I signed up for TQS (The Quilt Show)'s yearly Block of the Month. First time in about 9 years. It's called Homeward Bound and designed by Sarah Fielke. I bought the background fabric from TQS but am going to try & shop from my stash as much as I can for the other fabrics. After a shaky start (I ordered the required 1/4" bias tape online but when it arrived, it was 3/8" wide and a darker than I expected), I got things back on track by simply making my own. Sarah recommended bias tape with fusible backing but neither what I ordered online or made myself had it - I just used my Roxannes glue baste it and it worked just fine. Month One is completed.
Now, I just need to find my Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Circles that are here SOMEWHERE in my home. I can borrow a set from one of my cousins - or I could just buy another set, but you know that as soon as I do either, they will show up. Or at least that's how it usually goes...I say this because, while looking for the circles I found the stencils thats I couldn't find about a year ago and ended up having to buy a new set.
Oh Oh! I have to share this with those of you who aren't Katiemaytoo. She presented me with these yesterday. Thank you, Katie :)
There's kind of a long story that goes with it, but to make it shorter....one time when she was checking on our cats while hubby and I were on one of our trips, I came home to find this guy...
sitting on a table next to the couch. Actually, our dog, Buddy, noticed it first and was hoping it was for him. No, it was for me....I get distracted easily - apparently like the dog in the movie UP.
Got a call early this morning from 'the spa' Mo'e is at ...he's ready to be picked up...just as soon as I sell my first born child (who needs two daughters anyway). Just kidding...it's more than I thought it would be but still not outrageous. We're going to try and pick him up on Saturday while we're on that end of town visiting my nephew at his new apartment.
OK, got to give Buddy treats.
Take care
