I am planning on making a friend a big tote today. It is rainy outside so it is a perfect day to do it.

What I am doing today? I will be finishing up a zig zag quilt. I have been for the last Month trying to make quilts and sell them since my husband lost his job and it has been hard for him to find another job and I believe it is his age. Just like insurance they dont want to take someone who is over 50 becouse most people start having health problems. But anyway that is what I will be doing today.

I am going to a quilting workshop that our guild is having. We will be making X-large quilting totes. I will then come home and perhaps finish any part of the project that I didn't get done there.

Today I will do a little cleaning...and I do mean little. I promised my 8 yr.old granddaughter that I would go to her first softball game then the balance of the day will be quilting. I have several quilts in the construction phrase right now.

I'm stitching away with my machine on the 2nd ever starburst quilt I made. Shopping for groceries is also on my list. And then I'm hoping to win / buy / find more fabric to build up my stash.. TY for asking. Granny

I'm new and not real sure how this works but here goes. I am working on a rail fence throw and have been quilting the borders. Well, I discovered (after almost 2 full sides done) that I wasn't happy with the way the quilting was going so I have been ripping and ripping out stitches. It's going slow because first I dislike ripping very much and second I have a cold and it's getting worse (by the minute it seem). This afternoon I am going to keep my 4 yr old DGD so probably won't do much then.

Today I'll finish the back of my latest quilt ... and maybe if the stores aren't closed be able to pick up my batting so I can put the quilt together to start machine quilting. If the stores are closed, then I'll start cutting my squares for a baby rag quilt I'll be doing out of denim and flannel.

Today I am watching your tutorials and learning a lot of neat things. I think your tutorials are wonderful. After this, I am going to finish up a quilt top I have been working on and hopefully quilt it myself....chicken I am...just learning this part. This site is a wonderful place for learning and meeting such friendly and helpful people. :-)

I finally figured out how to sign up for the weekly give away. Please ignore my earlier post. What am I doing today? Right now I am posting this thread. Then I will be sewing on my rag quilt that I have promised my sister-in-law for 1 yr. (almost finished). Then at 6pm get my hair trimmed and dyed. Need it badly. Tomorrow I am so excited. I will pick up my new sewing and embroidery machine a Babylock Esante at 3pm. In the a.m. I will be with my friends working on another quilt so its busy, busy, busy. Love this site. Everyone is so nice. I love the tuts and Jenny. She is so talented.

We have our grandchild visiting with us....she is almost two! At this point, she is taking a nap and I am watching your tutorials for honey buns. Can't wait to start the keyhole block!

A quilt guild acquaintance had a garage sale-found some great quilting and crafting deals! The rest of my day is chores and errands.

Re: Giveaway Week 16 - April 22nd - 29th 2011

Today, I am working on the barn cleanup and finsihing my chicken yard. I will also be re-organizing my craft/sewing /guest room. I hate trying to plan projects without good organization of materials. A little OCD but we are what we are. Somewhere along the way today I will have to fit in 2 - 30 minute exercise programs. I have one program slated for horsebacking riding/training with my mustang at 4 pm so I just need to find time for one more with the Wii. Then of course, I still have the usual feeding of the critters and cleaning stalls not to mention my own housework.
