A Small Project

Happy Friday to you! Well, hubby has flown the nest for the weekend so I've got tons of time on my hands. This was a small kit I got in Alaska, a wall hanging to remind me of our trip. As many of you know, I love quilting-especially hand quilting but somehow I never got into Applique. I tried it and even took a class at Pacific International Quilt Show but just never mastered it. In fact, to be honest I will tell you that I've been intimidated by it for years now. So when I saw how easy this technique is, I knew I had to give it a try. My bff, Barb aka quilter extraordinaire, helped me when we were in Ca. I'd love to say that this weekend I am going to put a back on it and do fmq, but I've also got a new book to review and those doll clothes to begin. This would only take a bit of time, so we will see.

 

Our girl, Kim and her family, are going down to the Springs for the night;  Hunter will have Petrol here to play with. The pups get along so well, I know they'll have a ball. We woke up to snow on the ground today and I am so very thankful that our furnace got fixed last night. Apparently, when you hook up a new thermostat, you need to turn the power off-which hubby didn't do. This caused a fuse to blow out; it was so an easy and cheap fix-lesson learned. Now I have to figure out how to program it today. Wish me luck. I don't have a lot of plans for the weekend~maybe going to Homegoods, Kohl's and Hobby Lobby. Monday I have our craft group and need to get materials for our project. I hope you have a warm and wonderful day!
Hugs, Noreen & Hunter
