Up a little earlier today. I love to sleep in but it seems my body won't
allow it. I go off to bed imagining sleeping thru the night and after waking
up for the 5th or 6th time I realize it isn't going to happen. I did actually
sleep all the way thru one night about a month and half ago. I was shocked when
I woke up. Anyway, I'm up and caught up on all things internet. I'm trying to
figure out how to make a pincushion shaped like a cupcake. I did make one last night by totally winging it. HA. I used the cap from a can and glued
fabric to it, not bad but everything is too straight. I did find a pattern posted
by a wonderful woman so I'm going off that. First off, I'm just going to flatten a cupcake
paper and copy that. I mean why not??
I need to do some laundry and vacuum as well but sewing comes first.

Finished the quilt top
The top is done with the exception of sashing and borders.
I don't understand why no matter how much fabric I have on hand it is
never the right fabric when I need some. Grrr.
Now the top will sit until I get some solid colors to go with it. Pink and Turquoise.
Think I'll do pink sashing, maybe 2 1/2" wide and then a border of 4".

Figuring things out
My son helped me get the Twitter link on the page. What a smart man he is.
I currently have 12 (yikes, did I say that out loud?) unquilted tops stacked on
my cutting table. I did manage to get 5 quilted but I made 6 more quilts during
that time. I am working on a new top. Nothing fancy, I needed to sew something so
I just pulled out some precut 5" squares and started putting them together. I ran out
of the fabrics I was using so now is the time to sew those rows together.
It's rather bright, pink/white and turquoise blocks. I need to be sewing and
not blogging.

1st post
This being my first post of my first blog, wow, how exciting.
My passion is my family and then QUILTING!! I love to piece and
quilt tops on my stretch frame with my Bailey Home Quilter.
I have two forums. One is just for the BHQ which
is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Baileyquiltingmachines/
The second is a quilting forum. We do get off topic from time to time but
isn't that what friends do?
Hope this comes out correctly.
