T. G. I. F.

In the past I limited my creativity because it didn't "fit" into other people's boxes.

In the present I struggle to get myself to create.

In the future I vow to make more things that make me happy. - Me


I'm running out of things to say, or maybe I've just discovered that for all my whining that no one listens, I just really don't have that much to say :-P Anyway, I'm going to keep on bloggin' anyway because recently I've been reading a zillion blogs and what I have noticed is that everyone starts out pretty slow you have to find your groove for what you are trying to express.It also seems to have a very therapeutic effect for the writer so I'm looking for some of that. I'm not sure yet what all will be here, but for now I'm just going to put up some random things until something clicks.

There will be pictures Monday of sewing projects because I have two projects picked out to work on!!


This will be my first clothing sewing adventure in a long while, and they have been very few even then. But I signed up for this course, xxxx crossing fingers, I think I've finally got all the materials collected.

Not sure how you do this, maybe you have to be naked for it to work? LOL



I'm making the "mock" or muslin out of this cotton fabric, just for fun.
The girl giving the class is all tattooed up and I joked that I was gonna put the roses and skulls on my dress!

My other project for this weekend is to get my top together for my double wedding ring.

The person who is running the quilt along has developed some personal issues and is not keeping up with the schedule she set so after this next set of directions where I learn to sew my arcs, onto my background, I am going to go ahead and finish.

I can hardly wait, I'm so very excited, I've made somewhere around 20 full size/queen size quilts in my life and don't own any! This is mine, it won't be full size but a throw, but I'm excited to make something to keep. 
The 100 or so 'ARCS'

 Background pieces and 'corner stones'


Should turn out something like this. Four rings wide and 5 long.

Well I hope you have a great weekend, I've got alot to do, and Ms. Josephine the 3 yo will have her say in much of it I"m sure.

LOVE that roses and skulls fabric, and I hope you keep the muslin if this is the fabric you are using for it!
The double wedding ring quilt is going to be lovely. I've made one, but haven't shown it on my blog yet... ;)
thanks for the vote of confidence on my granny squares skirt!

Hi!
What a nice fabric for a muslin! I hope it turns out right so you can wear it outright.

I love your quilting, the arcs are so interesting!
