Stylist asked me if I had ever colored my hair. I guess that is her subtle hint that I should. <br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Rochellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09378837324299186415noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629668177373684867.post-56013727114845685212012-06-02T08:54:00.001-05:002012-06-02T08:54:57.524-05:00GrowingThe braided rag rug is growing. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/06/02/967.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/06/02/s_967.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />About 18 inches across.

<br />
Hard to believe another <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2012/05/giveaway-day-may-21/" target="_blank">Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day</a> is on the horizon. If you have never participated, I highly recommend it. I personally think having a giveaway is just as much fun as browsing through all the awesome blogs. The creativity on the blogs will inspire you but giving something away will warm your heart. <br />
<br />
So start thinking now what you would give away. It starts Monday, May 21st. Hmmm... Now what do I want to give away?? Something from my stash or make something special?<br />

I had an unexpectedly good time. The guest speaker was Jill Mead, the editor of Quilts and More magazine. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/11/2990.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/11/s_2990.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Jill gave all if us a couple of magazines and I had to buy three of her patterns while I was there. The pattern photos have a very 1980's look to them but her stuffed looked fabulous on the guild members that modeled them. <br /><br />I was so impressed with the level of talent in the room. It might be a long while before I take something for show and tell. <br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Rochellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09378837324299186415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629668177373684867.post-29841251533154347972012-04-02T13:27:00.001-05:002012-04-02T13:27:06.033-05:00Yee-hawDropped off the double wedding quilt top at the long arm quilters place. You will be happy to know I didn't go with the cheapest option. For some reason I feel more comfortable with this long arm. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/02/2130.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/02/s_2130.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Now I am hunting though my fabrics looking for the next project.
