To BLing or not to bLING?

That's pretty much what I'm doing.............Trying to decide where to put the little jewels. And I had to ask my husband to take pictures, so this is how it went. Picture for me... wait 'til a commercial. Picture for me. Wait for a commercial. Then I get my camera back, and look who else was a "jewel"?

"EH, WHA'D YOU SAY?

Most of my friends are in the same boat as me, about the same age, same hearing capabilities...

This is us trying to figure out where to be-dazzle my quilt.

"So, did you come up with this quilt all by yourself?"
"Just me and my graph paper."
"Who are your craft friends?"
"My 'craft friends'?"
"Yes, you said your craft friends helped you make your quilt."
"Craft friends?"

Craft friends?? Craft Friends. Graph Paper. I guess they sound the same if your hearing isn't what it used to be. You hear the first word... sort of and assume what the next word ought to be.

Anyway, these are my quilt friends and they have be-dazzles. My be-dazzles are on back order. I'm borrowing theirs if mine aren't here by Thursday. So, hang in there. Soon. Soon I will have my first quilt with "Bling."

Meanwhile, I finished my Christmas quilt.

It's like having the toilet---

without the toilet paper!

I'm so BUMBED!

Waited all this time for my bedazzler and then it comes without the BE-DAZZLES!

Our Quakie Lane in all its glory!

Fall was beautiful, but it's about gone. Snow is in the forecast for tonight. Darn. Then I'll just have to stay home and find something to do.... maybe sew?!

Never say never....
or prepare to be
BEDAZZLED!!!

So I've seen all these quilts with rhinestones on them, and I thought, "Not on MY quilts. Never. No way!!" Guess what's in the mail? My own Bedazzler! Be prepared to be surprised, you're going to say, "Oh yea, that quilt needed the bling."

Do You Quilt EVERY day?

Some one actually asked me that. I have 6 kids, 13 grandkids, one acre of flowers and grass and trees, church jobs, a house to clean, a husband and a dog that need walking, meals to cook, laundry, ... and yes, that's what I do. I have to find some time every day to sew something. Well, not EVERY day.

But this was my first quilt I came up with on my own. I love it still, so I decided to do the pattern for it.

Every day... like I don't have a life. LOL
