On retreat

Just got started on this, another quilters cache block slightly altered. Had to cut fabric and it was getting late. Will save for another bee time. We had a great time. Stayed in the "bridge" suite at north myrtle Beach towers. There were 23 of us. Good food and good sewing.
Sunny sewing today.

Another row by row from sew happy in clayton. Love the water fabric. Have to put in frame for aquarium before the little boy gets eaten.

I love the elephants row by row 2015 from cary quilting. They are so creative. Just have to do embroidery for tails and legs.

On retreat

I had cut out pieces before leaving for retreat with quilt group from Sneads ferry so this was an easy put together. Love the sailboats.

Greek cross

This is a quilt using "quilters cache pattern Greek cross. If you rearrange the 9patch squares you get churn dash. I like the center square fabrics but not easy to match for borders and binding. Will try to get binding done tonight.
Sunset quilting.

Guild meeting.

The attendance was sparse last night. And it wasn't snowing or anything! These are Sudies dear Jane blocks. She said she is learning a lot. Terry and Ann are doing penny rugs and other woolie things. Makes me feel guilty for things bought and not done so I'm taking two kits of the patterns for row by row that I bought last year. Now I want to get out the wool ones.
Too much fabric not enoughtime.
Think I'll fix a chicken sandwich.
Hungry quilting.

Eggcelent breakfast

I will try to post this. Phone says it is looking for location
Annoying.  If I had known it was going to work I would have written more.  I just discovered the soft boiled egg with toast sticks for breakfast.  What fun.  The egg is truly wonderful.  It is its own bowl and trash can.  

change

I think in about 10 years if I am still on this earth and breathing I will not be able to turn on the computer.  I hate change for change sake or because 5 out of 50000 people would like to be able to do this or that on a computer.  I accepted Windows 10 but now I am getting messages that I have to register my windows in 17 days.,  Or what??? well it seems as if my programs will not be supported.
Maybe register is not the right word.  Things that worked last week don't work now.  It is past annoying.  I used to be able to post on my blog from my phone thanks to  my niece who helped me set it up at Thanksgiving.  I click on a picture send to blog and write then it is published.
Well that doesn't work now.  I used to make calendars to use for appointments monthly and put current pictures on them from my documents.  Well that doesn't work now.
I used to be able to send pictures from my phone to my computer.  You guessed it that does not work now.  And forget the help wizards.
I guess this just frees me up to quilt more.
Nothing wrong with that.
Had a good time shopping and eating in Raleigh and Chapel Hill today.
Scrappy quilting.
