Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little “C” Gone?

Well, believe it or not I got the quilting bug today.  I had such a bad night sleeping last night, something was going on with my legs all night, like it was crawling.  My girlfriend said it was most likely restless leg syndrome, which I have never had before, put it really kicked my butt.  I was so glad Tom was not home last night, because my legs just moved all over the bed and I did not sleep but half awake.  But believe it or not I was not as tired as I have been this week.

Last night I watch the BOM on Craftsy and since it was using the Drunkard’s Path Template (which of love to do), I thought I would work on the blocks.  I have the Marti Michell Templates, but I only could fine the B template and not the C.

During my weeks of Quilter/Blogger Blues, Tom has been cleaning, washing/ironing clothes.  He even went into my sewing room and “straighten” up (OH MY GOD!!!) why did he do that.  It is my mess and I know were everything is, now I have to go through everything he straighten and look for my “C” (which should have been with the “B” which could have when out somewhere with the “D”).  I am talking about the pie shape template.  After three hours of looking I still did not find it.  I do have other place to look for it, so after I finished this blog I will go on the hunt.

  My girl friend to this picture of me at the banquet last Friday.  When I saw the picture, I wanted to sing the Bette Midler song the Wind Beneath My Wings.  Boy-O-  Boy, I could fly away with those arms flapping around.  Note to Self.  Left some weights or a couple of cans of cream corn.

Well I am off to look for that missing “C”, if I do not find it my tomorrow I just have to use that template.

Quilt and Banquet

Before I get into my night at the Bowling Banquet, a couple of my followers would like to see the B&W Quilt that I finished.

This is the Wickedly Easy Quilt quilt and it is a free pattern.  As you can see I cannot seem to keep Ms. Jay off the bed or the quilt. Below is the quilt that was made in Nigeria all hand quilted.  I wish I could give you a real close up on the stitching.

 

As you know last night I went to my Bowling Banquet out at Martins Crosswind.  I will not boar you with a lot of pictures put you have to see these.  Our theme was Red Carpet – Hollywood.

And surprise, surprise, who was our guess artist this year?  Well we Picked Up the Pieces, we sang Cloudy, and we had School Boy Crush, do you know now who was there.  AWB (Average White Band).  We danced the night away, and after they signed t-shirts.

Above is my girlfriend Diane and to the right is Tracie with some of the band members for AWB.  This was my most favorite song that night.
