Apologies to all who were blocked from coming here for two hours while tripod decided that I was “over my limit.” uh huh. Not to be a stickler about this, but if they’re going to run a meter, how about taking into account the many hours when I got little or NO traffic and metering out the remainder of my daily bandwidth. Geesh. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do that sort of math and use technology to make it so.

On a better note – I had hoped to be sewing tonight but instead ended up ironing seams on my new quilt. Way too many seams to iron open. And while doing that I decided to go ahead and put in the small triangles of pinks, oranges and dark yellows. I think they’ll float in front of the whole thing. But that means quality time with a seam ripper tomorrow. Not painful in the way that ripping out mistakes can be, but all in all a good thing.

And speaking of seam rippers, my amish inspired top was right at eye level during all this ironing and man, all I could see was this glaring error of seams not matching. ooops. I know my mind was somewhere else that night….. september 11, 2001. The title of this quilt now is “Summer as Seen from September. 2001.”

My March Journal Quilt entry is up. Started out as one thing and turned into something that goes way beyond what you can see in the photos. Pretty cool, I think!

Whoa! As reported in the Coffee Ring, a brand new sport which many of us quilterly sorts will be well-qualified for. See ya in Munich quilters:

Extreme Ironing! Plug in your irons and fire up the temperature. Ready? Set…… STEAM!

It’s suddenly howling up a storm here. Probably is doing some sort of storming, since I hear stuff hitting the windows from time to time. But mostly wind. Big wind.

I’m definitely sore. Should be interesting getting out of bed tomorrow, eh? I’ll try again to go in and be the fill-in “inventory guy.” If I was unsure if I remembered anything of my instructions before, I am even more skeptical now. Maybe I can claim temporary amnesia?

On a different note, thanks to Fed ex, my package arrived at its destination for the Smoky Mountain Quilters show in Knoxville TN. Always nice to start out a quilt somewhere where you’ve done well in the past, without the pressure of it being your home turf, LOL. That show is April 5-19, 2002 and is part of the Dogwood Arts Festival. The exhibit itself is in the TVA West Tower in Knoxville.

You are Hobbes!
You’re a bit too mellow to be an incarnation of Calvin, but you’re still his best pal. You don’t mind having fun, though, and enjoy playing tricks on your friends when they least expect it.
