Blog Woes!

Okay, so I started this blog, and now I don't know what to do!  LOL

I need to find a help book on blogging.  I can't seem to make it pretty like you all do!  I wanna be able to link your stuff back to my page?!  How in the heck is that done?  I haven't done much sewing, because of an incident with a customer last week.  And now things are going to pretty much be on hold until after my move.  We are moving to Florida.  I will have to get packing, and that's not going to be fun at all.  I guess I'll keep reading up on making my blog more "pretty" looking!  ;-)

Wilton Cake Class

My final cake for my Wilton Cake Class.  I took this class in December, and had a blast, it's working with Fondant.  I took it because a friend wants me to help him bake a cake for a friend of his' wedding in February.  I loved the way my final cake turned out, and can't wait to see how the wedding cake will turn out. 

My Goodness have I slacked off on my blog. It's time to get cracking and updating you all with everything that is going on. Let me get some more coffee and send hubby off to work. This week he has to work from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thats a bummer, b/c it leaves him little time to spend with us, but hopefully I can get some stuff done around the house too! I'll be back in a little bit with picture's and stories.

Well, I've been down for about a week due to severe flu bug that bit our family and my children decided to share their germs with mommy. I have been without a voice for 3 days now, and I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing! LOL. I subscribe to a newsletter called, Konstantin Quilted Paradise, and they had a quilting discussion and someone posted a link on Tube Quilting. I looked at it, and thought it was amazing. It looked super easy, and fun. So today I tried it! I like it, I like the way the instructions were given, I like how easy it was to put together, but... there is always a but, I think my fabrics are WAY TO BUSY! LOL. My husband likes it, and he said that it looks nice in a busy way! Whatever that means! Anyhow... here are some pictures of it, it's not quilted or bound yet, hopefully I'll do that tomorrow. But for now, hope you enjoy. Oh, and I'll post the link for the Tube Quilting as well. Just in case you wanna try it out! ;-)

Here are my pictures:

Another quilt I started was a Mystery Quilt from one of my yahoo groups. We had a weekend to do it, but I was not able to participate that weekend, so I just made the top after the fact. I will send this one out to get professionally quilted. I can't wait to send it off to Kathleen. I just need to get batting and backing for it.

This and That

Well, I finally finished my bears quilt! I was so excited to get it done. It was supposed to be something done in one weekend, but it turned out to take me 3 weeks. But my friend Ryan received the quilt yesterday, and he said it was beautiful. He will deliver it to his dad today. Hopefully his dad thinks the same. Here is a picture of the Chicago Bears Quilt.
