Mini Swap finished

My friend Bea organized a mini quilt swap on HGTV. I had never done one before, but thought this would be fun. I joined up and finished my mini today. I am going to post the picture now, and get it in the mail tomorrow. I am pleased with the result. Hope my partner is too.

Turtles!!!

As a lot of you know, I collect turtles. My favorite are sea turtles. SO while at bike week in Florida, I decided I needed a sea turtle tattooed on my foot. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I DID IT!! When you are 50, you should be able to do what ever you want, right?? :)

a picture for you all

Since I can`t post any pictures of the things I am working on. I decided to post one sneak peek of the RR I just finished doing. This is Lori`s block and is jungle themed!
The buttons are zebra striped. Her block is so cute.

It`s Thursday!

Well I promised myself more then anything to get some work in my sewing area down on my two days off. And I gave all of you my list to egg me on. So here is what I got accomplished. I finished piecing my mini for the swap, but can`t show it till MyJack, my swap partner gets it. It will still need to be quilted and bound, but the piecing is done. And I am very happy with how it turned out. I got my part of the RR done for that swap and it is ready to be handed on to the next person. I did get all my squares cut and mailed for the Scraps to Treasures challenge. I also got my Bingo FQers ready and will drop them in the mail tomorrow. And since I was looking through all my FQs, I got my ones ready for the retreat and for the April Birthday Swap that I am involved in!!! So even though there are still some items on my list, I am happy with what I got done. OH, and I cooked Jambalaya, made a pineapple upside down cake and cleaned the downstairs!! Wow, I am tired, now I need a day off from my days off!!! lol

Off for a few days!

If all goes well, I am off the next two days! And I have lots to do. I want to finish piecing my mini for the mini swap. I have all the tiny blocks done, just need to do the sashing and border. I also need to work on my Round Robin. I want to start a wall hanging, and cut fabric for a quilt that I am doing for Learningfa. an online teaching class for lots of different quilts. Now if that works out, I also need to go to the PO and mail out some things. Take my son for his physical for his learners permit. Jeez, I can`t believe how much I plan on doing in two days!!! NOW to see how much I get done! I will post on Thursday what I do get done. OOPS, almost forgot I need to piece my crazy quilt block for another online class. Does anyone want to come to my house for two days and help me!!! :)

I`mm back!!

Did you all miss me?? lol I had a great time in Florida. The weather was awful the first of the week, we froze our @#$#@ off, riding, but had fun anyway and then the end of the week was in the high 70s and I got a great sunburn. lol
Here (I hope) is a picture of me on a bike at one of the events. I got to go to a local quilt show too. It was the best of both of my worlds. biking and quilting!!
Well I have so much to catch up on, I better get off here and get some sewing done.
