I woke up this morning to snow, only a few inches nothing like some parts of the country are getting. The world always looks so clean with the fresh snow.
On the news I hear of places where the power is off for long periods of time and I wonder what I would do if it happened here. I should get prepared for such things.
I think I have a flashlight somewhere.
I took the day off from quilting yesterday, went to "lunch" with Jean and Marge. They have been accusing me of become reclusive. I did have a good time with lots of laughs.
Today it is back to quilting, I have the borders on the French Roses it is pin basted, ready for free motion quilting. I will work on it most of the day.
It is always necessary to take breaks when machine quilting so I will be making a few phone calls today, probably an hour each. I stay in touch with my quilting friends Marilyn and Mary Ann from Carson Wa. They are two of the most talented quilters I have ever met, I learned a lot from them. I miss our Tuesday evening get together.
When I cleaned my fabric stash closet I found so many UFO's, that I hate to think about them. At first I didn't want to make a list, that would mean I couldn't hide from them any longer.
But I have been working on the list, so far I have 12 listed. So if I do one a month I could have them all finished by the end of the year. That will be my 2008 challenge.
Coffee break is over time to get started.
Happy Quilting.
I can't wait to see the French Roses done. I have a pattern sent to me by Nadine that looks similar. It is on my list for 2008 and will go to my Mother in law. It is called Bloomin Rose. I have never done machine applique of any kind and figure this would be the place to start.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what we would do if the power went out for more than a few hours either.
Did you used to live in WA? We have recently moved away and I experience the loss of several of my friends too. It's just not the same as "physically" seeing them. Sounds like a plan to do a UFO a month. Don't list to many right now no matter how many you have. It may put pressure on that you don't want LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a challenge...one UFO a month! Good luck, please show us the results! I love seeing the French roses quilt growing...beautiful!
