Today was the day to get my hair cut.  I really don't care about the length of my hair, but long bangs drive me crazy!!!!  I repotted a couple of house plants.  A family from Roundup came and got the piano.  It took a while to get it out and loaded up, but it is gone!  Way more room in my dining room.

 Finished Blue Moon by  Janine Burke.  It has a wool batt and I quilted it with  Sulky 30 wt. cotton in a varigated blue.Now I just  have to make a label. I should have changed the dimensions. I think I did change a row, but wished I had changed two. I learned to pay more attention to the overall finished measurements.

It is 84" x 112" that isn't wide enough for Cindy's bed, so I am going to make a Bonnie Hunter pattern, Narragansett Blues. 

  Cindy and I went to Bernina yesterday for their sale , so she could pick a couple pieces of fabric.  It is going to be scrappy, but I wanted to see what kinds of fabric she liked.  She doesn't like quilts that have sashing or plain alternate blocks.

I have put off my hip replacement surgery until April 14th because of the cost benefit, but I am not able to sit and sew much.  I am spending lots of time in my recliner, so I can hand quilt or read.

I went to get a hip injection today from Dr. Phipps, but I decided to get a hip replaced on February 23 instead.  Yikes!

I didn't get a wild and goosey block done today, but I did quilt a couple hours on the Blue Moon.  I also used the new binding bars and put thezipper in the sweater that Cindy knit for Tim.  They work well, but I did have resew it 3 times.  It is important to keep the sweater flat and to use a rotary cutting mat underneath.  I swore that the right side was shorter than the left.  :)  I thought I could just sit in my chair with my feet up, but no.

A new month.....I was reading on quiltville studio that someone had lost their quilting mojo, and they were wondering why people quilted.  I guess I quilt because I have to.......

I am working on several things at this time........

I am doing well with my goal to machine quilt on Blue Moon everyday.  I shoot for about an hour.

Then I continue to work on Evelyn Sloppy"s Entwined.

Then using some scraps and refreshing my paper piecing skills, I am working on wild and goosey from Bonnie Hunter's addicted to blocks in Quiltmaker magazine. My goal is to complete one a day, and so far I have achieved the goal.

On the stashbusters yahoo group, there is often talk of a quilt called trail mix.  I did not wish to buy another book, so I have decided to use parts of it, but then make my leftover pieces into 8 inch blocks.  I really need some more containers to keep all these scrap projects straight,


Next I have decided to start to put my split 9 patch together.  I liked a log cabin layout posted by Diane Garey-Merrill.  I don't know how many more blocks I need, but I thought I would use what I have and then see.

And finally I need to get moving on the poppy quilt for my Mom's bed.

 I am hoping that listing all of these will help to keep me focused and not start something else new.  Although sitting here, I can see an applique quilt. a landscape quilt, and a kaleidoscope quilt all waiting to be worked on!
