Well, I didn’t fall off the face of the earth! I have been so busy with my new job! It sure has been fun! I feel stupid all over again! I hate being in orientation. I feel so dumb. Anyways, I did get two quilts pieced……one is actually on the frame and I have absolutely no idea how to quilt it. That is because I don’t quilt much. My husband said “just do a pantograph on it!” It is too pretty to do that to it! When I have time, I will put a picture of it up. Happy quilting! Trish

Woo Hoo! I start my new job on Monday the 19th! I have been a pediatric RN in the ICU at Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin for 8 years. I am starting my new job in the Emergency room at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee. Back to adults! I have been an ICU nurse for 11 years and I need a change! So this will be totally different! Can’t wait!

So here is my paramount star picture of my blue and white quilt and what I am trying to figure out what to quilt on it. I want to do formal feathers in the blue squares (thats what that is in the top left hand corner!) It isn’t easy drawing in paint! I am trying to figure out which crosshatch to do in the blue triangle or the basket weave stencil in the right lower corner triangle (yes that’s what it is!) I was trying to upload a stencil picture to show you the stencil I was looking at but that wasn’t working….oh well. By the time I get figured out what I want done on this thing I’ll be too old to quilt it! I should just send it out to a really talented longarm quilter! All I am doing is procrastinating! Happy quilting Trish

Wow, another quilt shop is closing here in Southeastern Wisconsin. Calico Canvas and Colors has announced they are closing shop. Retiring! They said there have been four quilt shops in southeastern WI that have closed this last year or past winter. Wow. A lot to do with internet sales. Not as many people buying in the quilt shop. Now that confuses me. Why would I want to pay the same price for fabric and pay an additional shipping charge on top of that? I like to feel and play with them lay the fabrics next to each other. The computer never does the colors justice! We don’t have many quilt shops left here in WI! I am going to have to move! Although, I don’t think my husband would like that very much! he-he . So of course I had to do some serious shopping and buy backing fabric for all of the quilts I have in progress! $300+ later! The whole store is 20% off! How fun is that! I keep telling myself to just buy what I need right now because I have to buy backing and you know how much at a time you have to buy for that. Anyways, happy quilting.
