The long last Dear Jane project…

Well, I received a comment yesterday on my Dear Jane Blog…which I kinda forgot about–the blog and the project….I decided to rekindle that project and doing so I moved my Dear Jane Blog to here:

I plan to update it more often and actually sew a block or two this week.  Even pulled out the fabrics this morning.

Have you visited my friends lately?  Check out the links on the left, everyone has been busy.  Anjea just whipped out a queen size quilt (yes, whipped it out!), Kristie has been busy with her Civil War Diaries blocks again, Cheryl has been doing more postcards, Cheri has been doing some fungle blocks for charity, Betsy is doing more pot holders, Cindy is making cute bags and bunnies, Karol-Ann’s pie just looks sooo scrumptious, Paula has been to a sculpture event, Verry Sherry has cute pictures of her girls “taking a bath”……

whew….everyone has been busy this summer….

Toni’s Home Shopping Network

is back up with lots of new items. More to come I’m sure, I so plan to have my sewing studio set up and working by end of December and MUST get this extra stuff out of my house! Though I have held back a bin to give MMO (manic monday offerings) out for several months into 2008.

Check out what I have to sell: http://www.thequiltingpirate.com/thsn.html

I also put up a feather weight and lots of embroidery design cds on ebay if any one is interested in that kinda of stuff: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmommie007

Whew, I’m pooped…hope ya’l enjoy all the eye candy!

Monday Random Thoughts. . .

Bullet style listing – because it’s too early to go into deep details.

1. Finished a dear jane block!
2. Traded my Mega Quilter up for a 870Quilt Sapphire
3. October is Breast Cancer (and a few various other cancer) Awareness Month – you can still send 12.5 blocks to my shop for Quilt Pink until Oct 31st.
4. Ya know, I’m a idiot some days….drove all the way out to Chantilly on Sunday to see the Sewing Expo….only to realize it wasn’t happening on Sunday. (though ended up spending a beautiful day with friends in Ole Town Alexandra, VA).
5. Just noticed, this is my 101 post – WOW! That was easy to accomplish!
6. I’ve been tagged by Subee from Pieces of Time with this honor:

It’s a GOOD THING to make people smile; everyone should do it every day. Multiple times! There comes a stipulation tho, (isn’t there always?) that we do a meme using the letters of our name to describe ourselves.

T – Thoughtful
O – Outgoing
N – Nerdy
I – Ingenious

I’m not good at tagging others, but here’s a few blogs I truly enjoy reading daily (or as often as they can post
A Peach In Stitches
Nicki’s Ventures
Jonvaliquilts
Cindy’s Creations
Quilting Is My Passion

7. Manic Monday is coming up….stay tuned…
