Horton Hears a Who

We went to the movies this afternoon. It was a fun family day...my favorite. All 3 of us really enjoyed the movie. It is amazing what they can do with animation now.

Guess what was in my mailbox???

New Fabric....feel the rush as you run inside to rip it open to see your presents...I mean purchases! Ahhh, it is so fun, so fresh, so fabulous, and it is going to be a TOOOO CUTE apron. Almost makes you feel like logging back on and buying some more. It is almost a disease.

Seriously though, Kimberly at The Fat Quarter Shop runs a fabulous business. Great fabrics, great selection, fair prices, good correspondence, and terrific packaging. Also, the blog there is having a word scramble right now with some free goodies. You should check it out...although #1 is really stumping me.

Progress

You can tell I have a 3 year old, when I have that Nemo song in my head....only changed....

Just keep sewing, just keep sewing....

I keep plugging away at my New York Beauty arcs. Don't forget about me. I am sure I will have something to show sometime.

A quilt giveaway that you should check out!

Sorry to say that I am not the person with this fabulous giveaway, however, she asked all her blogger friends to post a link celebrating her 200th blog-aversary. So, if you would like to be entered for a free quilt or other goodies then you need to head on over to http://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com/. If you mention my Dandelion Quilts blog, then I am entitled to some extra entries. So, please do! :) And congratulations to the Old Red Barn Company for her nearly 200th blog!

Tea anyone?

So, I needed some tea this morning, which got me thinking on an article from the recent ALL YOU magazine. It said that drinking black tea or green tea is proven to clear your mind for thinking. Look at the teas in my cupboard.

I like Irish Breakfast Tea with a bit of milk and splenda. Sometimes I go without the milk, it just depends on my mood. I originally tried this tea, oddly enough, because a fictional character in a book I was reading liked this tea served this way. I use the Decaf English Breakfast Tea when I need a decaf fix.

The Blueberry Mankind Green Tea is deliciously blueberry and doesn't taste so green. It also has awesome antioxidents. Try some today! Gee whiz, I sound like an ad.

Binding Away

So, I guess this has been a week of binding. You already saw the finished baby quilt; this is my nephew's quilt for his fifth birthday. You cannot really see it, but the brown diamond is actually football material. The long arm quilter quilted footballs on it. I am pleased with it. (Let's hope the 5 year old is!) Although I didn't notice the annoying blue combination in the center block until it came back from the quilter...of course. I was trying not to get stuck in red, blue, red pattern...ended up with a clump of blue. Oh well. I cannot undo it now.

I have been catching up on Friends episodes while stiching away! Oh, I just laugh and laugh! I am in midst of Season 9. It took me up to Season 8 to finally figure out that is one of the seasons I missed. What do I like about Friends? Is it the friends themselves? Yes, each one reminds me of someone I know. Is it the humor? Yes, it is some good writing. Is it the setting? I'll admit that I do love that coffee house atmosphere. I certainly enjoy laughing. I need to finish up another project so I have more binding to do, while binding.

Finished Baby Quilt

Well, right after taking this picture, I packed this quilt up along with a bunch of other goodies and shipped it off to our friends in PA. I had such a fun time making it and I just loved how the colors played together. Has anyone else made a cute baby quilt lately? I'd love to see them.
