Star Crazy

Here it is at the beginning of another month and that means it is time to work on the Star Crazy BOM once again.  I do not want to get behind and we are nearing the finish point on this quilt.

I have my instructions printed out and placed in the ring binder to keep organized.

Fabric is cut and ready to go for the first three of 9 blocks:

More is picked out and waiting to be cut and made ready.  I like to get all of the stars organized and cut the fabric and have it stacked up ready for the machine sewing.  It keeps me better organized:

This month we have 9 stars and 3 different styles of stars.  They will be easy once I get into the mood to sew them.

I have gotten a little more quilting done on the Christmas quilt and have given it another crank down of the roller – you can plainly see the end in sight now

All the comments on EQ7 – wow – let me warn y’all now I am not a fast learner when it comes to computers so do not expect any reviews anytime soon.  I am in no rush and I am not always interested in sitting in front of my computer when the weather is nice so I will work at it gradually.  I will tell you a quick little story though of my adventure of getting started and then you will see why a review won’t be coming anytime soon !  LOL

I got the program out of the box the other day and looked the book over before setting down at the computer.  Then I shut down all of the running programs as it said to do.  I inserted the cd and got the program loaded on my computer and all went well!! accomplished one thing.  I went to the videos so I could start to learn this program and that is where I started to have problems – I looked through one and then another – then I looked at Mike and said “how I’m I supposed to learn this when they aren’t telling me anything” he of course said “what are you talking about”  I told him I was watching the instruction videos but they weren’t telling me anything – he just looked puzzled at me for a minute and then asked “do you have your volume turned on?”

DUH! – ok now see why this might take awhile

(I do normally have my volume turned on – but I had been looking at blogs shortly before that – I don’t know about most of you but I hate it when a blog has music playing – most of the time it is music I do not like or I already have music playing in the house because I want to listen to my music – so quite often I shut the volume on the computer off so I am not startled when music comes blasting out of someone’s blog – I just forgot to turn my volume back on LOL  )

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend – I have spent most of my time outside so far and not in the house at my computer or sewing – well get back to it soon I’m sure.
