Thanks

Thanks for visiting. I am just putting "it" out there. If you read don't be offended. This is where I vent about my sometimes crappy life. But, I live it hopefully every day praying for a better day.. I have lost so many friends in the last three years.. If I didn't bitch.. I'd cry everyday..

Latest finish.. What can I say.. There is so much to do and so little time.. Under the weather from flu shot.. or maybe the crappy allergies... This makes me feel happy even though it is not perfect. I can remember all the quazee quilt group members .. Each flower was different size so I squared them up and did the best I could.. Turned out pretty good if I say so myself..

Two cuddle quilts for donation to the Birmingham Quilt Guild.. They require that you make up one of their cuddle quilt in a bag. It has everything.. The colors are funky using up donation fabric. And then I made a quilt using up scraps.. so of which were donated to me by my quilting friends who were throwing them out.. The cats is BQG and the logs are my scraps.. I've got another donation quilt in the works too..

It is finally raining here in Birmingham.. I think we are something like 5 to 6 inches low in water.. Fire band in effect.. This rain will help.. The lake that I walk around is so low that nothing is spilling out of any of the spillways. The sides are muddy and stinky..

Off to sew today.. Missing my quilt group in Florida..

I need discipline in my life.. Discipline to be more organized. Discipline to clean every day. Discipline to sew productively every day. Discipline to write every day. Discipline to find the good in every day. Discipline to loss weigh. Lots of challenges. Can I accomplish any of them. I'm hitting the kitchen this morning I think.. After doing a binding on a quilt..

I don't know how to smile.. how sad is that.. I have gone through 62 years and have no clue how to smile.. I may smile unintentionally.. But ask me to smile and I haven't got a clue. Now ask me to cry and I might be able to do that.. But, smile..
How do I learn to smile... My new project.. To smile more .. Even if it hurts..

Quilt pictures to come later.. My machine quilting stinks.. I can't seem to stop breaking top thread.. Do I move too quickly.. Do I use the wrong needle.. A work in progress..
Maybe my new sewing table will work.. It has it's flaws, but will work with it for now.. May design my own.. Another work in progress..

Made two table runners and gave one away. New Orleans inspired.
Quilt picture is from Birmingham Quilt Guild meeting.. I forgot who did it. But it is intense for sure .. many hours of piece. She did a prize quilt for sure.. The men on my roof.. Joy of new roof and the feeling of being dry.. Safe that is a work in progress for sure..
