It's been a LONG time!

I know, what in the world have I been doing? Sheesh? Or may be I'm the only one that was thinking that. HA!
I took a break from quilting for basically the entire summer. And then part of fall, too. But the holidays are coming and I needed to get my butt back in gear. And I'm so happy I did!
I finished the 'Big Wonky Pinwheels' quilt this past weekend. I like now so much more than I did at first. Meatball likes it too. I also made a baby quilt for a dear friend in Germany... I stippled it, and I think I'm getting better... And the back.... I'm liking white right now. That's it for now. Hubby is trying to watch more 'Pacific' and I'm holding up the showing... More later!

I chose all of the fabric for the quilt - a lot of the blue and green fabric and cut four 5.5 inch squares out of each one. After putting them up on the design wall, moving them from straight rows to diagonal rows and adding a few extra squares I have this: What a fun looking quilt so far! I'm sure I'll move some prints around but I like where this is going.

(Short pause to check this out...brb) 

Sorry for the long pause, but little ol' me got PNEUMONIA! I can't believe it, except that I feel horrible so it must be true. I'm on the up swing now, thank goodness. so I'll be back to being crafty and quilting soon enough.

Last weekend I made a couple more patchwork pillows for a friend. Her 15 m.o. has been carrying them everywhere he goes, so I'm gonna say they are a hit! I hope everyone has a great 3 (or more) day weekend if you're in the U.S. I'm gonna spend mine sleeping if all goes as planned!!

Patchwork Pillows

Aren't they lovely? Training Days and Rain

This week is going to take FOR-EV-ER. I'm in a training course for a certification I want to get for my job and boy is this thing boring. Luckily I like the content. That's the only good thing I can say about it. And it gets me out of going into the office for 5 days. (which can be good or bad)

It's pouring buckets here today so being locked in (I'm joking) a basement room in the middle of the city doesn't seem as bad as it would if it were sunny out. Hopefully the weather will break so I can walk around during our lunch breaks. Here's for hoping!

This past weekend I finished two pillows for the living room. I'll post pics when I get home. They were supoer quick and easy to do and they look fantastic. I need to decide what to do to the larger ones still. I'm thinking big and bold.

I think this is the first weekend this year that I didn't start or finish a quilt. GASP. It seems wrong to say that now. It's ok, I still love you quilting. We will be back in full swing this weekend I promise.

ANYWAY, enough ramblings, back to the quilt-ness. Quilt Inspector #1 Quilt Lover #1 Quilt Inspector & Lover #2
