This Old Batt

It's been way too long since I did a post. I am feeling guilty. Life has taken over my life this last week. I'm back at work and had so much fun during Christmas Break that I wasn't ready to go back so this last week kind of just happened. I did do some things but I must get more organized or I will be in trouble.

As you remember (I hope), I long-armed a quilt last Saturday. Well, I finished it!


Thanks to those whose fingers are showing! I always try to quilt my initials on each quilt I do.

Sometimes it looks better than other times. This one isn't too bad. I love quilting with the bright variegated thread.

This quilt is a twin to the 30's quilt I already finished.

This isn't the best picture but you get the idea. I just noticed that it is being held upside down. The flower square isn't going in the right direction. Both quilts are for sale. Let me know if you are interested.

Saturday morning I went to book club. It was a potluck brunch. We have a wonderful group in our book club....lots of fun and laughter. We ate, talked about The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, ate some more, chose our books for next year, and decided to start a blog for The Book Worm Bunch. We figured that was the easiest way to get the schedule out and post the recipes from our brunch.

My daughter and I went to Fabric Depot in the afternoon. I needed to pick up some fabric for a Bow Tuck Tote that someone ordered. She wants it for a diaper bag and it had to be pink and brown.


I love this fabric! I'll put covered elastic loops inside to hold bottles. She also wants a changing pad. She has a plastic one. I think I will make covers for it so she can just switch when one needs washing. See the cork floor behind the fabric. My dear hubby put that in for me. I love it!

Just so I won't be bored I started on the bow tie quilts. These are project probation quilts. I took this class four or five years ago and never finished them. Carrie showed me the setting she wanted and I started putting it together.

After I get the center put together I'll add borders. Hmmm..I wonder what color? I still have plenty more to make another quilt.


I might have to sew some more, though, if I want to make three quilts for Carrie's girls. Wouldn't that be sad? I have to sew some more!

OK...I've rambled enough. It has been fun to see the kids at school again. I've also had some good laughs because of their antics. I will try to run my life better instead of letting life run me.
