CATCHING THE CURVE BALL

Sometimes life just throws you a curve ball, my only advice is to catch it and keep going.

My sweet grandson has the flu and double ear infection. My husband went down last Tuesday

to tend him while

his parents worked. I went down on Tuesday and stayed through Friday.

Why am I telling you this????

Because.................there is no sewing going on in this house. The machines are dusty and

the house is quiet.

Needless to say I have to go back tomorrow and stay again through the week.

They live two hours away which

allowed me to come home for the week-end.

Now my husband is sick....which he will just have to take care of himself...poor guy.

That being said, on Monday starts the

"Put a little Love in your Quilt" blog hop....

so glad I got my project done early.

I even have my Island Batik project done for this month as well. YEA me...we are on top

of our game (get the pun??) here at Bejeweled. Sorry....I just had to pat myself on the back

just a little.

The winner of my Island Batik Four Seasons Blog Hop is Brenda....need your address

Brenda. I will have to

apologize in advance, it may take me a while to get the package to you.

I have trouble with my thimbles too - great tip. Now I have to go to the store to get some spray adhesive!! Your tree quilt is so cute and what a great idea using the fabric to make those snap bags! And the hearts are a great way to use up that left over fabric from the tree quilt!

Thanks Brenda and a big shout out to all of you who came by and commented. Hope to see you at the hop on Tuesday (that is my day, and we all know it is about me...right????)

IT IS MONDAY!!!! WE HAVE SUNSHINE!

It sure has been a dreary few weeks but I woke up this morning to sunshine and it is reasonably warmer.

I have joined the "Put a Little Love in Your Quilt" blog hop, as you can see it is from February 5 to 8th. My day is the 6th...hope you stop on by.

Here is a little sneak peak of the quilt I have for the hop using my awesome Island Batik Fabric (scraps). I plan to use Aurifil thread to do the blanket stitching. You can go to Missouri Star Quilt Company to order some of these awesome threads, you will get them quickly.
