Charmed, I'm sure....

You're right, I have been very lax in my posting in 2009! Sorry about that. It's partly because I am trying hard to finish a few things that I had begun working on a while ago. I took this picture last week of a charm square pattern that I started in the Fall. Emily and I picked a background "like in the picture" on the pattern, but when I made a couple of square in square blocks - yuk! So, it got chucked into a box. I dug it out a couple of weeks ago and am proud to say that it now has borders and is over at Nikki Crisp's house waiting its turn to be quilted! Hooray!! And the red/white double Irish chain is living (with borders) over at Betsy's waiting to be quilted. And the chicken quilt only has to have the last checkerboard border put on and then it's ready for quilting. So, even though it isn't a great excuse, that's my story. (That, and I need to get Christmas off of the walls at the store and have to have something to put in its place.)

Weather....wow! I know lots of us were saying "just give us the rain back" when we had all of that snow, but this isn't exactly what we had in mind either. Hope none of you suffered any significant damage. Our basement at home stayed dry (that's where my sewing room is) and only a damp ceiling tile at the shop, so we were very fortunate.

Not a lot of freight this week - poor UPS/FedEx folks - will they ever catch up? But, the Marines did land, along with the Air Force - the Robert Kaufman fabrics. Got a few other "basics", but that was pretty much it. Tomorrow the Saturday meeting of the KT Klub happens, so that will be fun. And then I am going to do my best to get the borders on the chickens and Emily and I were looking at the "Bali Bag" as a possible project.

Have a wonderful weekend!
