wow...I think I just figured out how to add a new post to my blog. About time. Believe me, I am no tech wizard.! I have been plodding away at my ugly fabric quilt challenge. It is actually a top now and I am quilting it for the 2nd time. I tried machine quilting it and I am just not good at machine quilting. I tried a meander stitch and decided I didn't like it. I spent a whole weekend removing all those stitches. I am now hand quilting it. I am hopeful that I have it done by the 25th of June. I want to give it to my Mom for her birthday! She will appreciate all the love that went into creating it. I am still trying to figure out how to use the last few bits of ugly fabric that I have left over. I am thinking maybe I will create some yo yo flowers for the barer spaces on the quilt. Something to use the fabric and add another splash of color. I originally had applique flowers in these spaces, but decided I didn't like them either. Oh My, I am so picky at times! I've never tried anything like this and I am not sure I ever will again. I feel so much pressure to get it right. I am not a get it right gal. I usually think out of the box and create my own path.
So in between pulling weeds and planting and work, I have been sewing away. I am currently hand quilting three quilts and I am assembling blocks for another. If I get tired of one project I can move on to another.
I am taking this weekend off and running away from home. I'm going to Vincennes, Indianna for the Red Skelton Festival. On Saturday, they have the largest clown parade in the USA. Its a blast to see the huge crowds and visit with all of my old clown friends. We all stay at the University and its a great time. I am dressing as a ballarina clown and carrying giant car keys and a sign that says "Ballet Parking".
Well, now that I finally figured out how to post, and not simply by accident, You'll be hearing more from me. Actually I don't think anyone reads this or follows this, but it gives me a chance to say all the things no one here wants to hear me talk about! Its my online sanity checker!
