I'd rather be quilting!

Well I have officially been bit by the quilting bug. I have been thinking about my next project since I finished my log cabin quilt. I’ve looked through books for designs and gone to the fabric stores. I really don’t want to spend the money that is necessary for the type of quilt I really want so will try to use up some of the fabric I have bought at garage sales last year. I have enough for a yellow baby quilt and a blue quilt that could be for a baby boy or as a blanket to take to meetings at the church since I am always cold in this rainy weather. This will help my skill level but doesn’t get me a finished product that I really want. But I must have self control and not let this new temptation take over.

I have also been forcing myself to do some things around the house instead of starting a new quilting project. I want to paint the back bathroom but before I can allow myself to do that I had to finish painting the front bathroom which I did yesterday. Then I had to go to Wal-Mart to get paint and primer and a spray bottle to spray the icky mildew with bleach or “30 seconds” which the lady at Wal-Mart says is actually 99.9% bleach. Meanwhile I am having trouble keeping the stupid flexible tubing on the dryer since I moved it to paint. I have duct taped it twice but we’ll have to see if it will stay.

Other things we’ve done over the past week include:

-Went to see the movie The end of the Sword in Battleground with Linda and Susie
-Teresa and I had to take a class on preventing child abuse and procedures for childcare workers so we could volunteer at church
-Chris’s worship team had their first time of leading worship. We had a lot of compliments and they were asked to do worship at a special conference in Feb.
-Had home group last night here (it hasn’t been here for over a month)
-Had lunch with mom and dad (aka Ruth and Larry)
-Hit a few pitiful garage sales.

Still to do:

-Class tonight for Chris and Jan. We have to present a teaching on the Joy of the Lord to be recorded and evaluated.
-Watch survivor tomorrow.
-Sewing at Linda’s on Saturday, (I get to start a new quilt!)
-Actually start painting the bathroom. Ugh!
