good progress on Roll roll cotton boll!

I ironed all my fabrics and started cutting them into strips for step one. I hope to start sewing this weekend. I am also getting the news print cut into 8.5 inches to do my string blocks. So I am making progress even though it is slow!

Okay you should see my choices!

I think this is going to be a very pretty quilt! I have seen some others steps 1-3 and can't wait to get started on mine. I plan on having it done before I go back to my sisters so I can tqke it and quilt it while I am there. She has a long arm now! wHOOOhOOO!

I wonder if my Accuquilt Go will be of help in cutting out some of these fabrcis? I am going to try and get all the help I can! LOL

So off to cut hubby's hair then iron my fabrics! Until next time...

(I sure hope to be able to show pictures of my steps soon!) Ellen

get inspired!!

Well today I decide that I need to get back into sewing again! I have been so bad lately and getting depressed so I need to do something about it. Sewing is a stres reliever for me and I have decided to do the Bonnie hunter mystery rollroll cotton boll. I need to go pick out fabrics now so I am off and hope to show you my choices soon.

time is passing on and on

As the time goes by I have done nothing as far as sewing anything. I plan to change that very soon. I got an old treadle sewing machine cabinet the machine was gone but I just covered the hole with plexy glass and now have a machine on top so I can sew in my spare time in my living room. I will post pictures soon!

2010

Well it is labor day weekend 2010 what has been going on lately is we got a new puppy...named her Sissy.....she is a chihuaua! I haven't done any sewing lately I am so bad, as I need to do some happy blocks for a group from July!

Sissy is sleeping on my lap as I type! She is so attached to me!

Anyway I will try and post more later.....as I have kinda gave up again for a while but hopefully I can post more often and keep you up to date.

Enjoy the pictures of Sissy oh and I have a new one of Boo laying in a funny position.

fun yesterday on my birthday

I am still at Shannon's in the deep south in the middle of now where! LOL Her husband Mark drove us to a quilt store an hour and a half a way in Moultry GA called Suzanne's they gave me 15 % discount because it was my birthday! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! extra bonus!!!

I grabbed up a batik kit in the sale items great deal was 75.00 with 35 % off! Got some Maxine fabric for my panel, blah blah, this should turn out real cute once I work on it. I will post a picture once I get it done.

We have yet to do any sewing so far, but we have her sewing room looking good! David should be coming to get me on Thursday unless the state walks in his facility. Then we plan to leave on Sunday unless something else comes up.

More later, Ellen
