Quiltathon Progress Update #2

I made more progress on Fall Back in Time after my initial post yesterday, but didn't get to submit an update. I finished Steps 2 and 3. Took a little break and cut a bunch of background squares to make more HSTs for Heritage. Then hubby came home so I had to stop.

Today hasn't been nearly as productive since I had to do some house chore type things, but I did get the top made. The pattern is Keyholes from Anka Treasures' (Heather Mulder Peterson) On A Roll Again book. The pattern calls for two borders but I'm not really sure what colors to use. I don't have any yardage of this fabric line. If you have any suggestions, please post a comment.

If you read my blog, you know that last week I was going to hang a curtain rod in front of my table to hang my quilts. In order to move the table, I had to take several boxes of fabric out from under the table. I didn't put them back "just in case" hubby decides to drill the holes. Riley seems to like this empty space....he has taken up residence there when I'm sewing.


Here are our naughty little goats. When they're not eating leaves or grass, they like to hang out on our porch. Normally Roxie is the one who sleeps on my bench, but yesterday Buddy decided he likes it. Buddy has been pretty naughty this weekend....he keeps putting his feet up on the door or siding to try and look in the house.
So Roxie laid on the doormat which hubby had moved away from the door.
I've procrastinated long enough and now I'm off to work on quilting Snow Wonderland. I really need to practice quilting more but I have so many tops that need to be quilted so I don't take the time to practice. I'm so worried about ruining the quilt that I worked so hard to make. So then I procrastinate and the tops keep adding up. I just need to realize that they're not going to be perfect and like on the Nike commercials....JUST DO IT!!! So that's what I'm going to do! I'll let you know how it goes later.

Update: So much for that idea. I guess the bobbin thread wasn't the problem because the Voyager still isn't working. :0( I guess I will need to call Hinterberg this week. In the meantime I'm gonna check out the Hinterberg groups archives.

LOL - I can't tell you how many times Jezebel has gotten in the same position at my house! And I've taken pictures that invariably get my knees in them, too. They love being by mom, don't they?
