Have you given up on me yet?

It’s been almost a month since my last post. SHAME ON ME! Life just gets so darn busy. I worked on my taxes all weekend. Every year I think I’m going to “keep up” rather than “catch up”. Silly me.

I have gotten three of my own quilts quilted! Remember, way back when, I said I was going to finish up my UFO’s? I found a Yellow Brick Road top just waiting to be quilted. ALL flannel! Plus, I had the back and binding ready to go. So when I was plowing thru paperwork in  my little office Mike quilted for me. He was bored. The weather has been terrible here. So he turned on the basketball game and off he went. Thank goodness for March Madness. The Baptist fan is a pattern board. Just drop the stylist in the groove and let it rip. I helped him adjust the rows and a few “ify” spots. All in all he did a wonderful job! I will post the other 2 when I finish the binding. My favorite part. Hand stitching while watching TV.

This “manly” print is the border and backing fabric.

Have you seen the newest place on line to buy & sell? A lot of “EBay jumpers” have moved to http://www.finishingthreads.ecrater.com/. As of this moment there are no commisions or listing fees. The store layout feels more like Etsy than Ebay. And it’s not an auction. You set prices. I put a few quilts on there. Just to see. I did sell 2 quilts on Ebay last month but boy did their fees jump. Between listing fees, selling fees and Paypal fees, my slice of the pie was pretty slim. Well, I’ll have to just wait and see.  

Aren’t you happy day light savings time kicked in early? I love when it stays light out longer. Oh, I can’t wait to get my rockers out of the basement and  onto the porch! Wish you could rock a spill with me. I bet we could solve the world’s problems with just one glass of sweet iced tea.

I will leave you with the promise of Spring. Can you smell the flowers?
