Hi!

Got several strips cut out today for my 4 patch quilts - I'm kind of making them in bulk. Right now I have several different layouts planned and am going to work on it.

I was gone for most of the day, so didn't really get a lot done.

Hi!

Today was my Dad's birthday. It was a fairly good day, but again didn't really get a lot of quilting done. Less then yesterday even. I have a goal to get some done tomorrow though.

For my Dad's birthday(he is 62) I gave him a lap quilt. I'll try to get it from him again and take pictures tomorrow though. I should have several pictures over the next few days!

Hi!

Not a lot to report today, as I was helping with Llamas and we had people over. I helped catch 12 Llamas for the vet today - my neighbor has them. I get the wool from them, something I really appreciate it, as I can't afford to buy wool.

Llama fiber might not be the easiest fiber to work with, but at the same time it's what I have. And I work at using what I have!

On the quilting front, I didn't get a lot of binding done on the 2 quilts, but am going to work on it more tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Goals and etc

Hi!

I now have a goal with this blog. I am going to post every day. Since August 25th, I have been keeping a written private journal, and have not missed writing in it. I want to do this on this blog as well, but mostly pertaining to quilting and also to improve my skills as a writer.

This summer, I've had a lot going on, and quite a bit on my plate. In July, I went to Virginia for a week. It was a youth conference that my church hosted. It was at the College that I want to go to. The college is called Southern Virginia University, and my goal now is to apply for August of 2012.

So, I've been busy doing a lot of schoolwork, and until the end of September(I'm 16 now by the way) I haven't done anything other then move my sewing room, quilting or machine wise.

Starting in September though, I was able to piece 3 quilt tops(all very simple) and finally get the binding on a quilt I've had in process for over a year. Two of the three Quilt Tops are now quilting, one is bound and one is in the process, as is the other one.

Right now I am working on my Round Robin Quilt, I'm going to try getting it basted and ready to start quilting soon. I am also in the process of several more lap quilts with 4 patches. Busy, but a lot of fun!

More Tomorrow!
