Oh My Passwords- What did I do?

You know those passwords, the secret codes that rule our lives. I can never remember all of them.I have too many. So I tried to simplify mine and place them in a secret place. Well, I deleted all of them. Now I am a mess!

I need to re-establish my log on's of the trillion notes that tell me what those all so sophisticated   word-wise uppercase, lowercase letters, symbols and numbers. I will have to re-apply for some passwords and pull from notes on others. It is all about what was going on in my life to give me hints on the requests to apply for new password. I know I can do this, it just is a huge bummer in my life.

Why do I have to be so quick to push buttons, did I really just clear all my info off the screen forever. Sadly, Yes!

Off for a weekend of sewing and friendships.


I have a sew group I call my PCMO Sew and Sews, I have been so blessed to be invited to join this group. We get together in the Spring and Fall. I have shared one of my favorite patterns. I have made and shared a few projects with this group, some completed, quite a few still UFO’s. We lean towards just having a great time together.  I find it especially cool that I have seen my friend Nicole blossom into a wonderful quilter. She has enjoyed learning and building on her quilting skills.

I like the getaway this time. For our Fall 2014 date, we have been invited to Galva, KS and will enjoy the home of one of our sew and sews. A short travel but a fun weekend to come.

I am ready to get my sew on!

Quilting 2013 / 2014

In this past year I have learned to become a long arm quilter. I work a fill time job and have the privileged to work part time at MSQC ( my local quilt shop) on Saturdays. I was asked if I would like to help through the holidays. Well, I am still quilting two nights a week and assist at the shop on Saturdays. I love it!

I wish I had a cool project to make with these large prints. I think a whole cloth quilt would be so fun. The rich bright fabric is so bright and fresh. What do you see as a quilt out of this fun line?

New Fabric Lines Me and My Sister Design- Giggles

I bought a new charm pack "Giggles" by Me and My Sisters Design. Any one who knows me, know this is my very favorite fabric designers. I was able to get it for a steal, as a daily deal from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

I have a pattern all picked out to use it with.
So very exciting, now I am patiently waiting for the fabric to hit the quilt shops. Oh, Barb and Mary.... I would take one precut of every line you have. Well I already do have several. I am so excited about the new book coming out in September.

Oh, It's 2013!

End the 2012 out by making the NYE Mystery quilt with my friends at MSQC. Well I have finally finished it and love the pattern so much...I am making 2 more. So In January I started making a baby quilt. I have created a new pattern, I just need to write it out. I have been sewing and quilting in every spare moment, I even took on binding a friends quilt. I would say productive quilting on quilt tops, not so productive quilting.

I met a new quilting friend, Lisa. She is a fun gal. I shared some fun patterns and we had a good meet and greet night with our mutual friend Ericka. I love quilt gals pals. They are fun!!

My best pals Kathy and Lee had a sew day together. We have the best time ever and inspire quilting ideas are always abundant. Lee is such an accomplished artistic quilter. I am looking forward to our next sew day.

Keep on quilting! It is one of my favorite things to do....hope it is yours too!
