Teeny Tiny Little Star....

How I wonder how the heck you got IN thar.....OK, I got bored with 8" Sawtooth stars and had to make them a bit more challenging.  So, I decided to add a 4" star in the belly of the 8" star.  Well that was OK for a few...but got boring again.  Sigh...  So, I added a 2" star in the belly of the 4" star.  Well, you see where I am going with this.  I had to make at least one block with a 1" star.  I learned that 1" star trick from Brenda Papadakis when I was working on my Dear Jane Papa's Star block.  Now, I got to put it to use again.  How fun is that?  Thank you Brenda for your teaching...and your friendship!

Progress!

I have finished the center of my Holiday Inn quilt and this is  a picture of my friend Lois holding the block.  Isn't it fun to quilt with friends?  I get more done that way!!

Quilting with Friend....

I am in St. Cloud, sharing some time and space with my friend Lois.  She is knocking off quilts (table runners) right and left and I am putzing along with my applique.  I am so pokey!  Anyway...we are having fun and that is what counts.  Lois is having a big birthday on Wednesday...and I wanted to be here to help ease it in.  I will add a picture or two in a bit.

Dear Jane Workday

Lots of folks showed up for our workday today...JoAnn and I were working on our Neutral Jane exchange blocks. I like the fabrics I chose. When I finish the blocks, I will have to post a picture.

I am feeling much better these days. Good drugs, I guess... I have a shot scheduled for Weds, April 1st and I am scared to death. Katie will take me to the hospital for the spinal epidural. Eesh that scares me something fierce. I hope they give me something beforehand so I don't care what they do. I am so funny about having someone touch my back anyway...this won't help a bit! I have to focus on the outcome and feeling less / no pain... I want to stop taking these drugs, they make me so sleepy!

Well..back to work on Holiday Inn and my exchange blocks...I have to get ready for my class on Thursday...

It was a....

Happy National Quilting Day! I got a lot done. I am still hand appliqueing the center for Holiday Inn and am also working on blocks for Vienna Nights. I have put the small 1" star center in it's 2" star...ready for inserting into the 4" star....that one is going to be really something to see! I can't wait to see if people notice it. I will take a picture of the block when it is done.

This has been a pretty good weekend, pain-wise...I have a follow up with the doctor on Tuesday and hope we come up with the course of action. I want to get off these pills and get my life back. I am still walking crooked and not able to go very far. I am tired of this!

I am looking forward to spending some time with my friend Lois...she has a big birthday coming up on April 1st. We will bring it in with a fun time in the sewing hole. I could use some vacation time for sure.

Equal Time....

Evil Puss demanded equal time...look at that face! He was so disgusted to see all the doggie pictures and not one of his handsome self. OK..I fixed it!













Junior Jett Man (aka Dapper Doggie) had a bath and haircut today at Shampooch. Isn't he cute?

Two years old!

Oh, isn't he cute? He is a two year old doggie today! Look at the messy sewing room...what a shame!
