Today I will get some sewing time. I am going to be working on a flannel rag quilt for my nephew. Time to sew the front squares to the back squares. 80 of them. I am getting a jump on things with this quilt. It is a birthday gift and his birthday is in June. Yeah!!
Also working on Kid's Komfort quilts for the guild meeting in March. I need to have two done by the first Monday in March. It is a personal goal for me. I have finished the project for February that my sister and I are encouraging each other to do. Mine was my continuing education, hers is a collage. Hers is almost done.

Just Stuff
It has been awhile since I last posted. I am happy to say I finished all my Continuing Education for the re-certification of my Pharm Tech certificate. That was my February project. I have been doing some cutting and sewing but not for same project. I have completed the Christmas quilt top for my bed and cut out 180 7" squares for the rag quilt for my nephew. Some of the fabric was a gift from my sister, some came out of my stash and I only had to buy one yard!! Next in line are two Kid's Komfort quilts for our guild's charity project. I am trying to finish one a month for each guild meeting. February I was in Georgia the night of the meeting. Of course, in Ohio we were having yucky weather and the meeting was cancelled! So I get a little extra time.
Work is picking up a bit and now they are offering overtime again. It is strongly encouraged for the work at home people to do overtime. I did 5 hours last night into this morning. Mondays are my day off and I had already crammed quite a bit of stuff into the day. I had hoped to sew last night but life is what happens when you make other plans.

No sewing for me
I really wanted to sew this week, but it is time to work on my continuing education for Pharmacy Technician certification, It is not due until the end of next month, but I want to get it out of the way!
I have decided to make my nephew's quilt 8 rows across and 10 rows down a total of 160 squares including both the front and back. I have a little over 50 squares cut so far. I have found a few pieces in my stash. I like that option best.
I still have two Kid's Komfort quilts to make this month. One for the February guild meeting and one for the March meeting. These quilts are coming out of my stash. Yeah!!
My sister and I both finished our January projects. She did a drawing and I did my nightgown. She is working on a collage for February and I am working on my continuing education for February. Not nearly as creative as I could be but important just the same. I have several ideas roaming around in my brain for March. So many ideas so little time!!

Stuff
I have made good progress on the Villa quilts the Villarama fund raiser. In fact, they are both done! But I do not plan on doing this type of marathon quilting any time soon. I have never finished two quilts in ten days. The quilt tops were pieced when I got them, I only had to pin baste them, quilt them and bind them. As soon as I get pictures of them I will post them.
My sister found a quilt shop near Atlanta and we are going there today. Yeah!! Not looking for anything special, but I sure something will come home with me. So far I have shopped my sister's stash of stuff. I have her scraps of flannel from her lastest rag quilt and the neutral gender ones I will use for our nephew's rag quilt, scrap book paper for a project I found on Pinterest, leather sample squares~~ project already finished~~, and linen hankerchiefs to make a bonnet for Elly. And of course, the few purchases I have already made. So far, no fabric. At least not yet.
I am thinking that this might be the next quilt I am going to finish. It needs a border and to be quilted. It is certainly bright and cheery. Just what I will need in Ohio. It is going to be hard to say good bye to my sister and her hubby and the 70 degree weather when I leave on Sunday!

Vacation
I am officially on vacation. I left on Sunday from Ohio where it was 15 degrees and snowing and there was snow on the ground. I arrived in Georgia and it was 58 degrees and sunny and no snow to be found. Yesterday was my regular day off and today we my first day of vacation. Today we went driving around the countryside taking in all the sights and taking a few pictures of the interesting things that are normal in Georgia. I have left my camera cord at home and I am not able to download any pictures today. Oh well!!
My sister and I are doing craft projects. She is snipping a rag quilt for her granddaughter and I am binding one of two quilts for Villarama, the fundraiser where my sister teaches at. I hope to have both of them finished and drop them at my sister's on my way home from vacation.
