Out of the Darkness
Time Flies!!!

Wow Time really does fly when your having fun! Here
it is almost the end of the month and I haven't been
posting any new updates. Shame on me.
Been busy quilting, well sewing to be exact.
Here is a beautiful picture of the table runner that I made last month, it was such a nice picture, I had to add it in here.
The picture was on the home page of my quilting group a while ago. The owner of the group put the two pictures together and added my name and location to it.
So lets see... I need to share some more pictures with you cause I didn't get a chance to post them earlier. These are the squares from the block of the month that I have been working on. If you remember I did post a picture of the first block that I had finished. Here man can't believe that was back in August! well here are some more blocks from that same quilt of Pam Bono's.
This is block number two:
Here is block number three:
I have block number four finished, I just don't think I have a picture of it. I will have to look and see if I do. If I don't guess I will have to pull out the camera and get my butt in gear!
Aside from all that, I have also been finishing up on my Quilt Diva.... about have her all sewn down and then I can put her and hang her. She is going to accompany me in my sewing room.
I have also (of course I have) started a new block of the month. This one is applique... in fact I am doing needle turn applique. This is the first time for me attempting this type of applique. I figured I could teach myself, but got very frustrated and gave in to the fact that I don't know everything. I went to my mother-in-law for moral support and a quick lesson. She is wonderful... showed me how to do it, and I was off and running. Well I shouldn't say running, as this is a slow process for me, and might take me forever just to finish one block!!!! I guess maybe the correct terminology would be a very slowly paced walk. This is the finished block (mind you its not mine, its what it will look like when complete)
This is mine! It took me a whole 2 days just to applique the star down! Its going to take me forever and then some. But its good, by the time I am done with this quilt I will be the applique queen! At least after 12 blocks of this stuff I would hope I would be queen. LOL
Now please also note I am in the process of appliqueing the leaf and stem down, so no that is not how its going to look when its finished.
Just a quick update on the birds:
Jasmine has re-chewed her wings and her tail feathers. I am blaming it on hormones, as she isn't stressed by her living conditions and in fact she is spoiled (if thats possible)
Indie is still happy go lucky little birdie! Still not talking yet, and probably wont ever, but he is fun to listen to... he makes so many funny noises.
I added a couple more videos, in case no one has noticed. I also added in a picture in the quilts section that I just finished making for a dear friend of mine. It was her Birthday present. Happy Birthday Kathy!!! Hugs
See what happens when I don't post for a month. WOWWee that was a lot, wasn't it. I need to try and post more often.

Block of the Month
12/Aug/07 10:00 PM
Been a
while since I last posted, I know, I am sorry. Been
so busy with life. After finally finishing the quilts
for my works auction, and the baby blanket for a
friend. I thought I would actually take some time for
my self. I joined a block of the Month back in April.
I currently have 5 months of blocks that need my
attention and I haven't really done much of it except
to pre-wash the fabric.
A Block of the Month (BOM) for those that do not know, is a quilt that is broken down into blocks that are given out one block per month. You get the pattern for that block and the material required to make it. Well I finally got the first one completed. Here it is, Morning Glory
I had started on the second block but did not get it complete, than to top it off Sunday came and I had a migraine from hell. So needless to say, I didn't get anything done on that day.
The completed quilt is called "Out of Darkness" if you would like to see the final result of the finished quilt, it is located here: Pam Bono Designs. I am going to try and post a picture of each block as I finish it, as I think the quilt is just gorgeous.
I also have some pictures of the quilt that I have completed for the auction, as well as the baby blanket (ducks & frogs are on it)that took me forever to finish. I have added these to my quilts page if you are interested in seeing them. I have also thrown on some new pictures of Indie and Jasmine.
Thats about it for today. Just quilt talk, nothing much to report on about the fids. Other than, Jasmine has her vet appointment on tuesday, lets hope everything goes well.
