counting crows

teetering tower of what was i thinking?!?

or...

what i did for FNSI...

tell me again whose bright idea this was?!? 

for the past few days i've been sewing the quarter of a gazillion stars into borders for six quilt tops ... last night i spread them out for measuring and found myself wondering when the floor moved so far away?!? ... then i ripped flannel, and sewed the backs together ... i WAS gonna cut the bindings and sew those together, but i'd had enough of flying flannel for one night so i watched Grimm instead of doing anything productive ... i guess i oughta get the batting together for that tower of doom, huh? i have enough for the three smallest tops, but the others will require twin-sized batts... 

hmmm ... batting and thread doesn't go on sale till Black Friday...

that's a legitimate excuse for ignoring them for a few days, innit?!?

seeing stars

i have never had much will power when it comes to fabric panels ... i'll buy a panel of just about anything ... i have panels stashed all over the house ... and when i sort through the Great Pile of Stuff, i almost always come across a panel or two...

or ten...

anywho  ... the last time i sorted way back in early spring i found six panels that have a similar theme which must remain unnamed onaccounta it's a secret ... and i knew that by christmas i would have six grandchildren ... i made some notes in my quilt journal and sketched out a border that might be okay for all of them ... and went to work making flying geese...

a few months ago i posted a picture of a gazillion flying geese ... and now those flying geese are a quarter of a gazillion stars...

how many?!?

seriously - i did the math!

hey ... when did it start being november?!? and how the hedoublehockeysticks am i gonna get six sumpins made by christmas?!?
