World's greatest Monster Moml

July 6, 2004

Oh no no no. I am the original chicken quilter. I take classes. Would

never attempt anything on my own. I can't stand up to cut the fabric so the

teacher does my cutting for me. I am so grateful for her wonderful help. Once

you get the hang of the bargello quilt it is pretty straight forward. I have

all sorts of books but hardly use them. I did make a watercolor quilt on my

own. That was great fun. I hung a piece of flannel on the wall and took two

inch squares of different fabric and made a window box. Most of the fabric was

parts of flowers so I could make up my own flowers. That was really fun. But

then I had someone else quilt it for me. I was too chicken. Now I quilted my

bargello wall hanging, but all I did was stitch in the ditch. Even an idiot

could do that so I was able to accomplish it. LOL I love the quilting

programs on the TV when I can find them. They seem to be very elusive. Hugs,

Cam p.s. your signature quilt sounds fabulous. What an heirloom!!

Hi Camilla. The quilt I am making now is for my neices graduation party

saturday (yes, I'm almost done!). Its called a signature quilt and it's just

white blocks alternated with pretty red fabric blocks. Then it has a thinner

red border and a large white border. I just take some fabric pens with me and

people at her party can sign the quilt for her on the white blocks. It's a nice

memory for the graduate. that's only one of 4 I am working on right now but

it's taking priority at this point! Can you understand why!! haha. I have not

yet attempted a bargello. You are braver than I!

good morning all

Hello all. I'm up early this morning. Won't complain, just hurting and

twitchin' waiting for my percocet to kick in this morning. Once that does, I

will be fine but wide awake by then! ugh. That's the main problem. If I get up

in the middle of the night with pain, take my meds, by the time they kick in,

I'm awake and cannot go back to sleep. Then I'm tired at 10am. Geesh, who said

they weren't going to complain. So, I lied! sue me.

Once again, good morning all!!!! Think I will go quilt.

Margaret,

Mom to the monsters
