Quilting

Every year a group of us go to a little town about an hours drive from home.  We rent a hotel room or a condo on the lake and craft all weekend long.  Some of us scrapbook and others quilt.  I decided this year that I wanted to make a quilt.  I haven't made one in years, like 5 to be exact.    I started ironing my fabric and cutting it all out Friday around 8 p.m. and quit about 11 p.m.  Saturday morning I got up at 6 a.m. to make breakfast for everyone and was back at it by 11 a.m.  I stayed up till 1:30 a.m. trying to finish it, and I did.  I was determined to finish it in one weekend.  I forgot how much fun it was to quilt.  I'm really excited to make another one and to also make an apron.

Halloween 2009

I know, I know, it's been awhile since I posted that I was attending Scrap-a-palooza.  My son started soccer and as most of you know when you have a child in sports and you work fulltime you don't have much free time left.  I loved watching him play, but I'm really happy the season is over so things can get back to normal. 

 

This is one of the layouts I created at Scrap-a-palooza and to my surprise it won 1st place.  I was in shock considering it was the first layout I had created in over 6 months. Yippee!!!!  I threw it together in less than an hour and honestly it wasn't my favorite.  There were a few things I wanted to add to it, but since it was a winner I decided to leave it alone.
