New Crazy Quilt Samples (Mmmmm Chocolate!)

Busy busy Becky...My chocolate box quilt is really purdy. Thanks to Margeret for suggesting it! The pillow is for my landlord and the elegant brown, gold, teal was inspired by Pat Enos whom I sat behind at the Kingdom Hall one night.

Cheyenne Mountain State Park (one dangerous place!)

The Knitting blog

After a short hiatus I am knitting again. Working on Cable Luxe Tunic #2 only this time it's a cardigan in pumpkin spice colored acrylic.

And the hat. another doofy hat. This time for Barb the Brat out in Washington State... Barb I know you missed this statement so let me say it again..."Working on a doofy hat in the darkest blue for my dancing buddy, Babs (I love you smookums xoxoxoxoxxo no it's not for Warrin... it never was... it was always for you you you)"

Third Post of the Week (Woot)

Yep...I'm thinking the "eating of the pictures" was definitely a happy accident. Behold...day three of the catch up blog!

First picture is the extra blocks from the sample making. Second picture is the kit inspired by Leslie's fabrics and trims. She got to see them in person yesterday at knitting. They are beautimus!

Head on over to Mommycity.com to see my Cheyenne Mountain State Park pics and video.

More than One way to Skin a Cat

I decided the Eating-of-pictures that occurred Monday might actually be a blessing in that I now have several days worth of posts I can do by re-posting two pics at a time. (Of course I am assuming the pictures will actually show this time, which I won't know until I click the publish button)

So anyways..........the fabric bundles are the purple/silver I cut for my 2009 color forcast line and the blocks are the ones inspired by my friend Pat Enos.

I went hiking in Palmer Park with Vickie Coletta yesterday. I left the camera sitting on my cutting table after showing her my work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! We are planning on hiking quite a bit this spring/summer so I hope I'll have pics next time.

I am NOT a slacker (I just play one on the Internet)

Yo people! Lest you think I have been slacking off in my absence from posting and other online activities THINK AGAIN!


Here's a short list of what I have been doing...I will try to name the pictures in order.

#1) Working on Leslie's Ravens and Roses Moley for the IME. Not working on the hat as I don't "knit hats for sailors for Lent":P

#2) I cut purple and yellow for art quilts

#3) I cut purple and silver/gray after an extensive search told me these will be hot colors for 2009

#4) Sewed blocks inspired by a friend's outfit. She better not sit in front of me again wearing it. I might cut it right off her back >:)

#5) Gathering all extra blocks sewn from remainders of my kit samples for possible sale at quilt guild or on etsy.com

#6) Working on the Celtic Autumn kit sample inspired by the trims and fabrics from Leslie

#7) Knitting on my Cable Luxe Tunic

#8) Working on a doofy hat in the darkest blue for my dancing buddy, Babs (I love you smookums xoxoxoxoxxo no it's not for Warrin... it never was... it was always for you you you)

Well I tried this twice. I have no clue where the last 6 pictures went. I guess blogger ate them. Maybe another time or maybe I'll follow Christina's lead and find somewhere else to blog

Crazy Crack Head Friends and Crazy Quilts don't mix

The visit with Kathee started off good. It ended badly but that's another story. I tried to teach her to crazy quilt. I don't know if it will get through or if she even cares...oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Jack wants to know if I have any more weird friends hiding in my past that could possibly show up. I told him I don't think so but hey, you just never know.

I have a friend coming to stay with me for a couple of weeks. Her name is Kathee and she is creative and funny and I hope things go well. Look for pics and updates!

(Now I'm off to disassemble my sewing room to move the twin bed in here. I can't move everything out because I am working on some new samples. MUST SEW FASTER!!!)

Our Second El Paso County Craft Day

If you're not attending the El Paso County Craft Day you are MISSING OUT!!! We had a great time again. Friends, food, crochet, knitting, embroidery lessons, journaling...you name it we did it. The next one is April 4 at the Steson Hill Sub Station on Tutt Blvd. Be there or be square!

Details of Matt and Sarah's Wedding Quilt

Here are some close up shots of Matt and Sarah's quilt. You will be pleased to know I did indeed get it in the mail to Tennessee yesterday. Yay me!

Newest Crazy Quilts

I love it when a plan comes together I really do! Behold two of my newest crazy quilts (I have two more done but they need tweaked before unveiling). The blue/teal one is for my nephew's wedding next week (EEEEK! I better get that mailed!) and the second could be for a wedding...any wedding, anniversary or just a kicking gift anytime. It's made from my ecru/gold/nuetrals/whatever kit. http://crazyrebecca.etsy.com

I Got me One wEiRd headache

For the past couple of days I have been suffering one of the strangest headaches I have ever had. It's a sharp stabbing pain somewhat behind/above my right ear every 15 to 30 seconds. I just don't get it. Various pain killers only work for a little bit and then it's back. Very distracting. In fact I have been in bed most of today. I got rid of it during our first El Paso Co Craft Day yesterday but it came back with a vengeance last night right before bed. So very weird, so very strange. I do hope it goes away soon.
