January 2007

Well I sure have started the year off with a bang. I am now the newsletter editor and web page designer for two local guilds. Cherokee Rose Quilt Guild and West Georgia Quilters Guild. I am also now the secretary for the Georgia Quilt Council. I think that is enough for now. I am enjoying every minute of it. I am working on the graphics for both sites and that is very time consuming but I really want to bring those sites up to date with standards. I also hope to work on the graphics for this site later in the year.

I had a wonderful Christmas and actually got 2 quilts done for gifts for some family members. I have apicture of one of the quilts. It was a precut strip kit that I bought at Red Hen Fabrics, it went together really easy too.

I also received a wonderful gift from my husband before Christmas which allowed me to finish the quilts even quicker. He gave me a Pfaff Grand Quilter with the new Grace Frame. I really like both but the sure take up space in my sewing room. As any quilter I can manage though.

The other quilt was made by piecing together Georgia Bulldop fabric and dotted black fabric into 4 patches and then I used fleece for the backing.  I ended up piecing the back by taking red and black fleece and I made a large 4 patch with those for the back. Tricky part was making sure they were straight on the frame before I quilted it to the top.

I am still loving hand applique and that is what I hope to work on next. I miss sitting down and hand sewing.

I have a Doctor appt tomorrow with an Oncologist. After all that radiation I had on my face last January, I managed to get more Cancer right back in the same place.  I am looking forward to getting my nose fixed. After the two Moh’s surgeries I don’t have much nose left. Keep me in your prayers.

Be back tomorrow with hopefully great news.
