Another give away at:

Pumpkin Patch Primitives Quilt Shoppe is having a give away of quilt fabric.  I’m not sure where I heard about it but I have put that site on my google reader to see what all they have for awhile.  Go on over and see what they have to give away – you will be pleased.

I finished the Baltimore Bliss 4th block.  I need to look at the patterns and see which one I’m doing next.  I don’t actually have them in order any more from when I printed them out.  I think there are 2 or 3 more patterns to come out still.  I intend to make all 12 blocks but right now I’m not sure if they will all go in one quilt top or two.  I’m thinking of maybe using 6 and put on point with sashing between for 2 different quilts.

Baltimore Bliss block #4 out of the 12 that with the quilt pattern.  Would anyone happen to have this plaid fabric I used in it or know where I can purchase it on line.  I have a little left and wanted to use it in most of the 12 blocks but might not be able to at this rate.  I only have a little left.

Would anyone happen to have this plaid fabric I have been using in these blocks or know where I can purchase it on line? I have a little left and wanted to use it in most of the 12 blocks but might not be able to at this rate. I only have a little left.  If anyone has some they are willing to part with we can make a trade of some sort?  I believe I got it when I purchased some “Timeless Treasure” fabric by 3 Sisters several years ago, I don’t know if it was the same designer that did this one.  I looked on line and can’t find it anywhere.

I will leave the next block though for a day or two and get back to work on “Insanity” my Dear Jane quilt tonight.  Only a little more than half a row left to quilt!  I should have a photo tomorrow of the progress.

I have taken the day off from painting like I said I was going to.  I will continue that tomorrow or the next I’m taking a wait and see approach!  I was outside today off and on – it was so nice outside.  I dug up more bulbs that needed separating.  There was of course more than I thought there was and now need to figure out where to put them!  I will probably try to do that this weekend.

The knitting on the scarf is coming along nicely – I have had to unravel a couple rows now and then and then reload onto the knitting needles as I will occasionally find I have dropped a stitch.  Over all though it is is growing!!

Thanks to all about your nice comments on my health.  Overall I do great most of the time, I tend to overdo at times with physical activity and then pay for it!!  I think a lot of us with health issues (and increasing age :) ) do that – we like to think we are superwoman :) and then we get a reminder from aches and pains that we aren’t LOL

I hope you can find more of your fabric Karen. That plaid really makes these blocks shine.

How much of that plaid do you need? It looks familiar – I’ll check my stash.

Has anyone ever told you about the Life Line? When I started knitting I’d have stuck a needle in my eye to know this! When you get to a point in your knitting that is fantastic and perfect you weave a piece of yarn through the stitches on the needle. So that in the event of a dropped stitch or error you can just pull to that life line and voila, re-insert your needles and start again. This also helps if your pet gets a hold of your knitting and pulls out the needles! I know our instructors want us to learn picking up stitches but as a beginner the frustration levels are high. A life line is a great idea and has saved me from many a tantrums!
