Distracted

No quilt sandwiches got made because I got distracted yesterday afternoon. First there was a much needed break. You know where you are going to sit recline with a good book to rest for a moment and end up asleep for an hour. Then I got the phone call to come eat fresh garden peas, homemade cornbread and cobbler made from just off the tree peaches at my sister's house. Brother-in-law grilled BBQ pork to complete the meal. Who can turn that down? Especially, when you know the great nieces - nephew will provide the entertainment. Here is one of the distractions (and, the owner of the quilts should I ever get them sandwiched and finished).
I never post family pictures - security issues - but I thought this shot taken up close and personal by the 4 year old sister would be perfectly safe and secure.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Happy quilting to all!

TWO Bright, CHEERFUL Baby Quilt Tops!


My cutting skills have improved somewhat ... will have to work on picture taking next! Sorry for the crooked photos. I do not have a design wall so I sort of stuck these to the wall with pins.

Regardless of my lack of picture taking skills, I now have TWO bright, cheerful baby quilt tops. I read babies are stimulated by primary colors. Hopefully, that is true. Otherwise, I can give these to a clown to wave in front of charging bulls.
My brilliant mind has decided these TWO do not need borders ... both seem to be busy enough! Besides they are perfect baby quilt size as is. My plans are to use the stripped material to back the first quilt and the dark blue sashing from above to back the second quilt.

I am having fun today! Hope all of you are doing the same. Now I am off to make quilt sandwiches while I am on a roll. Happy quilting to all!

YEAH INTERNET!!

One might think I was addicted BUT twenty four hours without Internet is a wee bit much. How can I possibly know what all of you are up to when I cannot get to blogger? I was about to need medical attention. I switched to Comcast as my service provider. Old carrier was disconnected yesterday and Comcast scheduled for 8-10 a.m. this morning. The tech phoned at 8 to say he would be here in 10 minutes and he was! I am excited!

I AM DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!
