Hi everyone,  Well. I haven't been blogging much.  

This is our guild challenge, that is to be done by our June meeting.

This has been at this point for a couple of months.  I'm trying to decide on what to do next.  I have 2 more pieces of fabric that I can add to it but can't decide on what to do next.   I used  all 4 pieces given to us for the bargello centre.  The extra 2 pieces are a beige and a different blue.   Anyone have any great ideas???  I may just have to take it to the meeting this way if I don't get inspired soon

Our house is full of colds at the moment.  Chris had a cold first.  Then me. Chris is better, I'm getting there. Dave and Jenn are bad with it now.  Hopefully it will leave soon.

Below is my last fab 4 for Friday:

So now what will I do for May fab 4 for Friday MAY 16

Basically I'm just going to try again.
1. On Summer swirls decided on next border and get it done. There is a border suggested with the pattern, I have to decide if I will use that or something different.  Also have to unsew 2 areas to fix before moving on with borders.
2. Decide on final borders and get them done on guild challenge piece.
3. Finish 2nd round on virual round robin

4. Make ties longer on charity wheelchair quilt.So now what will I do for May fab 4 for Friday.

I haven't managed to get anything done so now I will try once again to get the above done as my

fab 4 for Friday May 22.

I am ever hopeful.  Maybe this time.  The list thing can work, if I find the time to get to my sewing room.

My mother in law is now home from the hospital and on the mend.  She had more problem with her gout then with incision pain.  My sister in law is with her for awhile.  We'll likely go down when I'm off and everyone is over the colds

Well, guess maybe I should get something done here today.  I was home sick from work.  Hope it helps with the recovery time.

Bye for now

Happy quilting to all,

:)Carol

This is strange.  I just tried to upload a picture and the box with the ? is all I got.  Looks like I have to find another way to upload pictures.  I'm really behind in my fab 4 for friday

Here is the last on I put online.

Fab 4 for May 1:
1. On Summer swirls decided on next border and get it done. There is a border suggested with the pattern, I have to decide if I will use that or something different.DID NOT REALLY GET THIS DONE. STILL THINKING.

3. Finish 2nd round on virual round robin DIDN'T GET ANY FURTHER ON THIS ONE.

The biggest part of not getting anything done on my list is that I've been tied up with in laws.  Lyle was here for a bit as Lillian had surgery May 7.  So I haven't had much time , if any in my sewing room.

Today we head for Ontario to a 50th wedding anniversary.    My son is staying home but Jenn is coming with us.

This is a very short trip.

Better go for now.  Happy quilting,

:)Carol

I just found out that the pictures will not transfer when copied from blogger to myblogspot so I'll have to try uploading them there again.I guess imac works differently. Oh well, Guess I'll have to try that tomorrow, maybe as I have to jump in the shower now and I'll be leaving the house soon. Going to visit mom in law in hospital and drop my dad in law off at brother in laws. That's alot of inlaws. Then I have to work evenings today. So talk later. Happy quilting :)Carol

Hi everyone,

  I've not had alot of time to write. My Mom in law. had surgery last Wed. My Dad in law is staying with us.  Been busy going back and forth to hospital and working.  I'm off today.

Dave's sister is flying in today. Should be here soon.  Lillian is doing ok.  A little better each day. They took more than expected though  and we are waiting on biopsy results, hopefully today.

So I'll post more later, just wanted to put a quick update in today.

Happy quilting,

:)Carol

virtual round robin-3

This is the virtual round robin that I am working on.  The is round 3. I only that 2 sides done.  I'm kind of behind. The applique is also only pinned on at present.  I wanted to make sure that it looked okay too.  I'm thinking that I'll do butterflies on the other 2 sides. It's seating out on our pingpong table for me to see and make decisions.

  My mom in law has surgery tomorrow so it may be a few days before I write again.  I'm also on my stretch of 5 evenings.

I think I've decided to take the 2 squares out of my swirl top and fix them.  So it hasn't gotten any further.

Better go.  Happy quilting.  :)Carol

Fab 4 for May 1

I'm way behind and it's not just the new computer.  Of the last 9 days I only had one off and one of the days was 11 1/2 hours.  I'm tired.  I'll be glad to go back to my evenings next Wed. I'm now on 5 days off.  Got a message on the phone machine asking if I'd do some night shifts at PLC, the other hospital that I am still casual at.  I haven't worked there in 4 months now.  Not sure I want to go back.  I like it where I am and I get too much extra work as it is.

Below is the last fab. 4 for friday that I did.

Fab 4 for April 11:
1. On Summer swirls decided on next border and get it done. There is a border suggested with the pattern, I have to decide if I will use that or something different.

I'M HOLDING OFF ON THE NEXT ROUND AS I FOUND 2 SQUARES THE WRONG WAY IN THE DESIGN AND I'M BEEN TRYING TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT IT OK TO LEAVE THEM BUT I REALLY THINK THAT I SHOULD RIP AND RESEW.  THAT'S WHY THIS ONE HASN'T GOTTON ANY FURTHER.

2. Decide on final borders and get them done on guild challenge piece.
I KEEP LOOKING AT THIS ONE BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY FURTHER WITH IT.  I REALLY DIDN'T SPENT 

ALOT OF TIME SEWING THIS PAST WEEK.

3. Finish 2nd round on virual round robin
WELL, I DID GET HALF OF THIS ONE DONE.  HAVE 2 MORE SIDES TO DO ON THIS ONE.

4. Make ties longer on charity wheelchair quilt.

DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THIS ONE.  THOUGHT ABOUT IT A FEW TIMES.  HAVEN'T DECIDED ON WHAT MATERIAL TO USE FOR IT.

Now I have to decide for May 1 fab 4 for friday.
