for example: this morning, i showed for PT at my 8am timeslot. the receptionist looks at me and informs me that i'm not on the schedule. i am... but not for another 2 hours... my 8am appointment was for work and our monday morning meeting! oops.
oh! and happy PI day to you! i think i'm going to grab an apple pie on my way home tonight and have 3.14th of it for myself. :)
there are a few readers out there who know all about the picture above. it's something i've been excited about since october when we picked out the fabric line and it's finally ready to rock and roll.
HMQG is doing their own charm pack challenge. we chose kate spain's "central park" line from moda for our charm pack and some of us named it "project park." our rules allow us one charm pack and a 1/2 yard of additional fabric to be used on the main project of our choice. if you make a quilt, you are allowed more fabric for backing and binding, but nothing more than the charm pack and up to the 1/2 yard. if you make a tote bag - same thing, but you're allowed more for the lining since it's not the main portion of the project. there are about a dozen and a half of us participating and i can't wait to see what everyone is going to make. we received our charm packs a couple weeks ago and we have until the april meeting to complete the project. woohoo! now...i just have to get started on whatever it is that i'm making!
this weekend, i managed to baste the baby quilt with [K]'s help. i set up my extension table, picked out a lovely warm pink thread and attached the walking foot. this is going to be my first real quilt with the walking foot... as of last night, i had two lines stitched. and then i was too tired. so much for being faster than handquilting and free-motion, right?
check back soon - there should be updates on project park after this saturday's HMQG meeting in our brand new home!
