Haven't posted in awhile so here goes.

I have been in a bit of a funk so I have not felt like posting.  I have been busy.  I have been trying to finish up all of my customer work.  I still have customer quilts to complete, my bad, because I just cannot make myself get down there to work on them.  I have run out of ideas and the will to quilt other peoples work.   Enough of that.

I did quilt a pile of panels for the ABC project and make one rag quilt for them as well.  I delivered 8 quilts in total to the guild meeting.  It felt good to do it and give them away.  I also won a door prize at that meeting which consisted of two Karen Kay Buckley patterns and some civil war fabrics from Grubers in the states.  How lucky am I?   I know have quite a pile of those types of fabrics in my stash that I will have to decide on a quilt for them.  That will be after I finish the mystery quilt and catch up on my other projects.  I should make a sidebar list of my UFO's to keep a tally.  I seem to keep adding more projects instead of completing them. 

I also made a snowman rag quilt and matching pillow to be donated  to the church for their silent auction that was held yesterday.  I saw it all wrapped up with other stuff so that you could not really see it.  Oh well, I hope that whoever won the bid enjoys it.  I hope it was a good bid.  All the other stuff I donated ended up in the silent auction baskets as well.  I am glad that they all have new owners.

I am almost finished quilting Dixie's quilt and then I will have to take a day to bury threads.  Maybe if I motor I can have it to her Wednesday.  I still have a couple of customers that want stuff done so I will call at the end of the week.  I have appointments to take my mother to next week that will cut up my days.

I am finished step one of the Bonnie Hunter mystery.  I was a little worried about my gray when I was cutting the strips because it looked so blue, but once I had them sewn together my worries went away.  It looks good and it goes well with my other colours.  I still need to square them up a bit but I was sore and tired from working in the kitchen at the church yesterday so I just finished piecing and pressing and pretty much called it a night.  I will have to start taking pictures and adding them to my blog posts to illustrate my comments like other bloggers do.

Anyway, I should hop in the shower and start getting ready for church.  It looks cold and miserable out there again today.  A big gust of wind just blew by stirring up a bunch of loose snow.  BRRRRRRRR.

Happy stitching.
