Let's Try This Again!

I seem to be a terrible blogger, but I'm going to try and do a better job at this.  I envy those that post daily.  I will try to do daily, but I'll be happy with once a week.  I'm going to use Bonnie Hunter as my inspiration and use this blog as my quilting journal.  It's really just a conversation and I have to keep that in mind when writing it.  I have a bad habit of over thinking what I write and what I want to say.  The best plan is just to write what I'm thinking and be done with it.  I will obsess over an email at work and go over and over it until I get it right.  I have spent half a day just on one email.

I own the online quilt shops PT Quilting (ptquilting.com) and Teresa's Quilt Boutique(teresasquiltboutique.com).  I also have a day job.  I have a wonderful husband, who is my best friend and soul mate.  I count myself very lucky because he allows me to indulge my passion of quilting. 

That's all for now.

Finishes

I've made some headway and have finished several quilt tops.  The quilt I call "Sunshine", I talked about it in the last post, has been quilted and I'm hand sewing the binding on.  Still waiting to be quilted is Comfort, and My Stars.  I got all my blocks made for the pineapple quilt.  I couldn't decide at first whether to put borders on it or not.  Finally made the decision this weekend, that it just would not look right without borders.  So I should have the borders on this week.  I've finished a couple of others that I haven't talked about here yet, they are small quilts and I'm just waiting to put the binding on them.  I have another one on my design wall that I work on in between quilting all my other finished tops.  I'll show them all to you tomorrow.  I haven't been good about writing posts regularly, so I thought I needed to at least give an update on what I've been doing.  I promise I'll post pictures tomorrow.  Happy quilting!
