Time to take a deep breath!

Since last weekend when Sports Man's soccer team lost two days in a row in a double elimination tournament, our soccer season is over. Bittersweet!







NOW, he just has high school baseball on his plate, instead of two sports at once! I felt like I had roller skates on, and I was not even playing!






now I can work on this: Any suggestions on how to quilt this? It has been loaded on my frame, but since I have not decided on how I want to quilt it...there it SITS....SIGH!







I have made 3 of these little >sweet zips from Terry Aktinson. Before you tell me there are only TWO in the picture, my husband grabbed his and RAN Off before I could snap a picture. You see he is using his for his IPOD...and before a sweet zip made out of AF Academy fabric, he had a sweet little envelope bag with a snap made from oriental silky fabric...PINK silky fabric! He likes the manlier look! :::snicker:::: I added a ribbon loop for a caribeener (is that how you spell that hooky gadget from mountain climbing? I love them for keys!) Sports man uses his for his contact case and a small bottle of contact solution.



And this is what is on my design wall. I found the missing sections the day the quilt show opened. Figures! I guess its destined for next yrs show! I am putting the sections together slowly. They are kinda fiddly...and I want the seams to match REALLY well if I am thinking of entering it in the show







And JUST so you know, I'm a typical quilter...here is a REAL look at one of the working areas in my sewing room. I just clear a path if I need to take a picture! Just a small service I offer so you don't feel overwhelmed like I do!

I am hoping to post more often now. I'm taking an online whole cloth quilt class at MQResource. I will try to post a few pictures of my drawing progress tomorrow. See you then!
