Too Long

This is the longest that I have not posted...but I have a fairly good reason.  I was lucky enough to go away on vacation for two weeks.  My husband and I were celebrating our big wedding anniversary and we went to Amsterdam and Munich (Oktoberfest).  We were lucky enough to go with our close friends who were also celebrating their anniversary.  We had a great time and my friend posted pictures on her blog bestfriends25th.blogspot.com.  I wish I could post pictures, but I borrowed my daughter's camera and am waiting for her to get home from school.  Why you ask?  because I cannot find the connector between the computer and camera.

And this past week, we have been without power so I was unable to post...and so the excuses pile up.

However I do have one picture I would love to share with you.  This quilt top is the result of the my summer sew days with my friend Priscilla.  I love the way it turned out.  It is a string quilt, but I had drafted a picture of it before I began working on it.  So all the blocks were planned before I sewed them together.  It was really quite easy, but I could not do a thing without the draft paper.

It is really large, a little over a 100" x 100".  I thought I was going to use it in my bedroom, I desperately need a quilt for my bed.  Would you believe I do not have one for it yet?  But the more I look at it, I see it is just right for one of my daughters.  So, as always, guess where it will end up?

And, by the way, I have been keeping up with my Christmas Through the Year Club gifts.  I have just not had enough time to post pictures of what I have made.  Hopefully I will do that soon.
