Count too 1 Million!

The idea is that we count to a million, writing out the word(s), one post at a time. So, in the end, this thread has one million posts. With each post, write something interesting, Silly or fun.  Doesnt have to be long... Just different!

Ill Start

ONE!

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

What is your favorite technique?

At one of the retreats I went to, we went around the room and showed our favorite technique that made our quilting easier to do or more accurate. I learned a great deal with some of the simplest things and still use them. This maybe hard to do with writing instead of seeing it, but I thought I would give it a try. If I'm not clear, please comment so everyone can understand.

Updated my UFO List

in

I decided that I should make a list, so I don't get more projects when I go to the quilt shops.

I listed them with Projects in planning, Have Material only, work in progress, need to make label, basting the quilt, hand or machine quilting.

This way I know where I am in all my projects. This makes things clearer for me.

I have 25 projects that are all at different stages. Some in need some material for, and then others need to quilt. A very interesting list. Hopefully it will keep me on track.

The Farmer's Wife (progress thus far)

Here are the blocks so far from the Farmer's Wife quilt book.  We meet once a month, and do four blocks in class, (or finish them at home if we don't finish in class) and then we get bonus block homework.  All the bright green and blue labels are the names of the blocks, it will make it easier when I go to place them, to have the names.  I think the book has over 100 blocks.   We are only half way through the class.  I am trying to do shades of blue and white fabric.  The overall theme of the fabric is stars, although some of the fabrics are just a ma

This is the 'main' quilt pattern.

 This quilt has wool batting & was quilted by my local quilt shop. I bought a bed skirt in the tan color & it matches the quilt 'tan' perfectly. I was lucky. Also, made some matching pillows that aren't pictured here but use several of the same quilt fabrics.

Dogs love quilts & having a pillow too!

Hi to everyone! I've been busy with making quilts & accessories for "Pampered Pet Quilts", my small business to make a bit of income & cover my supply costs at a minimum! The good news is that I'll have a great store location starting the 15th, in a town that is high-end and where there are lots of animal lovers. I hope this will be real positive for sales & to become known for making these 'custom' pet items.

QFK quilt front

Here are some of the things I have been working on.

The quilt is a Downy Quilts for Kids. They send you a precut kit free and you supply the batting and thread. The backing they sent makes the quilt reversible. The finished quilts go to critically ill children in hospitals around the U.S.

The second quilt was a Mystery Quilt I got online. A friend named it Sherbet surprise.

Baby quilt for my niece's baby-August

So much going on.....three quilts for Andrews friends, one for my niece's baby, one for her brothers baby, and the other sibling is getting married in August....My brother has a one two punch this year! And Betty's son graduated and will be going to Valpo, Christian college here in Indiana. Big party at her house. Started a new med that is really helping with the Fibro. But the disc is still very painful. I can barely move because of it. Jim is working making doors for a company that provides for Lowe's. Not much pay but it's a job. Mena Arkansa didn't pan out. He continues to look.

Hi Girls,

It's a long time ago that I was here. But we have very busy months. At first we had our party for our 25 years of marriage. But I also have flue. This is the thirth week. It goes better now, but I'm still dizzy. I have sinusitus and sinus inflammation. And that causes that I'm dizzy. I hope I feel well soon. When I'm well you will see me more often. I have some pictures of the party from last saturday.
