A Whole Lot of Nothing Much

 

It’s been almost a whole week since I last blogged … you’d think I’d have a lot to report … but then again, those of you who’ve followed along for very long probably already know that’s not necessarily the case.  It was a busy, fun, exhausting 6 days … just not the most exciting for blogging about … but  that’s my life these days, and truth be told, I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Winking smile

 

Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent at an out-of-town swim meet.  Because of the Ts’ age range, we were there from the time they opened the doors until the last event … that made for some pretty long days, but I just love seeing this:

and especially this:

My neighbor and I were going to go walking this morning, but I passed … I can’t remember the last night I got a good, full night’s sleep … besides, I’d rather stay inside where it’s warm and cozy when it looks like this:

and feels like this:

Besides, I haven’t picked up my needle and thread since Thursday … I’m long overdue for a day spent quilting!  Winking smile

 

Over the last week, I’ve come across a couple of “funnies” that you who are quilters might enjoy:

Quilter - broke

Quilting - truth!

 

Time to get up and get reacquainted with my needle and thread.  Have a terrific Tuesday, you all!

  2. I love most sporting events as it is, but when you add grands to the mix well now it is really a win win...I honestly don't know if I COULD walk when it was only 13 out, lol Maybe I would be used to it, but that just sounds soo cold I think I would be in doors too. I used warm and natural on mine quilt. I used it on all of my runners too and also on the burp cloths when I make them. I love the stuff. It adds just the right amount of warmth and thickness to the quilts in my opinion. And I agree with you btw, TOO much quilting takes away from the work rather than enhancing it. But I have seen some truly beautiful pieces. I am going to bind the quilt this morning and really hope it goes well. I got it squared up yesterday and I was soo nervous about that for some reason. It came out well so I am glad it is behind me. I want it perfect...TOO much to ask, lol? Enjoy your day Kathy!

  13. That was a lot of time watching swim meets but I know it was worth it! It's been chilly, stay warm and I would have stayed inside too.
