HERE'S YOUR SIGN moment. You all remember that song. By Bill Engvall

"I just hate stupid people.
They should have to wear signs that just say I'm stupid.
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you?
You wouldn't ask them anything."


Well...his song is quite humorous.

Well....You see my pfaff...I have it sitting on the kitchen table.

Notice the table leg.....

So I am sitting down, getting ready to sew.... I have my foot on the pedal
but the machine won't go.....

What is up with that...???

Until it dawns on me, I am using the table leg's foot for a pedal....

Here's my sign!!



Have a fabulous day!

KEY FOB GIVEAWAY!!!

Guess how many key fobs, those that guess right will have their numbers thrown into a hat and I will give away one key fob and a few key fob hardward so you can make your own.

I have a multiple of things going on over here but nothing worth sharing.....

GIVEAWAY CLOSED....THANKS FOR COMING BY!

PASSING OF A QUILTING FRIEND.

Some of you know Sandy(no blog) from her sweet comments on your blog. Some of you know her from her sweet emails encouraging you on. She had the ability to love others and to make one feel special. What a true friend and blessing she was in my life.

She passed away on April 29th.

I have been out of town for a week, was suppose to be gone longer. All my post last week were preposted. Sorry for the second post today.

Sandy was on my mind alot while I was gone and so it was not a shock to find that she had passed away when I got home this morning.

I am so grateful to have known her....we had planned several times to meet but the day I was to go over was the day she became really ill.

Wish I had a picture.

When I am dead, my dearest
by Christina Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest,
  Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
  Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
  With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
  And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
  I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
  Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
  That doth not rise nor set,
Haply* I may remember,
  And haply may forget

LINGERING LOG CABIN....

Here are five more log cabin blocks..... I so enjoy the colors....

Here are nine of the ten blocks....

There is definitely something to be said for taking a picture of your blocks together before you sew them...I do not like how this looks....so when I get them all sewn....I will definitely take a picture before I sew.


I got the "Swanky Honey Bun" from Inchworm Fabrics

PREP WORK!

Sometimes do you find that the prep work takes longer than the actual project?

I have been cutting these fabric scraps (and true to form, there are more scraps left than when I started...are they like worms, you cut them in half and they multipy)? I don't get it???

These fabulous scraps will make these key fobs......oh yes....when I get on a fettish, I ride the boat all the way in.....no stopping me.....until I get my fill...



Good thing it is not chocolate!!
