In two days I have completed two more quilts. The plan was one a day but that was if I started on the first of November. Eight are now finished but that means there are still twenty-five to make. I better get down to business and make two or three a day or I will [...]
The plan for completing thirty-three quilts for the Christmas boxes at church seemed simple enough. Originally I planned to start working on the quilts in September but other things kept coming up. I decided that if I started on the first of November and make at least one quilt each day, except for Sunday, I [...]
Each year at Christmas our church gives Christmas boxes to families in the Quitman school area. Last year I told Donna, the organizer, that I would make quilts for each of the kids in the families that would be receiving boxes. For some reason I did not get quilts made last year, it was probably [...]
Got up at six forty-five this morning and after I finished Brian’s lunch I sat at the computer doing online searches and reading emails for a couple of hours. Then I decided that I would go back to bed since I had not had eight hours of sleep. I got in bed and was not [...]

Last night I cut several block with the X-block but was having trouble holding it with my arthritic fingers. I tried using the gripper that I have but it was too large and I had to keep taking it off and putting back on so that I could cut all four sides of the square. [...]
I was still awake this morning when it was time to get up and prepare Brian’s lunch. When I finished I was still not sleepy so I sat at the computer and read emails. I finally got back in back at seven thirty and was soon asleep. About two hours later the phone rang and [...]
Since I did not get up until noon and then had to do laundry and grocery shopping, the quilt pieces did not get cut for Isaiah’s quilt. Maybe Monday will be a better day. Did not get Ashley’s quilt finished either. All that is left to do it is to sew the front and back [...]
