Sorta quilting


While we were on the Guild Shop Hop early this month, I saw this nifty wall decoration. It was so beautiful outside today that I just had to have a reason to sit on the deck for a little time between quilting and exercising. If I go exercise, the I can "quilt without guilt". I have to remember that one of my reasons for adopting another hobby (other than knitting) was to help keep me away from food. Anyway, back to my deck time. In one of the shops they had an old Scrabble board hanging on the wall. I loved it and now I have one for the quilting room. I am missing some tiles (thimble, pin, rip, triangle) but I am going to watch for a garage sale and snap up another game so that I can add more words and fill in my blanks. I made 13 boutique burpees for Allison today. She has numerous friends having babies and I love the fabrics she selects for me to stitch. More handstitching than anything.

  1. What a cute idea. Check Ebay, I bet you could find some tiles on there or a cheap game.

  5. Hey, Doc... e-mail me a list of the tiles you need. I've gotten a couple at garage sales and I'll help you out with them. I think that's a great idea.

    I hope you are recouping better than expected. I've been blog negligent trying to keep the garden up and watered and weeding and all that stuff, besides breaking a couple of ribs a couple of months ago and last week falling right straight down on my knee and bruising it deep and trying to gimp around the garden.
