Work Christmas Quilt

I have finished my quilt for the Christmas giveaway at work. Each year I try to make a quilt and then we draw a name from the regular clients at work and someone gets to take it home. The drawing is held during the Christmas party, and it is so fun to see the response of the winner. Last year's winner wore the quilt around his shoulders all day with a big grin on his face. You just can't beat that!




Yesterday I delivered a finished spring fling round robin quilt to Julia. She lives only about 20 miles from me. Unfortunately she wasn't home and I didn't get to meet her, but I have heard from her and she really liked the quilt! Here is is the back and the front.

Blogger Fun

Sophie shared this fun quiz on the quilting forum. I like to do these for fun sometimes. This one I would like to think is right on the money. LOL

You Are Olive Green

You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself. For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself. You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you. People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.

What Color Green Are You?

Fitness Quilt

I haven't been doing much quilting lately. I've been working on getting healthier and have had less time for quilting. I am making a fitness quilt. Each week I stick to my diet for a specified amount of days I get to make a block in the quilt, and each week I work out a specified amount I get to make another block. It is going well! So far I've lost way more than my goal for that month, and am starting my second month. Also I got my c-pap machine today, and am looking forward to some good sleep tonight.

Fall Canning Time

No quilty content or pics as my batteries are dead AGAIN! I really need new rechargable batteries for my camera, but keep forgetting to buy them. Anyhoo! Today I canned batch #3 of Salsa for the season. It is also the last Yay! I think Tony and his work buddies eat it as fast as I can it. Also everyday when I take Murphy for a walk in the local park I pass two apple trees in a yard bordering the park. Many many apples fall onto the ground on the park side of the fence. Being my father's daughter I kept thinking, "You know a guy (or gal in my case) could pick up those apples and make something out of them." So, one day I picked one up and took it home. Yummo! Sweet as can be. No wormies. A couple days later I saw a lady drag a ladder down the street to the apple trees on the park side and picked a bunch. Again I thought a guy/gal could do something with those. Next day I brought a cloth grocery bag and filled it up with apples. I have been thinking about what to do with them for about a week. Today, 6 quarts of apple pie filling! Yay!
