Valentine Sewing Party...WhoHoooo!!!




UPDATE 1/27/10 @ 11PM

DONE! What a party!?!?!?!


UPDATE 1/24/10 @ 1130PM

Ok, Brett & the boy's didn't win but that's okay because the best team won...I'll be rooting for the Saints in the SUPERBOWL!!! So during the game I was able to load my quilt & I just finished quilting it about 15 minutes ago...who could sleep after a game like that?  Anyhoo, at least that part is done & I will be working on my binding when I get home from work tomorrow...speaking of work, I need to go to bed. Hope everyone had a nice Sunday...

UPDATE 1/24/10 @ 4PM CST



I got the border on and it measures 43 x 54.  I ask my DH what he thinks and he says 'It would look better if you could add a pink & green outer/inner border.'  He took the words right out my mouth! I'm going to get over it because I'm not getting online to find the fabric & then wait about a week for it to get here.  I'm hoping to get it load on Bessie before Brett starts playing. I can't wait to get this one done!

UPDATE @ 10PM
I would have posted an update 2 hours ago but there was a storm & we lost internet access.  After Open Range I put this movie in...

And ended up sewing all my blocks together...

All I have left is adding a 4 inch, white border and I'm done.  I'm hoping to finish it up by tomorrow.  It has been one AWESOME PARTY! Thanks to Kelly & Joan!!!


UPDATE @ 3PM

I'm liking the baby sized quilts...makes me feel like I'm getting something done! Now I'm going to sew it together.  On this quilt, I hope I did a better job of using the ruler better to trim the blocks...we'll see.  Hope everyone is having fun...haven't hear of anyone wearing a lamp shade yet! LOL!


UPDATE @ 1145 AM CST

Now I'm on to pressing & trimming...oh, and just finished watching 'Sleepless in Seattle'.  Got the iron heating up & putting in 'Open Range'...Kevin Costner is HOT!!!  Not to mention that the movie is visually a beautiful movie...I'm having FUN! Hope everyone is too!!!!


 Hey everyone..LET'S PARTY! I thought I'd get some of my fabric ready last night...I thought wrong.  That's ok though because I'm going to party ALL DAY LONG!!!  After my coffee, I will be starting on this...
