Sort of Done...

Good Evening Internet Friends.

As many of you will know I have been working on PQM's Cracked Pots Mystery Quilt for the last six months.

As of late this evening, I have finished all of the piecing of blocks and the assembly.  Take a look:

I will add a green border around the entire quilt yet before I put on the borders.  I have chosen to do the borders a little differently this time due to the fabric I originally purchased for the border.  I bought a very directional fabric and to make this quilt look "Top Drawer", I have had to find additional fabric.  Thank goodness for the internet because I was able to locate the amount of fabric I needed to complete this project somewhere in Tennessee, and it has been shipped out to me.  YAY.  

Now off to try and get my other big project finished so that I can really feel like I got something done this weekend!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Work In Progress Wednesday

Good Evening Internet Friends!!

I'm back!!  I have been delinquent on my blogging over the past few days (got hives from something I ate at a restaurant this last weekend, and had to make a trip to my local emergency department for a migraine that would NOT get better yesterday !!!).

I am going to participate in the Work In Progress Wednesday  over at The Needle and Thread Network because it pushes me to get "stuff" done.

I am trying to finish my Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along and I think that I might be closing in on that:

This quilt is huge, so even on the queen size spare bed it does not show up all the blocks.  I think I will have to take it outside to the frozen lawn when I am all done, as each of the corners has a set of blocks that all "tell" the story that this quilt is based on!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

What's For Lunch?

Pizza!!!

It's Family Day today, and we had friends here for the weekend.  Today before they ventured home I made pizza for lunch along with a salad (pushing vegetables any way I can), and the pizza is cheese with veggies!

I tried this Pizza Dough out once before and it turned out FABULOUS, so it is now my default pizza dough recipe!

Hope you have had a safe and wonderful family day, and 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Pancake Sunday

Since today is part of the long weekend, I decided to make pancakes this morning. 

These Farm Favorite Oatmeal Pancakes turned out fantastic and definitely were what could be referred to as "stick to your ribs"!  Yummy, I will make these again.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Almost There

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I spent some time this evening finishing up my Block 6 of the Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along.

Here is where I am at:

 My plan is to get this quilt finished before this weekend is over!

Work In ProgressWednesday

Hello Internet Friends!

I decided to participate in the Work In Progress Wednesday again over at The Needle and Thread Network.

I was actually hoping to have this sock done, but I still have to graft the toe:

 This is actually my November Yarn from my Sock Yarn of the Month Club from Sweet Georgia Yarns.

One sock done, one more to go!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Quilting On...

Alright, so I managed to get my second of four from  Block 6 from my Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along done tonight.

Usually I chain piece so that I complete all the blocks at the same time, but since I made the first one of these as a "test" block to make sure I was doing it right, I have not been able to get into the mechanics of getting all of the blocks put together at once, so I am apparently completing them one at a time.

Allow me to introduce you to two of my Block 6:

TAH DAH!!!

I LOVE the colors of these blocks.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
