Economy Quilting

I was running out of space so I will do a second entry today - I have some much to say! Next Wed. August 26th, is out first Economy Quilting night. I hope you have started your ACCURATE cutting of 6'' squares from your scraps. This is the first time we have tried to organize a fabric swap - it should be fun ( I hope ) . We will start at 5 p.m.. Remember there is no charge for the class so come and learn a new method of making 9 patchs. If I can get my act together I will even make a treat. If you need more details about the Economy Quilt, please call the shop or email me and I will send you the details - redroosterquilt@gmail.com . Maybe Winter will let me -Nanny- do a little cutting tonight while we watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" - I wouldn't let her start it last night so I promised we would watch it tonight. Last night - she wanted to make cupcakes - so of course I helped her do that. Today is her last day at her daycare so she took a treat - she even frosted them quite well but wasn't happy with me for running out of sprinkles! How I love that child! She is going to start at the USU daycare next week - Gird your Loins - Winter is on her way! ttfn - Kaye

the Stolen Nectarines

HI - it is a very sad week for my sweet little 92 year old Aunt Marj - someone stole all 22 nectarines off of her tree. How can this be in this safe little hometown. Aunt Marj and her son John planted the tree last year - being told it was an apricot tree. The blooms this spring were beautiful and the fruit really grew. It was going to be picked the very next day - and when she went out to pick them they were gone. She keeps telling the story over and over again - unable to believe that the thief wouldn't even leave one for them to taste. It just goes to show you - nothing is sacred in this town - not even your fruit! I told them to write a letter to the Herald Journal - I may have to do it for them. This is almost as bad as stealing flowers off of the graves. Some people just need a swift kick in the butt! Enough of that- lets talk about me! I have nothing to whine about today - unless you want to hear about my pet peeves - I won't start.
Have a great weekend. Kaye

Valentines Fabric

I guess I am in a real hopeful mood today when I order fabric for 2010 Valentines Day! Please please please let me survive these trying times! Some days I tend to worry alot, of course there is always a lot to worry about - work, work, kids, work, money - & I worry about wasting my time as well. I just can't win! Some days I am ready to give it all up, but then what would I do.
I guess I will just keep plugging along at a snails pace and keep praying for a small miracle. That chip on my shoulder is showing. I will change subjects - new homespuns came in yesterday - 13 bolts of wonderful. I like it dark and dirty - such a good phrase. I also got in Gobble Gobble fabrics form Moda with some charm packs and turnovers. I haven't made anything out of the turnovers yet (they are the pieces cut into triangles) but I will get right on it! I also had a young lady from here in Logan come in today and she has designed some bags - pretty darn cute so I bought a few of her patterns - I think she is on the right track! I am heading to my daughters house to have supper with her and Winter - we have got to teach that child how to sit up to the table and eat a meal with her family - she is just too busy. I just can't tell you how much I adore her! Stacy and I went to see Julie & Julia last Saturday - what a fun movie - Meryl streep is amazing. Now I want to cook through the book too - but I know I never will - go see it. I am out of here - Kaye
