Nearly Insane Block 2

Finally I get some computer time! Between the boys being home and Richard starting in college, I can't get near the computer because one of them are always on it! :) The boys haven't been to school since before Christmas! They were supposed to go back on the 4th but we have had some bad weather so school has been cancelled. I called the school hotline a few minutes ago and they have cancelled it for tomorrow too.

Anyway.....we moved my frame into the house that we are in right now! We did this Sunday, well actually Richard and Todd, a good friend of the family did! :) That thing is very heavy! No picture this....where I live now is about 1000 sq ft. and it is very cramped as it is, now I have the big 12 ft frame in my living room. We had to move out the chair, coffee table and one end table! Trust me, it look very odd and thank goodness we don't have a lot of company but at least I can get my customer quilts finished. Then in the spring, we will move it back out in the new house again. I will post some photos in a few days of it.
Not really any quilting for me this week still trying to get my house back in order! I started quilting again on the customer quilt that I have on the frame and kept breaking thread! :( I got really irked! I figure the frame needs leveling and stuff so I will try that again maybe tonight! Really need to get these finished!
I've shown this photo before, but it is block TWO of the Nearly Insane quilt. I started this a year or so ago. I joined one group that we were doing one block a week but I fell behind and now they should be finished with theirs sometime this year! :( I really wish that I had kept up with that group of ladies! Anyway, I read a post on Tazzie's blog where she was starting this quilt and wanted some people to join along, so I jumped on the chance! I'm hoping that I can get these blocks done sometime before I croak!! :)
Tazzie made a blog just for these blocks! So if you want to join along let her know and she can add your name to the blog so that you can post your blocks too. Now I have 16 or 17 of these blocks finished, I didn't do them in any certain order, just picked a block and did it. I did post my Block 2 on the blog. You can check it out here! I will also add it to my sidebar.
Got to go, they are running me off the computer again! :)
