ROAK'ed :)

I recived the prettiest packages of beads in the mail today , I don't know who they are from as there was no sender info on the envlope . Whoever you are thank you so much , I've been having a really crummy week and this really lifted my spirits :)

A blog I love

Well ya'll I have found a totaly awesome blog , it's called Pairie Quilts . She does some of the most amazing sane quilts . Ater I get some more work done on my crazy quilts I have a few sane quilts that I need to pull out & finish . I wish that they would just magically finish themselves while they are sitting in my craft closet LOL :) Well that will never happen so I really do need to get off my bum and get them done . Please go check her blog out , the link is in my sidebar
Hugs All !

Fall Block 2 - another update

This is the little leaves that I stitched the other day on my 2nd fall block . The yellow is not quite so bright in person . I drew this design myself - not to shabby I think.

This is a seam that I stitched today . I'm not totaly happy with it , it seams to need a little something more , but I'm not sure what that more is ? ! The sead beads at the end of the spikes are really sparkly in person , they're colour is called Red Gold Luster.

Here is some of the lace that I hand dyed a few weeks ago . Looks right smashing on this block , kinda ties in the teal peice of fabric at the top.

This is some fabric that I found today at WalMart . It was only 1$ a yard I got the whole 5 yards . I am going to use it as shashing on this C.Q. and I hope that I will have enough to use it as the backing too.

You ever have one of those day's ??

Today has just been one of those day's for me today . Nothing has gone right for me today . As some of you may know I am trying to go to College on-line fron Northwestern here in Louisiana for a Bacholor of Pscy , well it's not going so well.From the start it has not gone well , it took almost a month to get Maine to fax the college my GED scores .Then after all that it's taken almost 3 weeks to get ahold of finacal aid just to find out that I need a whole bunch more forms filled out ! I have been trying to get my books all week long but still can't get aproval from finacial aid . Finacial aid is doing one of those random verifcations on me & it will be 4 to 6 weeks before that is done , I will have to drop out of the 3 classes that I am registered for :( I guess I'm going to have to hope that it all goes alright and I don't get charged for the classes because I just don't have the cash to pay them right now . I knew when the lady at the Registration office wanted to sign me up for the classes before I got ahold of Finacial Aide was a really bad idea. At this point I'm just a hair away from saying to hell with it all !! I'm going to have to call them Monday & tell them to drop me from those classes for this semester . I'm just so upset , maybe it's not ment for me to go back to school :(

Fall Block 2 - Some Cattails

I have gotten this much done on my fall block this week . I have 1 more mofit to put on this block then I will start doing the seams . I am wanting to finish this block this weekend and get # 3 ready to go .

Fan Colours

Yup I think I really do like them better on black , now I just cross my finger's that I have enough black for all the blocks . I think I will use this Rose fabric ( it's a litter darker in person ) for the sashing and I may even have enough for the backing too. I found another 4 1/2 yard of the rose fabric in my closet tonight so I thin in all I have 2 yards of the black & like 8 yards of the rose. Thank you to everyone who left me a comment on the other post ya'll are just wonderful !!!

A couple of Fans

Well this is as far as I have gotten with my new Fan quilt . It's going kinda slow as I also have the Fall C.Q. to work on & the Redwork RR. Also I had ro revise my pattern as the one that I had started out with was not working . These will be 9 inch blocks instead of 12 inch blocks but that's alright . Cheyenne has picked out the fabrics for these two fans and I think she has done a wonderful job for being 11 years old . I have a couple of questions for those of you who read my blog -

1. Should I make all the fan base's the same colour ( I have a medium grey ) or should the base's match the fan ?

2. Should I put the fans on some black satin or some light rose satin ?

3. Should I give ya'll pic's to see what they look like on each fabric ?

4. Should I do sashing or a straight set ?

Redwork RR - Shay's Blocks

These are Shay's blocks. The background fabric isn't really blue it's a bright white . These are from some vintage iron on patterns that Shay had - they are very pretty.
