When am I ever going to learn?

When? That is my question to myself. I joined Twitter, and Facebook this last week. I haven't made time to keep my blog up to date in months. Do I really think that I will be any better at twittering or facebooking. Twitter and Facebook are a little faster to jot a note off to someone. My blog is mostly for myself. Yet I know there are people who will stumble upon it so I can't just use it like a diary. My older sister will look at my blog but I have no hopes of her joining Facebook.

I have finished the pieced part of the Orange crush borders, In my case it has to be called Strawberry lime. I would have gotten them sewn on today but I baby sat my two cute grand girls. Almost 3 and 19 months old. I love them dearly but they sure wear this 52 yo out. Maybe I can get the borders on tomorrow. I think I'll go cut the strips that make the pieced section match the center. If I have my math right I have to cut them 1.5 inches. That small of a border scares me. Some times you just have to trust and jump.

Did you notice the boo boo in the blue and yellow. It is now turned right. I should have a picture soon of the completed center. It is done I just have to get the right light to snap a pic. I have to go shopping ( Oh Darn ) for the right blue for the border. I am toying with some applique ideas. I don't think a pieced border would add to it.

Hug someone you love and goodnight.

working in yellow and blue

Here is a little something I have been working on in my so little spare time. I just got some of my photos up loaded after a really long break. I started putting the blocks together at Bonnie's July 4th weekend of 2008. I have finished my Orange Crush to the stage of needing borders. I have the Tobacco Road also to the step of needing it's Borders. The Crush has all the parts ready to sew together. I am still pulling and cutting lights for the flying geese on Tobacco Road. During the time I was catching up on Old Tobacco Road, after I had put it down for way too long,

I was recovering from hand surgery. My Local sewing buddy and wonderful friend, finished cutting all the bricks for me to put it together. I couldn't use the rotary cutter for a few weeks before surgery due to the pain it caused and I couldn't raise the presser foot with my hand for about a month before I had the surgery so I had put my knee lift on my machine. I was able to sew the day after surgery while my hand was in a half cast. I bought a Janome 6600 August 29 last summer.

Time to say Goodnight, Blogging Friends.
