Siinging again

And speaking of concerts, tonight it's Brad Paisley, Chris Young and Lee Brice. Can't think of a sexier line up. (Unless Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, George Strait, and Toby Keith were to tour together.)

And they aren't just eye-candy. They have all got some serious vocal/musical talents. But sometimes you just have to step back and enjoy the view ... :)

Sigh ...

They're BAAaack! (and QUIILTED!)

As some have seen via Twitter or FaceBook, I've got some of my quilts back - QUILTED! My next step (and next to last step to being finished) is labeling them. Part of labeling is naming. And for that, I need help. Take a look and let me know in the comments what comes to mind for names.

The pictures were taken by the Maine end of the quilt assembly and finishing crew. A couple of them were photographed in a manner other than right side up. :)

Quilt #1

pattern used: Magic Tiles
Current thoughts for a name:
Fractured Funny Farm
if you can't tell that the fabrics have sheep, pigs, and cows on them, check out the pillow cases made of the same fabrics here

Quilt #2

pattern used: Bento Box
Current thoughts for a name:
Ch-ch-changes
Boxing Day

Quilt #3

no pattern used
Current thoughts for a name:
Midnight on the Big Island
Hawaiian Nights
Hawaiian Mosaic
Loc-tite Luau

Quilt #4

the right side is actually the top of the quilt - it was probably easier to hang this way
pattern used: 21 Strip Salute
Current thoughts for a name:
I got nothin'. I've been calling it by the pattern name "21 Strip Salute" ... I think I'd like something different for it. I could call it "Almost Stolen" since it was practically kidnapped prior to being put into the box ... TWICE!!! And then, in California, again it's safety was in question when I was showing folks at the office. :) I could call it "Jail Time" 'cause that's what someone will get if they swipe it! (Temptation?)

Quilt #5

the quilt is hanging upside down - ooopps :)
pattern used: Quilt in a Day Flying Geese book
Current thoughts for a name:
iSpotted Geese
Flying South
Going My Way

Quilt #6

pattern used: Elongated Diamonds
Current thoughts for a name:
Diamond Jubilee
A Giirl's Best Friend

Any suggestions for any of them? Leave me a comment and let me know. I'll be sure to post the final decisions.

(I've got other "almost finished" quilts that need labels and names. I'll do this again when I get around to getting pictures of them.)

On a Wiing and a Prayer

Just heard from the shipper (aka Mom) for my quilter (aka Andrea the Sister-Unit). I have 6 (SIX) completed quilts winging their way to me via UPS. All I have to do when they arrive is label 'em (Mom squares and binds for ice cream, fat quarters, and binding scraps).

I can't wait!

They will be coming to the office and should arrive Tues/Wed. I've been reassured that a favorite of theirs has actually made it INTO the box and didn't get "stuck" on someone's bed and miss it's flight. I've also heard that one we all like and find amusing wasn't appreciated in the boonies. No sense of humor those people. (And some are curious as to why I didn't move back to ME with M&A way back when.)

Got some GREAT photos from Mom yesterday of an eagle, turkey vulture, and possibly some hawks in her back yard. I'll try to get them posted in the next few days.

I'm so excited and can't wait to get my quilts!!

p.s. I just realized we shipped 6 quilts on 6-6 ... ominous? I don't think so ... :)

Biird's eye view

Playing with photos. Got a whole buncha stuff loaded onto Picassa.

Non-Quilt Sewing projects like pillows and pillow cases and bags.

Quilts - baby quilts, bed quilts, in-between quilts. :)

I think I've got almost every fabric project picture posted. I know I've got a few projects that I haven't taken pictures of yet. As soon as I do, they'll get pushed up.

Eventually I'll get some kind of caption or description on 'em. Well, as much as I can remember anyway.
