FNSI

It's been a while since my last post! What can I say, but life and other obligations get in the way. I am currently listening to "Sew-Stitch-Create" and catching up on blogs. Came across I blog, "Handmade by Heidi" and found a post for a Friday Night Sew-In. I thought I would sign up for it. It's November 19th...hoping it will help me focus on at least one project for the night. If interested, go by her blog and read all about it. She is listed in the blogs I follow and her button is in the left column.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

Shenandoah Fiber Festival

Heading out to Berryville, VA for "fibery goodness" as Meghan puts it!!! I am sooo looking forward to this. I have not been in fiber overload since May!. I scoured the vendor list and discovered there is one there that also has "Quilt" in it. Can't see what they have. I hope it's a little of everything. I am quite sure I will have more to write and tweet about when I return home. I will take pics of my purchase.

Much more to come.

Not Much Going On

Didn't post on Saturday, 9/11. Just an entry to update those who follow. My work week was only three days, however, it felt longer than that I must say. I did get some of my "garage" knitting done. Garage knitting you may ask? I get about 20-30 minutes of knitting in while sitting in my car. I arrive at work, usually an hour before I need to be there. This is my early morning quiet time before my day begins. I am continuing to knit on "my secret" projects. I only have one more to go until I am finished.

Spinning: I haven't done any spinning this week. I still have to spin to complete yarn needed for my crochet border on my shawl. Maybe my spinning mojo will return soon.

Quilting: Ahh, quilting? Well, I am putting borders on a top in which I used a Moda jelly roll fabrics to piece. The border is solid and pieced. Photo of WIP to come. I am practicing my free motion quilting on small quilt sandwiches. Trying not to pull out the Handi Quilter. It takes time to set the system up. Since I don't have a dedicated room for it to remain up, it's not beneficial to me to set it up. So therefore, I am trying to become comfortable with free motion quilting. My projects are usually not bigger than lap size, especially know.

I did catch the latest episode of "The Quilted Cupcake" and hope to join her in her endeavors with her charity efforts. I have to post to her blog about my plans to participate.

Until next time.......
