Having a grand time!

Tuesday we went into Paducah and shopped and shopped and shopped and then dropped! LOL Picked up some nice fabrics at Eleanor Burn's tent sale for $4.00 a yard....found some neat applique type patterns and a few other things. Will post pics once I get them downloaded. Today is the day we are going to the Show and see all the quilts and then more shopping and more shopping. Weather is nice, however yesterday it felt like Florida! Cool mornings and warm afternoons...

Note to self!

Remember to pack numerous pairs of jeans and the camera cord and the chap stick....Got up to Tallahassee and discovered I don't have the cord to download the pics to the laptop....hopefully Shirley's printer has a slot for my card, if not I'll be hitting Walgreens. Made a trip to Target to get chap stick and a couple CD's for the car, forgot those as well....and then we found a Beall's so I could pick up a pair of jeans....me thinks Ineed to make a packing list and print it off next time we go somewhere! LOL

Oh my! Vacation starts tomorrow!

I can't wait!! Tomorrow at 3 when I leave work vacation starts and I don't have to be back until either the 5th or 6th of May! Probably the 5th just so the boss and I can play catch up! LOL I have been busy this week paying bills, balancing the checkbook, doing some sewing and taking a class. Also making lists of things to do and trying to get them done.....and of things to pack...It is another gorgeous day here and I wish I didn't have to go to work. Here is a pic of the partial top from class Tues night....I want to rip off the one row and get it better matched up...

Sunday Report April 13th

This week wasn't a big week as far as getting things done. I did complete 2 Sunbonnet Sue blocks and picked out fabric for backing and binding for 2 quilt tops. I also got the Yellow Brick Road blocks sewn into a top! The fabric is all washed and ironed....now to get it sewn into backings and bindings. Not sure that will happen tonight as I am tired. I also got one Sock block cut out and pinned and a few stitches taken on it as well. I'm counting my totals for stashbusting the same as last week, since the backings aren't done. Will add them into next weeks totals. We are getting excited...our vacations start on Friday the 18th after work and we will be in Paducah for the Quilt Show! Yahoo!

Fabric Added Year to Date - 19 5/8 yards
Fabric Used This Week - 5 1/2 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date - 44 3/8 yards
Net year to date: 24 3/4 yards used

Late, late Sunday Report

Well there really isn't a whole lot to report for the past week. Was still battling the crud! I am so over it and want it gone....DH finally went to the Doctor on Monday and he had to get a chest x-ray and was given prescriptions for an anti-biotic and steroids. Now to hear what the x-ray showed.

On the quilting front I did get 1 Sunbonnet Sue block completely done via hand applique and got my Yellow Brick Road blocks sewed into a top. Which I actually sewed up on Sunday so guess really that is for next weeks report....oops! And I made a star pillow. The fabric was provided by the quilt shop so no in or out on that one!

My totals for this week are the same as for last week.

Fabric Added This Week - 2 1/2 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date - 19 5/8 yards
Fabric Used This Week - 5 1/2 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date - 44 3/8 yards
Net year to date: 24 3/4 yards used

Here's the Yellow Brick Road top....
