Bowling Quilters & I Got Mail

 

League summer bowling is now over with, and I must say we had a lot of fun.  I ran into two of my UHURU Quilters Guild buddies, who were also on the league, Antoinette Johnson and Renee Baccus.

 

 

Last night, who should show up at the bowling ally but another UHURU member Charlie.  She came to support her daughter who is also a member of the league.  I might have to bring up at the next meeting that we start a Quilting bowling league.  We can bowl and sew binding on our quilts.

 

To celebrate everyone’s birthday, we had this beautiful cake make by one of the members.  We also had a live band, that played while we bowled.  It was a lot of dancing to the music and little of bowling, but we did end the night with a lot of fun.  Now it is on to the Bowling Banquet, which will be on 31st August, with Larry Graham as our musical guess.

 

This is what came in the mail yesterday, the rest of my Rush Hour fabric, at $4.95 a yard.  I still have not received my white commuter fabric which I paid $10.00 year.  Oh well, at least I have enough to make what I plan with it.

I am off to the family reunion today and will be back on Monday to finish off some projects and start on a new one.

Have a great weekend.

Shopping for Fabric $4.95 On Line

 

I have been on line today shopping for a great deal on the Rush Hour fabric and Black Cat Crossing fabric for the up coming blog hops.  Now I really do not need the Rush Hour fabric for the hop, but want it any way.  I already have the Rush Hour Commuter Black and waiting for the white to come in.  I already have in mind what I am going to make with it and want to make sure I have enough, so I needed another piece of the fabric.  Found a great deal on Etsy Sew Today Fabric for $4.95 1/2 yard.  Had to jump on that right away.

I also know what I plan to do with the Black Cat Crossing fabric, I have a little time before I have to get it, so I am hoping that I will fine a great deal on that since I will not need too much of it.

I am still working on my second project for the first hope (See You In September).  I would have been finished, but had some house work that need to be done and took time out to hit the movies.

If you like James Brown’s music, then you will like the movie “Get On Up”.  It made you want to get out of sit and do the mash potato's and the camel walk.

Friday is the last night of bowling.  Yes most of you know I bowl in a summer league, I have not give you much insight on the league this summer but will have pictures later. 

I am also off to a Family Reunion this weekend, so will not have time to sew anything but a binding on the finish second project. 

Well, I have to go.  Do you know any great deals on fabric, let me know.

Computer Scams, Black Cat Hop

 

When I got home yesterday from work, I received a call from a Tech saying that he was from Microsoft Windows Service.  He was saying that they were getting reports that some issue were with my computer and they wanted to look into it and I needed to log into my computer for them to take a look.  Well, I was not born yesterday (although I am young).  Stop laughing.  I told him that I was running out of the house and would call him back.

I gave the Geek Squad a call who I use for all my computer problems and the Tech explain to me that usually these calls are scams, were they get excess to your computer and tell you there is something wrong and they will fix it but will cost you.  Sometime even putting things into your computer to make it not work right.  Thank you Geek Squad.  They check out my computer that was have some slow issues, and fixed it right away.  Everything is running smoothly now.  So watch out for the Computer Scams.

 

Madm Samm is at it again with Wendy of why-knot-kwilt  (what a great play on the words) as the cheerleader for this October Hop “Black Cat Crossing”.  The fabric is by Maywood Studio and it is not just bats, cats or spooky things in the night fabric.  Click on the side bar and check out the fabrics.  Madm Samm has a list of place that you can find the fabric.  I have a few other places you can also find the fabric – Fat Quart Shop, Fabric.com, Keepsakequilting.com and Fabric Depot, just to name a few.

If I keep joining hops, I might not be able to pay the light bill.  Fabric has gone up so high $9 to $10 a yard, and not just $9, but $9.95.  What is that all about. Well if you can’t afford to pay the piper, then stop following him/her around.   I still have money to burn, so I am following.

Hops motivate me to get out there and do my thing and also get me back on track with quilting and blogging.  LOVE IT, MISSED IT.  I am working on my second blog hop quilt as I type this blog.  Yes, I can do two things at one time, the computer is next to the sewing machine (sew a little, blog a little, and read a little).  Hey that is three things at one time.  I must be using a least 50% or my brain power instead of the usual 10%.  Have you seen the move LUCY, brain power is the thing, try to get out and see it or wait for the DVD.

Got to go
