Memorial Day

Did you know that not just the men and women that gave their lives for our freedom should be remembered today!  The men and women that give their time, energy, and talents to keep our country free should also be remembered today!  They don,t have to be dead to be remembered and thanked for their service.  Thank a service person today.
On a lighter note, I have finally started to put a binding on my quilt.  It is giving me fits.  If anyone has any tips out there I for one would be happy to hear them.  I have never done this before and I am not having a good time at this.
Well thats all for now.  I will have pictures when I finish this darned quilt, and I will have a new project that I am working on.  It involves not just quilting but also painting (another one of the projects I love to do). More later.

I am still learning

I am still learning how this new computer works and I am not sure I will ever really like it but,  seeing as I have no choice in the matter I WILL learn all of its quirks.  Boy does that sound determined or what.  I started hand quilting my quilt last night.  This is going to take many a night watching tv with my DH.  At least we will be watching the same thing.
Speaking of which Syracuse lost last night in march madness.  I am a fan,  mostly because they are from NY.  Well maybe next year....
I also started a new baby quilt yesterday,  or I should say my embroidery machine started 8 squares for the new baby quilt yesterday. And, I also did the label.  It is going to be very pretty and as the baby is a girl that is alright.
Well I better get going and start the afternoon.

Here I come!!!

I have wanted to start a blog for some time to try and keep track of my life and what is going on in it.  So....  here I come.   Living with nerve pain constantly is no fun, but that is what I have.  By keeping this blog I hope to be able to share what I do in spite of the pain.  I have always wanted to be able to do a quilt completely by hand,  so I am working on an old (and I mean old) Joann's BOM.  In fact it is from 2000.  I hope to have pictures posted in the coming weeks.
