Just stuff on a Sunday!

Well, we've BEEN going to church again, since the handicapped restrooms are up and working....and REALLY enjoying it too, I might add! Last night, though, we knew we wouldn't be going to church today. Dear Younger Daughter has a fever and some cold symptoms. I don't let my children go to church (and infect everyone there) until they have been clear of fever 24 hours.

I had two family members volunteer to stay home with her, but a sick child NEEDS her mother!!! When I asked Dear Younger Daughter if she wanted someone else to stay with her, she said she wanted everyone to stay with her....me, for obvious reasons, Older Daughter so they could veg out and watch girl movies, Younger Son so they could play XBOX.... no deal, she just gets me and daddy!!! So, since I'm home, I decided I would take it easy, read some blogs, sew a tiny bit and watch preachers on TV and internet.

Hmmm, here is the breakfast of champion quilters! Don't ya just love coffee and biscotti???? Stop on by, and we'll have a nice little session of coffee and quilting!


Remember, yesterday I mentioned the Four Season's Quilt Swap? Well, last night, at 2:00 a.m., inspiration hit! I know, too late to sew, but I did some searching on the internet....and found a free pattern for this.


Isn't it too cute??? It's a 3 1/2 inch Log Cabin!!! Sure, it's paper pieced! Do you really think I would even TRY without a paper pieced foundation. So, this morning, when all was quiet....I started sewing. I only printed one last night, just to try it.....should have done more. The printer is in my bedroom and I finished the first one and wanted to make more. I just had to wait until Dear Hubby got out of bed to print them....we'll see if I finish enough to make the swap quilt!

I was reading Niki's Ventures and she has a post (same title - I stole it!!!) and she took some pictures of her house. So, I thought I'd copy her. No, I didn't clean my house either....but having Grandma living with us, it's rarely dirty....just the sewing room!!! LOL

I took a picture of the sewing table. See all the little scraps for the Log Cabin block? To the right of the sewing machine is the printed rules for the swap. I don't want to make a mistake!


There is a picture of our piano. All three older children and I play, Younger Daughter is wanting to learn, but Older Daughter and I are so busy, I may have to pay for lessons....again!!! LOL Notice the quilts on the piano bench. They are just there temporarily. The top one is the table runner I just finished and under that is the Granny's Strings quilt I am just about done with. It's so big and heavy, that I try to keep it out of the way when I'm not quilting it.

A picture of our china hutch....which has old dishes, tea cups and tea pots in it. A family member commented that it looks like an old lady lives here, but I love to look at them and so, there they are! You should surround yourself in the things you enjoy!


Every quilter needs lots of books for inspiration and here are mine. Maybe I need a few more!!








And lastly, our comfy couch! Here is where all the visiting goes on! Notice the sick person essentials, remote and Kleenex!

Happy Quilting!
