# 1 on the Blackberry Creek quilt camp list!

Well, I just straight lined the quilting, fast! Love my Janome 6600 Accufeed foot!

This was an experimental quilt, as I was testing out a ruler for cutting the "Tumbler" one patches.  Ruler approved! lol...I had enough of the backing to fold it over to the front for the binding, a 1st for me, as I usually "apply" binding...

Lets see if I can post a close up...
This will be winging its way to Canada to a friend whos grandaughter calls herself "Ladybug",,,
Onto the next project....

I'm "under the weather", and really OVER it!

Hi ya peeps,
Well, went to the store, bought Zicam allergy, and zinc get over a cold fast stuff...Not sure with everything BLOOMIN, if its a cold or the air...
Started "Estroven" from Trader Joes....will see if I can go the herbal way 1st before looking at the good ol chemicals...Mainly cause all the extra herbs are a bonus....

Got a new Shabby cabinet last week. Pic here...

Rainy...but PINK day!

Gee I hate spending fiddy dollars on an ironing board!  We quilters DO need strudy ones tho!  Bed Bath & Beyond said I can save my reciept, bring it back when I have one of thier coupons, and get the moola back!  Cool beans eh?
I also picked up a pink-a-licious new iron at Target...Yummy!

Happy Valentines Day...Thanks Hunka Hubbs!

Yep, exactly what I wanted...really, I did!

My feets are now Pink-a-fied!

This IS my so called Snowball challenge quilt cause...I'm a rebel with a clause.....

Yes folks it confession time....
Ummm, er,(looking at feet)....
I just could not bring myself to make the required 480 half square triangles for the Snowball quilt.........Whew, there, I said it!
Short explanation here...I already had the book, looked at the quilt, thought no problemo...Well, I didn't read ALL the directions until we started swappin!  When I 1st began quiltmaking 10yrs. ago, I made alot of half square triangles, loving everyone of em...
Now Iam burnt out on em...
So, I used another pattern in the same book, and here is de pic!  Thanks to ALL for your great swapped fabrics, not sure if ya can see in the pics, but thanks!  I have plenty of leftovers for another quilt!

Oh gads, I give up...
