Quilters TV

Just wanted to share this site. It isn’t new but I don’t think it is getting enough attention. I hope they keep adding new video. I also like it because you can see them when you want to. Here is the link to Quilter’s TV .

Guild was great yesterday, we had a guest speaker from Atlanta whose name is Marquetta Bell-Johnson. You can click on her name to see her site and you can read more about her here too. She is very well known to many and has appeared on HGTV as well as being shown in many galleries. I tell you what after seeing her work and seeing how she overcomes being handicapped it makes you realize you have no excuses. You see she quilts with one hand because she has to use her other hand to push down on the sewing machine pedal. Her dyed fabrics are very awesome and I would love to take a class from her in the future. She is very funny as well so listening to her was a joy.

Well I received great news today. My CT scan shows no sign of Cancer, I am hoping that means that now I can get my repair surgery started. The CT scan did show Pansinusitus and that may slow the repair phase up a bit. Thanks for all your prayers everyone, as usual prayer works. Having my nose repaired is going to be a painful process considering most of the top of my nose is gone but hey we can’t have everything. I just Thank God I didn’t lose so much that I would have had to wear a prosthetic nose.

I have been cleaning up my hard drive because I am getting ready to re-partition the main drive by combining 2 partitions, so I have been busy cleaning off one of the partitions. With all the Microsoft updates and programs I use, my main drive is sitting at 500kb.

I did sit and sewed on my applique project while I watched my CSI that I Tivo’d on Thursday. Poor Keppler. what a bizarre twist that was.

I didn’t get to quilt today though but I will have time to do that while my drive is partitioning.
I know that I am going to do an allover flower pattern and some feathers so I can practice doing those too.

Just a couple of quick notes

I fixed the comment problem. Thank you to those that emailed me that you couldn’t see the image with letters. You will now be able to leave comments again. As usual I always read them and check them for spammers before I make them viewable on the website.

Please say a Prayer for the family of Anna Nicole Smith. How tragic for a newborn daughter to have to grow up without her mother. Regardless of how she lived her life, the end is very sad. I pray she receives the comfort from God that she never found in this life. She was a beautiful woman who is a perfect example of how money and fame are not what makes people happy. I am sure she missed her son horribly as I am sure that this had much to do with her early death.

I am off to work on my hand applique today and I may get the quilt on the frame quilted up this evening.  Have a wonderful Friday everyone.

Too much talking, had way too much fun today

Well I was hoping to get a photo up tonight of a partially finished jacket. My friend Chere came over and we had the customary Dunkin Donuts with coffee before we sat down to sew. We got all the fabric precut for the jacket and got some of the pieces sewn as part of step one and that is as far as we got. We had more fun laughing and talking and so sewing wasn’t the main focus. Next thing I knew, it was 1:30. We had a quick lunch and then back to talking, I mean sewing. I hope to work on the jacket more this weekend.
I did sit down this evening and worked on my hand applique project. A few more pieces and I can post that here as well.
I am really looking forward to March, but my big event this year will be Applique on Tampa Bay. Hope to see you there.
