OK, I have finished the quilt that we are going to make in the Beginning Quilt Class that I am going to teach in a few weeks...here it is!

I wrote the pattern (something I have been wanting to practice anyway).  I just wanted to practice...don't think you can sell a 9 patch patter...however, I did notice several ways to make it very modern that might make an interesting book : D.

More practice! !!:-)

How Much is Too Much?

I love quilting!  I love to quilt, I love every bit of the process although after I get past the longarming it is hard from me to do the binding, label etc. 

However, recently I agreed to run the quilt show for my local guild, I thought it a good idea to write a cookbook with it...  If you have never done this, it is a ton of work and like an idiot I couldn't seem to delegate much of it.

I also signed on to be a rep for my longarm machine...I love my machine and think being a rep is AWESOME, however for the last month and a half I have been gone either to training or to work the booths at shows.  This weekend is my quilt show that I am running for my guild and next weekendthe local Innova Distributor is having an open house at her new facility.

Also, I am running my quilting business and although I am not too far behind, everyday that I don't quilt I feel pressure to get them done. 

So, unfortunately - I have now discovered that this is too much!  I don't even want to hear the word quilting right now!  I haven't gotten to spend time with my family in months and I am always saying "Mommy has to do some work"...ugh!!!  It is like all of a sudden I have 5 jobs!  Something has got to give...think it will have to be the guild.  I will have to see how it goes after the quilt show is over. 

Oh yeah and if you are interested...we have a really GREAT cookbook with 170 recipes, a gluten free/sugar free section for only $10...let me know and I can get one to you for you : D.
