This is one of the final blocks of the quilt I have been working on for a very long time. It is a quilt for my pal Carllann.
I have a few more blocks to assemble, then make the quilt sandwich and it will be done. I can honestly say I have never put more work into a quilt before;
it's my own fault, I got carried away with the embroidery part. I haven't embroidered anything in years. It is time consuming, can be frustrating, but is totally worth it. I think it gives the quilt a very interesting look. Hopefully my friend will feel the love that I put into it!
I'll post a picture this weekend~!
It's on...I am officially being paid to blog! As exciting as that sounds I would starve to death on what I am making so don't get too excited for me. Writing has always come pretty easy to me and it is something I enjoy. My husband has done quite a bit of sports writing, and he is a radio broadcaster as well. My son. who is now in college is a fiction writer, he started writing stories in elementary school and hopes to publish some day, my daughter published an awesome hardback book of tattoos, and my brother is a musician/songwriter. What I'm saying is... it's is a family affair, it must be in our DNA!
My latest addition, now I just have to learn how to use it! My Droid was failing badly so I got the Galaxy S III. Love it so far, but will take awhile to figure out how to use it. Lots of new toys that I will use once and then probably delete. Some apps are important, like the navigator or the camera, even the extra bright flashlight...I also like the post it notes app, very handy. Seriously though, most importantly it helps me remember things and keep in touch with the people I care about, which is pretty important!
Nothing improves your perspective like a little laughter. Last night we went to Alberta Bair in Billings to see Lisa Lampanelli. She was hysterical! Wildly inappropriate, but that's her style. She says out loud all of those things everyone else is thinking. Loved it! If you ever get the chance to catch her show, don't miss it!
