Hello Again!

I have been missing in action for quite awhile.  Had a 'little' life crisis in 2009, see my profile for the short story.  But I'm going to try and revive my blog.  I plan to use this as my stimulus to get some  quilting UFO's finished up, some of my soapbox rantings, and an outlet to the need to share my joy.  So, being said; today I need to make a back for the Pine Tree Quilt top I will quilt on the 29th at my friend's quilt store.  I also want to add a larger border to the top, and lucky for me I think I've got enough matching fabric left to
accomplish this. 
   Currently I have been cutting from my very packed scrap bins for a couple of patterns that have sparked my scrappy interest.  I have come to the conclusion that I really do love working on scrappy quilts the best... I have more yardage than I'll be able to sew in two lifetimes, but that will allow me to make backs for all the tops I have yet to quilt, and stash to pay it forward when the need arises.  I won't say that I'll never purchase more fabric, because that just won't test true!  But I will be wiser in how much I purchase. Okay, I am going to go and search for my camera to snap a photo or two to post and keep myself on a forward path to finishing that massive UFO list of mine!
