Here are pictures from last week's finished projects.

On to this week's projects.

There is a reason the pattern says, "Read instructions before beginning a project." 

I had a vision of a zigzag quilt from a jelly roll, with no triangles.  I searched the internet and found http://www.unitednotions.com/fp_bella-solids-zz.pdf.  I had pairs of strips sewn together thinking this will be so easy. 

Well I don't have a zigzag quilt.  Thank goodness I have a stash of quilt books.  I found another pattern in Simplify with Camille Roskelley to use the strips.  I have a new vision - improv.

We had gymnastics in Spearfish this weekend.  I don't know how to take pictures off the ipad and download to the blog.  Pictures to come.

A finished project or two

I have a FO - finished object. 

I finished a baby quilt top with pinwheels.  It was a charm pack I purchased I don't know how many years ago.  I joined the blocks, then added prairie points and a border. 

Then I finished an X-bag purse - a pattern I bought approximately 5 years ago. 

I don't have pictures to post yet, but I promise I finished two projects at the quilt retreat in Cody this past weekend.  Friends and Co Quilt Shop (http://friendsandco.net/shop/) hosted a quilt retreat.  I was lucky enough to attend with a quilting friend.  We made new friends and we were invited back - score, Score, SCORE.  Please visit the website and click on the "Benjamin Smiles" tab. 

Come to think of it, I also finished two travel pillowcases.  Visit the website to make one for yourself.  Vicki is an awesome lady.


This evening T and I went to dinner at UP IN SMOKE (http://upinsmokebuffalowy.com/Home.html)

with friends and co-workers.  Monday nights Chef Sam prepares a special menu.  Tonight was an Italian menu:  fettuccine, lasagna, tiramisu.  OMGG (oh my goodness gracious) that was the best meal I have eaten this year. 

I promise I will post pictures soon to prove I have FOs.
