behind times

I have never been the kind of person to jump on the band wagon so to speak. Remember when clam diggers AKA; highwaters, came back into vogue? I giggled and said " I have always had a problem with pants being long enough, I'll be darn if I am going to buy them that way. Well, I succumbed after a few years and then thought I was right with it. Ha! Point is: I just recieved (i before e except after c) received my copy of....TA DA..drum roll:::::::::::::
DENYSE SCHMIDT QUILTS Whoo Hooo! I think I rather enjoy being part of the middle of the band wagon instead of the very end.
Thanks for the dinner suggestion. Note that is singular. Not plural. I don't grill out well. That was always Big Daddy's job. So, I guess I shall miss my Friday night ribeye this summer. Tonight it willl be: Hamburger steaks with mushroom sauce (that's fancy for gravey, and even fancier for Campbells Mushroom soup!) brussel sprouts and Grandma Montgomery's Lemon Cheese Pie. I don't bake well either. But, was missing her and since Pillsbury makes the best pie crust in this house.. Grin!

MIA

I know I have been Missing In Action. That's 'cause I have been sewing my little heart out. DH had leave for work at 2 am the past few days and I couldn't get back to sleep. Whoo Hooo! My machine got a workout. OK, except for the thirty minutes that I sewed and sewed and sewed. Then I went to cut them apart....Drat! no bobbin thread . But, I was having fun thinking I was sewing. I am working on my little box of strings. Foundation piecing them like in the Heartstrings project . Wrong picture. Will have to see what I am doing wrong! Anyway, I've used blue for the center strip. They are fun 'cause you don't have to think about what you are doing....much that is.

I am not on NO BUY officially, (with my Stashbusters group) just try to stay that way. Made a mistake, went to Hancock's JUST to buy my 5 McCall's patterns for 99 cents each when what jumped into my arms? Well, 6 yards of batik at half price....hanging head in shame....and 9 yards of another...I am so bad. But it was half price and It begged to go home with me. The 9 yards said it would be a great backing for my "Luscious" quilt for my king size bed. Those are the fabrics on the ironing board. The other picture is of "Lot's 'O Dot's" That is my snuggle, happy quilt. And I love Dots. Like the blog

http://www.jujulovespolkadots.typepad.com/ I too love 'em. And stripes. And batiks.

Well, lets see if this blog will post as I preceive it to. Wish me luck.

OH, and let me know what's for dinner. I am fresh outta ideas...I need motivation. Please?
