I had so many visitors to my blog Sunday night to Monday night from Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia that I must ask why? I have feedjit on the sidebar which shows the world map and where you all come from to visit. I tracked it back to a Scandinavian Yahoo group but I wondered what was on there that made you all come visit! Please tell me I am curious
I love having visitors from all over the world and that is one thing that I love about blogging is making “friends” with all of you from around the world. It is fun getting e mails from so many people and comments about quilting. I like to go see your blog sites and see what you are working on. If you come visit please leave a comment and if you have a blog leave me a link so I can see what you do too. When I first starting blogging about 2 1/2 years ago I had no idea I would become so addicted to it.
I have made progress on the Christmas Baltimore Album and while I should be sewing right now to finish putting the blocks together I am blogging instead. It is coming along really well and I should finish putting this part together tomorrow – now the question is “will I?”
Don’t you just hate it when you get a pattern and the directions aren’t clear? It did not give the measurements for the triangles. Math is not my strong suit – when it says long side of triangle is — I’m thinking – what about the other sides – you mean I have to figure this out myself!! As you can see I did figure it out and I’m really shocked that it didn’t take me all night to
do it and that I didn’t ruin any fabric due to not cutting it the right size!
I also made a little progress on “Insanity Revisited” yippee! I have not worked much on it lately. I did a block on Sunday and
another almost finished today – maybe I will quickly finish that one tonight and get done with it. I am working on Row G – the 7th row out of the 13 needed – so I am about half way done with the blocks!! This photo on the right is G8 and the one on the left in progress is G9
I had a good visit with my mom yesterday. It was a tiring day partly because it was so hot and also because my mom is 84 years old and physically frail (her mind is great). She is in a wheelchair due to Rheumatoid Arthritis which has pretty much made it so that she can no longer walk – she can stand briefly but not walk. To take her to lunch and shopping I have to constantly assist her into the car, then fold the chair and lift it into the back of the car – and then get out all over again, and again and again! It is a workout! We met my little sister and her little girl for lunch and shopping. Coming from a large family we have a bit of overlap in generations. My sister’s little girl is 2 weeks older than my granddaughter (they will both be 7 at the beginning of fall) (my little sis is 13 years younger than I). We enjoyed ourselves and mom enjoyed getting out even though it was hot.
Look forward to a giveaway from me soon — so many people have give aways and I never have had one and it is about time I think. I have so many regular readers that I need to do a thank-you. I will look things over and decide what to give away – I think there will be at least 2 winners and I hope to have it planned by the end of the week. I have recently won a give away myself from Deb – Quilt Gal – in Canada, I will put a photo on here of my gift when I get it.
