WOW I am more talented than I thought

I figured out how to add music. Spent all night picking songs, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. If you like my music taste and think I have forgotten any songs or artists please comment and let me know. I am sure I am missing some good stuff. :) Jeanne

Suz Guz BOM-This is January 2008

Ok, promised some quilt photos so here we go, this is what I am working on right now, well this is 1 of the things I am working on, but I want to get this done soon, all the blocks are on the background fabric, and about 1/2 of them are blanket stitched down so I want to get that all finished, use some of the homespuns for borders around the blocks then chambray for sashing and VOILA a quilt top done SOON I HOPE. So let me know what you all think. I am thinking of using different colors homespun for a border around each block, the border being one color in that particular block all the way around the block, not sure about cornerstones yet? Anyone got any suggestions? Jeanne

As Promised A PHOTO OF DANDY

Here she is, isn't she too cute and SOOO SMART TOO and SOOOOOOO SPOILED TOO. We love her tho. She is a 2 year old Rat Terrier ( we like to call her the HOLY TERRIER) she has WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY FOR HUBBY AND I, our 20 something Daughters can keep up with her but even our Lab (pictures of him to come) can't and doesn't try to keep up with her, she tried to drag him off in the woods with her and he finally laid down and gave up running, he was too pooped to participate any longer. She came back to get him tho. :)

FINALLY FRIDAY

It is COLD here today, check out my little weather girl BRRRRRR. Last night I didn't get anything accomplished that I wanted to, I planned on coming home from work and working on my SuzGuz BOM, I would like to get that done soon, but you know how things go, never got to work on it at all. Got all settled in and couldn't find the pearle cotton, didn't feel like looking too hard for it, so Dandy (Our Puppy) and I just snuggled under one of the many lap quilts we have and watched tv. Bonding Time you know. Dandy is lonesome since Her "MOMMA KENDRA" moved to Naperville for her new job. So now the Mothering duties have fallen upon me, most of the time I don't mind, but 1:30 in the morning when we have to go out in the freezing cold and look around is a little more than I bargained for when I told the GIRLS NO MORE PUPPIES but gave in when I saw her. I will post a photo of her later today when I get home from work. :) Everyone have a good day. TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Would also like to add a link (Don't know how except to copy and paste) to buy hand made. Here ya go. http://www.buyhandmade.org/

WOW, last time I was here I was talking about spring around the corner and it is WINTER HERE AGAIN, guess I should be more consistent. YEA RIGHT. Well I have spent the bigger share of yesterday and today looking at sew mama sew's blog, she was having a big giveaway. WHO KNEW there WERE SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE OUT THERE. So I decided to get back to my blog and next time she has a giveaway, I want to be part of it too. Since I last chatted, I have sewn my entire b/w crazy quilt together, now just need to find a back for it. Have enough house blocks from swaps to make a quilt top, have been working on BOM from SUZGUZ Designs and they are turning out really nice, went to a sale of a quilter who died after a 4 year battle with breast cancer, her friends got together and sold some of her HUGE STASH, I bought enough shirtings to make myself a beautiful quilt top so I have been working on that too. LOTS OF UFO'S that need to get done, so I am on a NO BUY deal, no buying unless I need something to finish a project I have already started. Also on a NO MORE SWAP deal, did way too many swaps this year and didn't get near as much accomplished as I wanted to. I am also on a pay it forward, buy home made and buy local binge for the Holiday Season. Makes perfect sense to me, the economy is going down the tubes so instead of supporting WHO KNOWS WHO OR WHERE, why not buy from the person that made it????? and why not buy locally if it is at all possible, that way the money stays local too. NO CHINA BUYING FOR ME THIS SEASON!!!!!!!! Well enough babbling. I will try to get some pics of some of my projects on here soon. Everyone have a nice night. :) Jeanne

LONG TIME NO CHAT

Well I think Spring might actually be around the corner, altho we had frost this morning. I have been busy (Seems like it anyway) but haven't gotten much accomplished. I did learn to hand applique which I am really having fun with. Appliqueing the Dresden Plates I got for Christmas, now that I know how I have BIG PLANS. So many blocks and so little time. With spring on the way that will mean less time in the house and less time to sew unless I take my hand stitching and sit on the porch in the sunshine and hide from everyone inside (THINK THAT WOULD WORK????) I might have to try it as soon as it warms up enough to sit out there for any length of time. :) No pictures today but I will post some of my finished Dresden Plate blocks soon.
