this is the quilt i designed and made for the 2012 Hop the River Shop Hop. i like the design part but not the writing the pattern part. it isn't a quilt i would make on my own, too traditional. i don't like plan too much when i am starting a quilt. usually i have a fabric i like and i just start putting things together as i sew. it seems to work for me. i made the next quilt for Quilts of Valor. just started sewing blocks together and this is what i came up with. i like it, that's what matters. for more information on making quilts for Quilts of Valor go to qovf.org that's enough for today. rex is my quilt rack. </div>

i couldn't believe what i heard. a company that really takes care of their customers. go amazon. <br /><br />went to the okc winter quilt show. vendors were great, but as a fat, never satisfied american, i wanted more quilts. i heard through the grapevine that next year there will be more. <br /><br />i am going to finish the quilt guilds 2011 raffle quilt today. i want it off my back. this is almost the last thing i have to finish before i can start working on the things that really satisfy me. pam, my sometimes partner in crime, and i are clearing off our schedules. we have made a vow not to volunteer for anything this year. we got ourselves overwhelmed by saying yes to too many things. we are finishing the things we agreed to and not volunteering for anything in the future, for awhile. if i do get weak and say the "Y" word i will lie and not tell pam. she will get the royal duct tape out and use it on me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVqCFpHSUYSPDIKIasarC2txxKC80kLOXFhejex2f4bVKsKOb28vliQ_VH73Vae0AhOTqqMJ6kAK_0Heue9x6ar70RXME_rxEGTxrajzvwYtzwKHyTUEEXJdCOb4w284rrYuzRNTKPE10y/s1600-h/100_0408.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVqCFpHSUYSPDIKIasarC2txxKC80kLOXFhejex2f4bVKsKOb28vliQ_VH73Vae0AhOTqqMJ6kAK_0Heue9x6ar70RXME_rxEGTxrajzvwYtzwKHyTUEEXJdCOb4w284rrYuzRNTKPE10y/s400/100_0408.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430290710071819362" /></a> <br /><br />i took this picture of koty the other morning before he got on the school bus. what a sweet boy and beautiful sunrise. oklahoma has the most wonderful sunsets and sunrises. someone told me it was from the wind blowing all the red dirt in the air. whatever it is, it works. i love OK. check out the date on the picture. who knows?c.c.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17405499398062661099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754376639493880006.post-40219199146596046902010-01-23T05:06:00.001-08:002010-01-24T05:12:44.215-08:00WANTED HAVE YOU SEEN THESE CHARACTERS?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2upZcwXEH8tK4kefcQheg7mIAFFElHG-cXhEzNZI8VIyZ6IH4-bRW6MvIP9t1DSHDfwoaA9YMw4m50JWXGEdd9UuDJnUymNjQ9tXAKt2O3xEGM0iqsCUoXupgqMuzsNIy3eknDsFnDN1N/s1600-h/river+%26+koty+wanted018.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 102px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2upZcwXEH8tK4kefcQheg7mIAFFElHG-cXhEzNZI8VIyZ6IH4-bRW6MvIP9t1DSHDfwoaA9YMw4m50JWXGEdd9UuDJnUymNjQ9tXAKt2O3xEGM0iqsCUoXupgqMuzsNIy3eknDsFnDN1N/s400/river+%26+koty+wanted018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429923749131855490" /></a><br />took river and koty to see avatar last sunday. LOVED IT! good grief it cost $27 dollars for an adult and two children under 12 at the early show. you had to pay extra for the 3D glasses. i guess it was worth it the 3D was subtle but effective. they didn't even ask to go to the snack bar during the show. it was almost 3 hours long. <br /><br />i took them to a regular restaurant so we could practice our manners. no burping or acting crazy, like we do at home. i still have the record for the loudest burp. they will never top me.<br /><br />we had to wait almost an hour for the show to start, so we went to the book store and koty bought a comic book, river didn't want one, but of course, when we got back to the show he wanted one. kids. then they decided they wanted to get their pictures made, then they wanted to get in the wind machine. $2 to get wind in your face, crap they could of stepped outside for that for FREE! kids.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCqquYSFQB7ovZ2hg76myAQn_0UilXUlM0Plc4bulBguOmf3hzcZCUud-oYBPjZXqFKqZbnWQshPHqxGZuqf3JaDeSFBCGiETgT4ttjIzNGXh32cBL1kYUrNMi2uDhsnCx-FP0uVxuJo8w/s1600-h/100_0406.JPG"><img style="display:block;
