I have been thinking about where I could take this blog over the next year and still develop myself as a quilter. I’ve been asking for input from my quilting friends as well.
So here it is…TRIANGLES! (more…)

May has come and gone for the most part. We have partially recovered from moving, getting married and both starting new jobs. Whew, that was a lot in just a few months.
Back in the real world we are adjusting to our new schedules and fitting the rest of life in. There is biking, running, sewing, cooking, yard work, etc that all needs to be done. Don’t forget time with our two very needy dogs. Luckily, there isn’t much on TV that I like during the summer and I feel I can run on less sleep than normal.
While I haven’t been posting much over the last week, I have been in my room sewing quite a bit. I even woke up early this morning. My creative juices are flowing!
Things I’m working on:
On a side note, I have LOST my seam ripper. Really, I had two of them and now I can’t find one of them. GRRR!!!
This is one of biggest weekends for the city of Indianapolis, make sure to check out the race on Sunday. Even if you’re not a fan, you’ve got to respect people that are willing to drive at over 200 mph for my entertainment. Bring on the sunblock and beers.
Have you seen the Downy commercials recently? I love that they are giving back to kids with a program Quilts for Kids. I would like to see more than $.05 per bottle going to this charity, but it’s a start. I wonder how many bottles they have sold so far??
I did some research into Quilts for Kids this morning and was impressed by their mission. Saving fabric from landfills.
MISSION STATEMENT: Transforming discontinued, unwanted and other fabrics into patchwork quilts that comfort children with life-threatening illnesses and children of abuse.
So green and a great idea.
Volunteering is easy and they will also take other donations as well. Not sure if the quilts will stay local like a Project Linus chapter.
Has anyone already done something with them?? Do you have photos to share?
4.5 UPDATE:
Just got an email that my package is on the way. It’s like Christmas, what will I get??
