Challenge Monday

It's been a week that's for sure. I haven't lost or gained. I know what that means I need to get exercising. I have been so busy and not made time for it. I don't have a choice now. So, looks like the TV and I will once again become acquainted. :( The benefits will be sweet.. Oh now I didn't mean sweet as in sugar sweet!! Way to go Jen.. Keep up the good work with not smoking. Nothing much more to say today I want to finish reading some more diet challengers messages and I need to get some projects done so I will have some pics.

Keep Smiling!

Friday the 13th good luck Blogaversary...

I can hardly believe I made it! Took me a long time to get to 50 posts.. so I thought I would have a giveaway for my few loyal readers. What better day to get lucky and win than Friday the 13th! All you have to do is leave a comment and share a quilting tip. I will put all names in a drawing and choose a winner on Sunday morning. This is what you get.. 2 Moda Charm packs "Poetry Collection" by April Cornell... and count them.. 13 spools of thread no two colors the same. Now who can't use thread?? I know many people applique so there is a variety of colors.

Tonight was the brown bag reveal at out Guild meeting. You had to put minimum 5 fat quarters with a holiday theme in a brown bag. You could tell the person what you might like in the way of a project. I got Halloween fabrics and in my last post you saw I made a Happy Jacks table runner with Kim's Big Quilting Adventure tutorial. Carolyn Holcomb was the recipent and she really liked it. I have a picture of the result from fabrics I put into my brown bag. I put fat quarters from a stack I purchased from Miss Geranium Take a Bough for Christmas. I LOVE MY RUNNER made for me by Loretta Frilot.








Last but not least.. I will be the best smelling girl in Havasu and wherever I go for that matter. My blog win from Deb over at Cucaroo arrived today. I will post pics on Saturday when I have more time to arrange the little perfume samples. I am soooo amazed at the very creative packaging these days. Thank you again Deb!!

Now that my brown bag is done I can focus on my summer camp project and my quilts that I will be hanging in my booth at the quilt show this year. Havasu Stitchers is having their quilt show this year. It's a great show and if you are in our town first of November please come by. I will post more details later. Also, we will be having our annual Quilting At the Lake event in January and had to increase it to 5 days. Shar Jorgenson is coming back this year and several other teachers. I will be posting details for that later if you are interested. It's so much fun!! I have been very lucky to move here and have such a great guild to belong to.

Stipple Smipple........Giveaway Info!

I spent this evening doing some 'stippling' something

that most say is very fun and easy.. Uh huh.. well,

I figured it would be easy.. because................. I cheated

and got some Stipples made easy paper.. LOL Look at this...

It's hard to tell but this is my Happy Jacks table runner.

I managed to finally get all the paper off the runner and cleaned up my mess. All I have

to do is sew down the binding.

This is a Brown Bag Swap with my quild. I hope the recipent likes it. I know her and think she will understand this is only my second time stippling. Oh yes, it is true, I piece tops.. I don't quilt. I really need to get more practice though and get more tops quilted.

Well, the calendar says Friday the 13th tomorrow.. and people think that is unlucky. I think my blog will turn 50 .. LOL yes.. only 50 after blogging all this time. Soooooooo, check back on Friday the 13th to see how you can be lucky and win my blogaversary giveaway!

Keep Smiling!

Another Loser Monday

I didn't have a chance to weigh in. I tried really hard to be good this week. I go to
the doctor next week so I will weigh in and report. We were asked to bring a soup
recipe today. I don't actually have a recipe... but, I wanted to share about Progressive
soups. I had an opportunity to partake in a sale... $1.33 a can. WoW, I got several.
The WW points are mostly 0 and 1. The flavor is very good!!! I really like the pot roast one.
So, if you have a chance, try one.. you just might like them.
No pictures yet and nothing much to share.. I have been very busy with some deadlines.
I wish you all a great week! Keep watching for a giveaway............and

Keep smiling!
Kim :)
