What a beautiful day today was, as I cleaned house!!!!UGH!! I really don't like housework, but it certainly has to be done. Hubby usually vacuums for me, but he had to work today. It hurts me so badly to vacuum, even with hardwood floors over the entire house. But it is done for a few days, just doesn't last long enough. I plan to do laundry and quilt tomorrow. I am going to work at the LQS on Wednesday, so will be gone all day. I do so enjoy being there, the people who come in there are so nice, I truly haven't met anyone I don't like, they are all so friendly. Hope all of you have a place to go that you enjoy as much as I enjoy going there. The ladies that work there are really great too, all of them are very knowledgeable.
I finished quilting the baby quilt I was working on, now have to bind it, but am quilting the lap quilt I am making for a friend. She had surgery and I wanted to get this to her about 2 weeks ago, I don't know where my time goes. I sometime wonder how I raised 2 children, worked and sewed for people. I guess I was just faster then!!!!
Well, its 11pm, time to watch the news then go to bed, and I am READY to lie down, very tired.
Lets all make some quilting memories tomorrow.
Goodnight.

Cold, Rainy, perfect day for quilting
Good evening, It is cold and raining here, I miss spring already. But it will return, soon I hope. I went to my charm block swap yesterday, the color was green, I have no idea what I will do with all these 6" blocks, but I am sure I can come up with something. I do enjoy going to the different classes and clubs at our LQS. I love everyone's quilts they bring for show and tell. There are some really talented ladies that attend these "meetings". Ihave met some great people there too. FUN, FUN, FUN.
I have been quilting on my baby quilt today, I hope to finish it tomorrow, then start on the other quilt I have pin basted and ready to quilt. I was planning to work on them last Saturday but had company, unexpected, but very much loved. Hadn't seen the young lady in almost 30 years. She and our son dated for about 5 years, from their early dating years until after high school graduation. She doeesn't seem to have changed very much, seems as sweet as ever and definitely as pretty.She has 2 daughters now, so was fun to catch up on her life. Found out her Mother lives pretty close to me and is a quilter. Am going to call her and see if she would be interested in going to our guild meeting. She doesn't drive at night, so would be a way for her to get there and I wouldn't have to go by myself. Looking forward to seeing her also.
Renewing old friendships is such fun!!!!!!!!!!!
Went to LQS today also, had to get some thread and had ordered a template, so picked them up. They were not very busy so sat and talked for a while, I love to do that, I always learn so much just from talking to people who quilt, and she (the owner) is one of the smartest people I know.
She is going to start having a "class" on one Thursday a month to share some of her terrific Tips and Tricks. Should be fun and educational. Can't wait. The first one is the 12th. of April. Hope she has enough interest so she will be able to continue having them.
Hope everyone is warm and snug tonight, as for me, think I will go watch a little TV. Don't do that much, don't particulary like tv, but laying on the couch under a quilt sounds appealing. So tomorrow will be Quilting Memories and hope you are too.

Good evening everyone, hope your weather was as nice where you live as ours was today, the weather lady said it was 83 degrees today, we set a record.It was plenty warm when we went for our walk.We walked almost 2 miles, and I was whipped when we got through. But I do like hot weather,and I will get used to walking when its hot soon, I'm sure.
Yesterday hubby tried (once again) to post some pictures for me, we thought he had , and I wrote about them and clicked publish and they left, have NO idea where they are. That is so frusterating.(sp:::) He said he would try again soon, one day I will have some of my sewing to show. We are determined!!!!
I picked up my BOM "s Tuesday and finished them yesterday, I am getting a little better, My Instructor keeps encouraging me, and I do appreciate her for that. Ms. G, are you reading this??? Yes, I am done until we get some more. I wanted so badly to post them, but maybe next time, I do think they are pretty.
I cut out another quilt yesterday and today, only to discover I needed 7 more inches of the border fabric, so went to LQS, and was lucky, they did have it, so tomorrow will finish cutting that out and hopefully get some sewing done on that. I also found a top for a baby quilt that I have embroidered,(the first one I embroidered when I got my machine 4 years ago,) I had forgotten it, I guess it does pay to straighten up occasionaly!!!!! I want to cut out the backing for that, I have some fabric I can use, and keep extra batting here, so will try to work on that as well.
What I REALLY need to do is some housework, so will start that as well. I don't have a very large house, but I can't dust and vacuum it all in one day.Hubby will vacuum for me most of the time. Will decide what I am going to do when I get up, according to how I feel. Not as young as I used to be. Gets harder and harder to get everything done!!!!
Wishing everyone a great weekend and wonderful quilting Memories. Later Everyone

Still Straightening Sewing Room
If any one finds a blog from me floating around in blogland, just know my DH and I was trying to post some pics, and were not successful and also lost everything I had just posted. OH WELL,I have been back in my sewing room, I decided to go ahead and finish cleaning the rest of the cabinets, I still have the one to straighten that has all my hoilday fabrics in it, I don't know how it gets so messy, I have never made a holiday quilt, so all that fabric should be nice and straight, I think there must be Gremlins in my house, they also come in and make a mess of the rest of the house too.Maybe it's the dust bunnies getting revenge!!!!!!!!!
I will be by myself most of the day tomorrow, maybe I can get finished, although I must do some work on this house, or the dust bunnies ARE going to carry me away.
I do hope every one has had a very nice weekend, we have, it's been quiet around here, it was too cold for us to even get out and walk. I will be glad when Spring is here, I am not fond of cold weather.
Ms. GN, I hope your pig picking went well, I did my sun dance but apparently forgot to do my dance for warm weather, will try to do better next time!!!!!!!!!!
As for me, this week I PLAN to make some Quilting Memories, hope you do too. Stay warm everyone.

Sewing Room Calling Me
Sometimes I think I am the only one who lets her sewing room get in such a mess,But no matter what I think it is a MESS. Well it was, that is what I have been doing for a couple days now, hope to finish it tomorrow. You really couldn't SEE the mess, I had it all nicely hid away, but I couldn't find anything!!!!!!!!!I have been trying to decide what quilt I wanted to do next,soooo, today I went through all my baby fabrics and put them all out where I can see them, will be easier for me to decide. I have several panels I have bought over the years, so think I may start on them and get them out of the way. Someone could use them I am sure. I am not looking forward to making them but do need to finish them.
The weather has been lovely here again today, walked another 1 1/2 mile. I have lost 4 1/2 pounds, so that makes it all worthwhile.I am hoping to loose 20+ by July 4th. Wish me luck. I have been battleing a weight problem for many years,maybe this will be the time I can keep it off!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I washed 5 loads of laundry, and washed the fabrics for my next charming cotton club. I am trying to stay ahead by at least a month. I won't be here for the July exchange, so am going to have to get someone to take mine and get the ones I am supposed to get in return. Will talk to the lady in charge. I am also going to have a problem with the BOM, I will not be here for 3 of them, maybe the "nice" lady that does that will put mine back for me.!!!
Hubby has been using my sewing machine for the last 3 days , so told him today he could only have it one more day then I will be ready to sew again.I have to cut off and hem 2 pair of jeans for him before I can do any thing else. I don't like cutting off jeans, but I have to cut off all he buys, he has very short legs.
The washer is calling my name, last load needs to be put in dryer, so make lots of quilting memories.
