Quilting in the barn

I thought it was time to let everyone know that I'm still alive and kicking, mostly. I wrote a post awhile back but couldn't get my pictures from my camera to the putter. I still can't! I need Brittany to come home for a visit to help me figure it out...

Wow, I didn't realize how long its been! Did you miss me? I have been missing since June of last year. I think I was on strike from blogging because I got tired of people pointing out when I hadn't blogged in a while, but I never intended to be gone...

On my last day off I decided to go out to the barn and to do a little sewing. I wanted to make this quilt top that I had seen over at Babyboomers blog. It really caught my eye when I saw it and I knew I had to make one. So I did. Do you see what is wrong...

I decided to do this little hot pad today. Kathy and Doris from my quilt guild made up little kits and directions for these to give us at retreat.It turned out really cute but it took me to trys to get it right. Sometimes I'm a little slow at directions...
