Best Laid Plans

You know, that old saying is so true. The best laid plans often go awry. It has been raining and windy both yesterday and today, so I haven't taken pictures yet. If I take them without natural light, they are very hard to see, very dark. I was planning to update the blocks for my headboard of my bed, the BCQC pieces I'm working on, the CTC stuff, and some Crewel work I have been enjoying lately. I hope the sun comes out soon. I have lots to catch up on. Here's hopeing 'tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya' tomorrow' will be a better day.

What language is this?

I was just reading the comments on My I won message, and there is something that I can't understand. Someone has posted a comment, but it is in an unknown font. Would that person please let me know what they had to say? I want to understand, and while you're at it, why did you post in such an off-beat manner?

My, but it has been a long time.

I have had a very difficult winter, and just thought I should check out my blog. I haven't blogged in months. So I have decided to do something about it.

I have been teaching on-line classes over at StitchMAP on Yahoo. It's not too difficult except for when you really need to do something hands-on. That does take some working out. I am currently teaching Basic Crazy Quilting and Color Theory. I will post some pics this weekend, because I am going to take pictures tomorrow when the sun shines.

Because these classes are new, the mentors are also taking the class. We are making the projects along with the apprentices. If you would like to learn something new to do with a needle, or need something to help fill your days (LOLOLOL), why not come over and join us. You would be welcome.

Wedding Quilt Block

On stitchMAP, we are replacing a wedding quilt wall hanging that was destroyed in a fire. It is all done in pink, white, and green. This is my block with just the lace and simple seam stitches. I'll show the finished block when I get it done.
