I Goofed...

I got up super early this morning so that I could do some machine quilting. I had no more than got started when Richard needed to plug up his welder. See...my machine is upstairs in the house and we don't have electric in there yet so I have to run his big cord up there, but he needed to finish his trailer because he needs to use it. So I'm going to try to finish it up in the morning. It is hard having to share the electric cord. :(

After cleaning the house I sewed some star blocks. I noticed that I messed it up a little bit but I'm not going to change it now. I have all 25 of my churn dash blocks finished and I had planned on doing the centers beige, not sure how I ended up doing them ALL navy! Oh well life goes on, it just changes the whole look of the quilt but that is okay because I am not changing them now!

I don't have them sewn together they are just laying there. I still have several more navy star blocks to do but you can get an idea of how it is going to look. Tomorrow is actually Hunter's birthday! So tomorrow will be spent with lots of "Hunter time" It's hard to believe that my baby will be 9 years old.

Before I go I have a little "funny" to tell you. As you know we had Hunter's birthday part last Saturday evening but we also had a wedding to go to earlier that day so it was a very busy day for us. Now most times when I am home and not going anywhere my hair is up in a ponytail and no makeup. So I was in the bathroom and had just fixed my hair and was finishing my makeup when Hunter popped in and said "Mommy you look beautiful"

I know it is sad that he doesn't see me fixed up more often but I am still far from BEAUTIFUL. LOL! He went into the living room where Richard was and I heard him say "Daddy, when mommy comes in here you need to tell her how pretty that she looks" LOL! So when I did walk into the living room Richard was being silly and whistled. Now here is the funny part...

I was standing there putting my jewelry on and Hunter walked up to me and it went like this....

Hunter: "Excuse me, are you from Tennessee?"

Me: "What?"

Hunter: "I was just wondering because you are the only TEN that I SEE!"

LOL! Now is that a line or what?????? We all had a good laugh!!!

Happy birthday to Hunter! Tell DH to stop teaching him those lines, he will be using them on all the girls! I LOVE your quilt - funny how sometimes "mistakes" are a blessing in disguise - though I'm sure it would be great with the cream centers too.

the quilt is adorable, I have the die to cut the star and am loving seeing 2nd blocks that go good together.
this is such a good age to enjoy the kiddos.
I told Tyler (age 8) that I taped the 2nd episode of spongebob, it is one of the originals- he said- wow is it in black and white?-

That is just the sweetest story! I never had any boys, just three girls.

I'm enjoying your posts, especially your quilts; I'm a quilter too and it makes me happy to know when a young woman loves to make something so beautiful. So I'll be coming back to stay up with your progress.

What a cutie, and what a line!! I will have to tell that one to my two single sons, ages 22 and 26. They will get a kick out of it. They sometimes try to come up with lines to top each other--not that they would ever really use them.
Quilt it looking great. I like what the dark centers do to the pattern. It makes a chain-like pattern.
