I plan to quilt this evening - a good and happy day.
ReplyDeleteI had a Valentine's dinner with my sweet 86 year old parents last night as my honey was out of town.
ReplyDeletesomething good and happy? there is an overabundance of chocolate in my house and i am okay with that. :) plus, i just started a new epp project and i get to pick out more fabric for it today! thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe sun is going to shine today, and it is most wonderful after several days of gray skies and snowy weather! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm meeting good friends for lunch today and gifting quilts. Nothing better than sharing my love.
ReplyDeleteI am alive and well with a roof over my head. Yesterday I had a fire inside my dryer - but I was close and got it put out quickly. This "tragedy" could have been so much worse. Instead it is a big inconvenience - but I am HAPPY to have my home spared. It is a GOOD day every day if we look for the sunny side of life.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I had a quiet night at home with take out and a chocolate lava cake for dessert (which we shared). Afterwards we spent some much needed alone time :) Its the simple things in life :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad are celebrating their 69th wedding anniversary today :) The sun is shining and life is good.
ReplyDeleteIt is sunny today, and we have not had more than an inch of snow in 60 days - and I live in a snowbelt so that is just so hard to believe!
ReplyDeleteI have a blank space on my calendar which means I get to quilt ALL day long!!!!!! Celebrating the blank spaces! FINISHING projects and scrap busting is the 2017 goal. Also, excited to start a new square foot garden project with a community garden group.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I were able to Valentine my Mom's house with rose petals, candy, and a treasure hunt and topped off the day with a chance to babysit my grandson while his parents were out to supper!! Great day.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a February thaw! :) 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove your Victory Blocks. Today is Good and Happy because I am packing for a weekend quilt retreat Up North with a few friends.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is supposed to shine all day...the Splendid Sampler will continue round 2 beginning in May,so I hope to catch up, and friends are coming this evening for wine, pizza and heartfelt conversation...color me happy! judieharronatyahoodotcom

Woke up this morning to snow, it was beautiful. As i sit here the sun is peeking out and i can see a sliver of blue sky. i had to jump up and run outside for a photo to send to my daughter who is living in Spain. Wanted her to see what she was missing.
ReplyDeleteSunshine, it's sunny today! Sad to say how much the weather affects my mood, we've had overcast for several weeks and to see the sun is such a brightener! Hope QuiltCon goes well for you. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAfter a rough recovery from knee replacement, my partner has reached the point where he can get back to doing many things on his own--so I'm getting more sleep and feel h-u-m-a-n again! It's wonderful! And he is delighting in being helpful, which is so sweet. What a difference a week makes.
ReplyDeleteHappy today because I am using my Geese Crossing die for the first time!

Today is a great day because it's sunny, and I don't have any work to do so I can hang out with my sewing machine. :-)
ReplyDeleteToday I finished pattern testing of one of Happy Sew Lucky's paper-piecing patterns. It is the biggest and most complicated piece I have made so far. It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove, loved the journey. I am no longer intimidated by PP or Applique blocks. What a great idea to do this as a great big Quilt a long. The other quilters inspired me in so many ways. I also learned the importance of color placement. So glad I participated. I have 108 blocks now ready to put into multiple tops.
ReplyDeleteIT is a sunny day, which is always a good day for me during winter! Thanks!

My BFF's hubby, who had a stroke last Friday night, walked with a walker yesterday. Woohoo! Hopefully he will be headed to a rehab facility on Thursday. Progress is GOOD!
ReplyDeleteMy husband gave me a bouquet of red roses, was a great day at work as an RN at the office, and my thoughts were of my step dad who would have been celebrating his birthday on Valentine Day but he passed 27 years ago I truly miss that man.
ReplyDeleteToday I started in on the box of chocolates that I got for Valentine's Day. My favorite gift!
ReplyDeleteI have had extra quilting time today to work on an UFO
ReplyDeleteI saw the baby gorilla, JJ, at the zoo. SOOOO cute. And the twin baby manatees who were very busy eating lettuce. They have to eat a lot of lettuce to grow big. It was a great day at the zoo.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous sunny day here and I am already packing for Savannah!!! Hope to see you there!!! mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteI got my sewing machine vack from its first spa day. It runs so quietly. I can sew again!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what's better cooking or baking for the family.
ReplyDeleteKatie Higgins (katie 95005 @yahoo dot com)
Many good things, lovely sunrise, chickadees at the bird feeder, time to sew with a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteJust got my last dental appointment behind me, had a fabulous winter walk and am now settling in for the evening! It's all good!
ReplyDeleteFinished quilting a charity Quilt! Yah!
ReplyDeleteI have 3 pots of orchids I am overwintering that have been sending up their bloom shoots, 2 of them for the first time after years of not blooming, my hoya plant that I have moved from Ottawa to Boston coming on 20 years is setting bud, and my other plants are perking up with the extra light we are getting as each day becomes longer and longer as spring starts to approach.
ReplyDeleteI have been making better progress as my hand stitching improves on my EPP hexagons, and I'm considering branching out to fussy cut pentagons ala La Passacaglia! My son just started a new job the same week his unemployment ran out, and I'm surrounded by wonderful fabrics.

ReplyDeleteHi!! Valentines Day was just so sweet for me!! My little 3-year old grandson called me and said, "Happy Valentine's Day, Gammaw!" He was so sweet....and well, it just doesn't get any better than this!! :) Speaking of my grandson, I am in the middle of making a quilt for him for when he is in his big boy bed!! The splendid sampler had awakened my passion for sewing and quilting, and so now I am going to channel it into making a quilt for him!! The splendid sampler was so much fun....seeing everyone's blocks gave me inspiration and motivation, and I want to thank you for your part in this adventure!! It has truly been splendid!! :) <3 fncsteach AT msn DOT com
ReplyDeleteSomething happy? I am going to be an aunt for the 7th time. I have a range of nieces and nephews from 13 to 1, and all from the same sister. The odd thing is that having been an aunt 6 times, you'd think that I would be pretty casual about the whole thing, but actually I get more excited with every one. That's about the happiest, most joyous thing in my heart right now.
ReplyDeleteI live in California and it did not rain today, which right now is a great thing. We need to dry out a bit before any more rain comes. Did some weeding and outside clean up.
ReplyDeleteI got to eat lunch with my mom as she volunteered in my library at school today!
ReplyDeleteMy son is home visiting for the week with his girlfriend. We're having fun! See you in Savannah!
ReplyDeleteWe just bought a new car! Trading in my 16 year old Civic. It was a good car, but I'm ready for more bells and whistles!

I'm happy you're happy and going to Quilt Con. I'm happy that I got some sewing time in today, and that I'm feeling better (sinus infection is going away, hopefully for good this time), and Thursday is Mom's 88th birthday, and she's excited. I'm also happy that yesterday was my puppy's 8th birthday. And I have red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing in my fridge.
ReplyDeleteToday I passed my Algebra final, and now I have more time to quilt! :) I love all the "V"s you placed in the Splendid Sampler. It looks like a fun quilt to put together. Thanks from Albuquerque! roxona at ymail dot com
ReplyDeleteTonight I spent time with 6 friends for dinner. We've been meeting for over 11 years to discuss life and books once a month. Thanks for this chance to win. Hope to see you at quilt con. (DianeWespiser@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteIn addition to getting chocolate and flowers from my hubby, I met with a group of my quilting friends (we meet every week) We all made a scrappy paper pieced "heart" block, and then swapped autographed blocks with each other. It will be such lovely memory of the friends when I complete my little wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun thread-painting a postcard yesterday. I resolve to do it again!
ReplyDeleteToday, the tomato basil soup I had for lunch was GOOD. Coming home to quilt after work made me HAPPY!

ReplyDeleteSomething very good about today was that the temperature high was 64*. That is unbelievable weather for February in Iowa! We walked for an hour is short-sleeves! I know, we could easily get a few more heavy snowstorms before spring, but this was a fabulous treat!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a very good day of rain which we very much need. Also, I felt good enough after a terrible cold to get some cleaning done so maybe I can do some quilting tomorrow. Yeah!!!

ReplyDeleteTerry email: peachesncreamlace@yahoo.com My happy moment was sitting outside in my back yard this morning, talking to my cat, trying to decide where to plant the tomatoes and squash and cantaloupe. He likes to play jungle kitty and hide and jump out of the plants. After talking for awhile and then asking him if he liked my idea of what and where I was going to plant this summer -- he leaned up closer to my face and purred loudly as he gave me a big kiss on the check. You could feel the love vibrating from him. We touch each others lives in so many ways.

I spent all weekend at a quilt retreat and still enjoying the high from that today!!! I have loved every minute of this journey. My favorite memory is meeting up with both designers and other quilters at a shop in Syracuse during the summer! SO GLAD I MET YOU !!! Thanks Katie cclark4@rochester.rr.com
ReplyDeleteI spent time outside in the sunshine and more time looking at all the quilting blogs. Wish I had found the Splendid Sampler sooner.
ReplyDeleteHappy cause i am more blessed than i should be.
ReplyDeleteSomething happy today? It is really warm outside, so the furnace isn't running much, and the sun coming through the window makes it almost irresistible to curl up on the couch with my quilt to shake off this cold :) Happy Quilting!
ReplyDeleteI just returned from a 5 day retreat where I got 2 quilt tops to the "ready to be quilted" state, mostly finished 52 preemie/newborn knit baby hats for donation to local hospitals, completed 4 girl's dresses for donation to a medical mission to Africa this summer, and completed 3 applique blocks to get started on a new wall hanging. I call that good and happy! Along with the 11 hours of sleep I got last night after arriving home!
