Happy St. Patrick's Day, and I'm a guest on Stash Manicure!!!



Good morning everyone!!

It's 7:10 am and I just got in the door from work.

I just finished a 12 hour midnight shift,

and I'm off for the weekend.

YEAH!!!!!

I worked 7, 12 hour night shift in the last week and a half.

If you have ever worked night shifts, you know that your brain takes a holiday during that time. LOL!!!

I always worry that I've forgotten something important that I was suppose to do.

Oh well!!!

My hat goes off to anyone out there who works nights.

They are tough on the body.

I'm guest posting at http://stashmanicure.blogspot.com/ today.

So hop on over there and leave me a comment telling me what you think.

I put up a little tutorial.

Nothing fancy!!

Well, I did get some work done on my hexagon star quilt.

For the March UFO challenge, project #1 was selected.

And that's to finish my hexagon star quilt top.

So, right now I have 9 rows all sewn together.

Two more rows done, but need to be attached to the main piece.

I ran out of cut fabric, and I'm making this quilt the old fashion way.

I'm using a cardboard template and cutting all my fabric by hand with scissors.

It's not a fast process.

But it's a relaxing process.

I love that!!!

I needed to cut fabric for another 68 stars.

Just a few.......

LOL!!!

So, I got 34 cut and I started hand sewing some of the stars.

I have 14 done.

I'm not sure I'll finish the top this month, but I will try my best.

Wish me luck!!!

And since it's St. Patrick's day,

I should be very lucky.

I just need to find that four leaf clover.......

Hugs

My mini raw edge circle quilt top done!!!

Okay!!

This will be a short post, because I have to get to bed.

So, I finished this little quilt top tonight.

I hope to quilt it tomorrow night,

and hand it in on Wednesday.

Do you think I can make it?

We will see.

I hope they like this.

There are not a lot of quilters that use modern fabrics in my guild.

 I think that some would if it was more available in our area.

I think this would make a cute little quilt for a little girl to play with.

She could use it for her dolls, or just as a security blanket.

On another note, I was featured on Stash Manicure today.

Yeah!!!!

I was a plan B guest blogger.

I had volunteered to write a post,

in case something happened and one of the other guest bloggers couldn't post.

And today was the day.

So go check it out.

Well, that's all for today.

Hugs
