About Time

I guess it's been a while since I've posted. Just been busy with everyday life and babysitting the boy. I did finally get my Project Improv donation blocks finished and sent. I sent them along with some binding and a thank you gift to Jacquie http://www.tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/ for all her hard work on the project.

I also finished up my Bushfire Quilts blocks and sent those along to Tia http://campfollowerbags.blogspot.com/ with some binding and some Dunkin Donuts coffee for the quilt a thon. I had to represent against the Starbucks coffee.

I"ve also been working on a summer quilt (no batting) and curtains for "the boy's" new bedroom. I based it on a quilt by Jacquie, I hope she doesn't mind. He's been moved upstairs to his own room now that he's such a big boy. (13 months old.) It's amazing how fast they grow up. I'm so glad I've been able to spend time with him every day to see the progress first hand.

Hopefully I'll finish some bags I'm working on and I'll have some pictures to post soon.

Moeder Kip Goodies

A while back I participated in the International Stash Busting Giveaway, and to my surprise, I actually won something. Some really cute prints from Moeder Kip, a blogger in Australia.
http://www.moederkip.blogspot.com/ She is participating in Handmade Help, to raise money for the Australian Red Cross, and Wildlife Victoria by auctioning an adorable childs dress . Please check out her blog for more details. I'm hoping that tonite I can finish my donation blocks for the Bushfire Quilt project. As usual, I'm late. Hopefully I'll be back with pics tomorrow.

Party prep for the BIG DAY!!

Well, It's only 4 more days until the BIG DAY. NO, I am not talking about the Superbowl. I am talking about the boy's 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mom, Dad, and the Boy are in Colorado, freezing, while I am here in sunny Florida basking in the sunshine. OK, maybe I am just looking at it out the window while I blog, sew a banner for the party, make a crown for the Prince. (the BOY thinks he's the KING) I thought I would have much more done while they 've been gone, I guess the list is too long. I can't wait until he gets back on Saturday. Yeah, I miss Mom and Dad too.

I did manage to get another donation block done for Project Improv. I also signed up for another giveaway. More on that Tommorrow. Here's a picture of the block. Also a picture of the practice crown.

Project Improv

Well, I guess you can see by the button on the sidebar, that I joined Project Improv. It is being hosted by Jacquie of Tallgrass Prairie Studio. Being that I am, as I've previously mentioned, a procrastinator, I Decided to get my donation block done ASAP. I have to say, that for the last 6 months or so, I seem to have misplaced my quilting mojo. Making my block last night seems to have started my creative juices flowing. Now if I can get on top of my time management skills. Oh, and I will have to talk to the boy about being more self sufficient. ;0)

Hi, I'm the other half of Uberstitch, the "mom", (and grandma ) :). Since my daughter has had to go back to work, I'm in charge of the business, the blog, and the boy :) This posting on a blog is new to me, I'm not sure how much of a writer I am. Although if you learn by osmosis, I sure be an expert since I certainly read alot of blogs. Right now I am trying to get the courage to join a project that Jacquie at Tallgrass Prairie Studio is starting with improvisational blocks. This style is right up my alley. I have a really hard time "staying inside the lines" and following instructions when I quilt. My other problem is I procrastinate. A lot. Maybe if I join the possibility of embarrassment will force me to finish. Well, I guess I'll think about it while I post some fabric on etsy, and clean up the dishes. And here is a new photo of the boy from his Christmas card photo shoot. I'm still waiting for a call from GQ.
