were about 20 vendors there and I found nothing that I couldn't walk away from! Of couse there were not any stupendous deals - like batiks for $4/yard ( now that one I would have to pay some serious attention to LOL!) and there really isn't anything I need. How will I ever use up what I have if I don't use it ???

AARRRGGHHH I'm a HOARDER !!! That's it,,, I just love to have it, look at it,, touch it,, roll in it,,, (( ? )) I just want to own it ALL!

aaahhhh -- I've come clean and confessed...

Ok, so here is a slide show of the quilts and up close and personal things I thought were cool. I haven't edited anything yet so I'm not sure that everywill be good... but at least it will give you an idea.

Enjoy!
