The latest quilt: "Toad in a Puddle"  I cannot say how bad I wish I had my new machine when I was 20 and suffering from insomnia!  Since Augie was born I have no problem sleeping and less spare time.

This is for my step-cousin, Chris Holt and his wife Kris (you can't choose who you fall in love with,or at least their name, can you?).  It is a "flying geese" pattern.   After finishing it I found some tips for making the corners less bulky in a magazine.  I just have the binding to do after machine quilting it myself. I am also going to transfer the signature to the back this time instead of embroidry.  Found a really cool poem, so I think that will be my signature from now on.

My mother fell and broke her L arm and R leg last week, so I spent most of last weekend in the hospital keeping her company.

I also have one of those Facebook thingies.  If you're on FB, look me up. Or not, it's about as exciting as this blog . . .  I am like a pig to a trough with FB.  I have even learned to check everyone's status (not that it matters) from my blackberry!
