Boring Blog no-more



Hey Everyone,
It's been a while for me updating my blog. I only have one reason, really, and if you aren't naturally a perfectionist, it might not make sense. I have been planning to do a quilt for my dad for his 60th birthday. No problem. But then my husband says, "While you are at it, why don't you enter it into the fair?" So, I add a New Year's Resolution in March (I think.) You can do that right? Anyway, as soon as I state this as my goal, I hit a creative wall and can't work on it again until the panic comes in May. To enter into the local fair, I needed the quilt done by July 21st. I must admit, it is also hard to quilt with the kids around. But, to make a long story short, I did get the quilt done, entered it into the fair (my first), and got a second place ribbon in my category-pieced lap quilt. I even got a whole dollar in prize money. So I am including some pictures and hope to be a more faithful blogger now that the quilt is done. EXCEPT now I need to start some new project.
