Well bloggers, I made it to the sweet age of
53. Boy does it feel great. I really mean it. Life if good, retirement is really working out and I can sew and embroidery to my little heart's content. So "Happy Birthday" to me!
To celebrate my birthday, I called up a few of my wacky friends to go with me to Waxahachie, Texas. (
Molly, Annie and
Jerri) There we visited one of our favorite quilt shops....Common Threads. Once inside we each split up to do our own thing. My technique is to circle the floor area like a buzzard then
dive in for the kill or carcass.......LOL........this is the beginning of the diving.
On to the Fat Quarters. A few years ago, I was not a fan of FQ's for this reason. I'd get started with a project and run out of that certain FQ. But recently, I've discovered applique, embroidery and sample blocks that only need alittle bit. So I dove in with both feet. The results was that I always try to buy a good amount of FQ's everywhere I go.........LOL
I know some of you are wondering what's with the Aunt Gracie's.......well remember I told you that I'm going to be a "GoGo" (Grandma) in November.....so I'm making Angie a rug to go in front of her changing table. Surely I can have that done by November! Wish me luck, will you? I think I'll need it.
