Hey Everyone It's Raining !!!

Yes it is, BUT it's suppose to be clear tomorrow and rain then the rest of the week?? reckon the weather person will hit it right??
You know I would not want to be a weather person, some people actually get mad at them, but it's not their fault what the weather does, LOL....

Jackie, that sounds like the book I bought by Carol Doak, Can't wait to get started but it will have to wait until I get some chairty blocks finished....the disadvantage of living in the boonies is you live to far to get in on classes and I don't do well driving at night......Are you doing much PP now?

O.K. everyone, I hope you all are resting well and are in dreamland, thats where I am headed now, so sleep tight.
Be safe.

Another Month Has Almost Bit The Dust !!!

Hello everyone,
How are you all doing?? The weather is cooling down and I love it, We have been able to turn the air off in the daytime for 2 days now.....

For you Red and White Block of the Month swappers, how are you all coming along with your blocks?? I've got my fabric picked out and washed for next months block and I may work on it tomorrow afternoon, only 3 more blocks left, In November we will make 2 blocks for November and December, I don't know about ya'll but December is always a busy month for me , not only because of the holidays but it's time to go to the eye doctor and other things that have to be taken care of.

I have been wanting to start learning Paper Piecing so I ordered a DVD by Carol Doak it's Carol Doak Teaches You to Paper Piece, looks like a good teaching DVD.....now to get my scanner hooked up to scan off some of the patterns from a book I have.

O.K. I'm off for the night, you all have a great Sunday.
Be Safe,
Hugs, Louise
