As far as my <a href="http://vicrace.blogspot.com/p/101-in-1001.html">101 in 1001</a> goes I have been able to mark a few things off my list.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I finished reading Gone With the Wind. I LOVED this book! So glad I took the time to read it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I completed all episodes of Grey's Anatomy. I'm watching the current season as it happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I got my annual mammogram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have learned to geocache. My family and I are having a blast searching for these on the weekends!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I attended an auction and actually bid and won something!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I highlighted my hair! This was a big one because in 40 yrs I have NEVER colored my hair at all!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I may have been MIA online, but I did accomplish several things off my list! </span>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337044624823632048noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768752255953792477.post-48737934472245723122011-11-30T10:18:00.000-06:002011-11-30T10:18:19.134-06:00One Flower Wednesday<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wow this month has gone by fast! I can't believe it's been forever since I blogged! Well time to get back on track.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm still working on the last row of my i-spy matching quilt. I just haven't been in a sewing mood this month. I've managed to get 3 more flowers made.</span></span><br />

This is my 3rd blog post today. Guess I'm playing catch up for the lack of blogging in October. So, if you haven't read my other posts today, then go take a look. I have some exciting stuff happening around here!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">So now for your viewing pleasure I have some different hexies to show you! I'm still working on my I-spy hexies, but I thought I'd change things up a bit and show you want I created for my partner for the <a href="http://inchyhexagonswap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Inchy Hexagon Swap</a>.</span><br />

I won! Did I mention that I won?! I'm so exited, like you can't tell. So what did I win do you ask? Well a couple of posts back I mentioned that I haven't been sewing, blogging, or blog reading much at all this month. The reason being, I was taking a business class for the month of October. The very last class we were to present our business plan to a panel of judges that consisted of local businessmen in our community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">So I spent the whole month researching quilt shops and surveying craft people around my community. I gathered all my info, put my business plan together and created a PowerPoint presentation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Last week I had been told that quilting was a dying art and nobody was interested in it anymore. Well that fueled my fire to get the best presentation created. I had many many statistics showing that not only is quilting thriving, it's growing! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Well long story short. The judges thought my presentation was the best and they all can see how a quilt shop could thrive in our small community. But not only was mine the best, my big incentive was the prize. I won <strong>$500</strong> cash! Now there are rules for this money. I can't just go on a shopping spree and I can't pay bills with it or save it. So I have decided to register my business with the state of Oklahoma and get my tax ID number, I am also going to open a business checking account. Once all that is done, I'm going to set up space at our local craft/antique mall and sell some crafted items there along with opening a shop on Etsy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">My big dream is still opening a local quilt shop, but I have a few hurdles to jump over with our personal finances. So I'm going to start small right now and in a year or two I plan on growing my business.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Also, one of my 101 in 1001 items on my list is to start my own business. Well by the end of November I will be able to cross that off my list!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I still can't believe I won!!!</span>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337044624823632048noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768752255953792477.post-5074831560497473842011-10-25T23:00:00.001-05:002011-10-25T23:00:04.257-05:00One Flower Wednesday<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's <a href="http://journeyofaquilter.blogspot.com/2000/06/sign-in-sheet-for-june-9-2010.html">One Flower Wednesday</a>! Wow I have missed a whole month's worth of One Flower Wednesday's! Well I haven't been doing very much sewing at all. I've been in a no sewing, no blogging, no blog reading funk, but I'm slowly pulling myself out of it. Here are my hexie flowers that I've completed this month. Hopefully I can get them sewn on to my quilt this week!</span></span><br />

So for this post I will give you a peek of each step all at once!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Most of these steps were completed during several Friday Night Sew In's. If you want to see what I did this past Friday night, then skip on down to Step 5 and 6. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 1 - make a bazillion of these! Ok maybe not that many but after awhile it seemed like it.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMxgrjMhwW5qz4I5TyxY0Q_uqnYUCIA0letlIlkWSm8NyqDALGexTAUxGhzdAX-xNTX3FvofMgm0KePZP5OrX0-G4x_qTs61sLEjtgDBJStr1sbzkv5GcNJbGyyLp9C9jEkAbxrffKbDg/s1600/DSC03981.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMxgrjMhwW5qz4I5TyxY0Q_uqnYUCIA0letlIlkWSm8NyqDALGexTAUxGhzdAX-xNTX3FvofMgm0KePZP5OrX0-G4x_qTs61sLEjtgDBJStr1sbzkv5GcNJbGyyLp9C9jEkAbxrffKbDg/s320/DSC03981.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 2 - add the green triangles to 48 half square triangle units.</span></span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgft8opgZUpVR3q04rZFclJgGUpB7txYfhd0GvBTXUBvhbKPQs54v5L9d_ggqma4ZClFxDxwS7MJUsxWCHjAlVSyg7hX6BVKCEHFscGtb-dHh6wcitiJMtitSaVWwUiKtJAqMjntmtUpkA9/s1600/DSC04183.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgft8opgZUpVR3q04rZFclJgGUpB7txYfhd0GvBTXUBvhbKPQs54v5L9d_ggqma4ZClFxDxwS7MJUsxWCHjAlVSyg7hX6BVKCEHFscGtb-dHh6wcitiJMtitSaVWwUiKtJAqMjntmtUpkA9/s320/DSC04183.JPG" width="320" /><br />
</a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 3 - add large triangles of the focus fabric. After I did these, I really really didn't like my fabric choices. I was frustrated, but decided to keep them this way. After a few days of just staring at them, I began to like them again. Am I the only person who does this?!</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTVbkCX-r20eVONA0NidHGCW5ByOlbg7xfVt8vum60xPJZSlGgNnYLP9aStYwBE2xliWwSGavR38gKQdPnvh8HVaB-TelTW7jEanmPa8TqPyt7YVWC_h2RgCC0uUhw13fWrohYMY2T4klV/s1600/DSC04184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTVbkCX-r20eVONA0NidHGCW5ByOlbg7xfVt8vum60xPJZSlGgNnYLP9aStYwBE2xliWwSGavR38gKQdPnvh8HVaB-TelTW7jEanmPa8TqPyt7YVWC_h2RgCC0uUhw13fWrohYMY2T4klV/s320/DSC04184.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 4 - make another bazillion of these! I really hate trimming these little buggers.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixvF_6uN_GH-Rtv9cWxBokBdZRDDKAucrNqt32FhR4UebI1nfdhudqOFGGLtSxoNF1wo7uMhGRJz6WdVfAl2A9eZzKWVWwmJHyLGM3bm4dm9kQeSfIOG7goHoUpvIpxeH3q5eK1cnTINE4/s1600/DSC04185.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixvF_6uN_GH-Rtv9cWxBokBdZRDDKAucrNqt32FhR4UebI1nfdhudqOFGGLtSxoNF1wo7uMhGRJz6WdVfAl2A9eZzKWVWwmJHyLGM3bm4dm9kQeSfIOG7goHoUpvIpxeH3q5eK1cnTINE4/s320/DSC04185.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Step 5 - Thanks to this weeks Friday Night Sew In I was able to complete most of this step. Apparently in step 1 I only made half a bazillion half square triangle units. I had a few left to get this step started then I had to make more. I sewed and sewed and sewed and still didn't get this step finished, but I'm close!</span></span><br />

I wasn't sure what fabrics I was going to use for these blocks. I usually like all my fabrics to coordinate, but this time I have decided to use scrap fabrics related to that month.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So for September I wanted fall fabrics. I don't have a large scrap fabric collection but I did have some cute sunflower fabric. Here is my block...</span></span><br />

Wow! October is half over! So, what have I been up to? Not much on the craft front, but I've been really busy in other aspects of my life.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At work, we lost a coworker due to budget cuts at the end of September. Yesterday, my boss just announced he's retiring at the end of this year. In two weeks, I have my annual in-service to attend out of town. I feel like I've done nothing but play catch up all month long!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At home, I've been cleaning and I don't seem to be making any dents anywhere! Softball has ended and we've already had one basketball scrimmage.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for crafty stuff, I've done a bit of sewing on my hexagons. I have one hexie flower made for my swap partner. I'll make the other one this weekend and it get mailed next week. I've slowly been working on my mystery quilt (I'll post about that tomorrow).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I did join a local class on "How to Start Your Own Business". So every Tuesday & Thursday nights I can be found there until November 1st. For our last class we have to present a business plan to three judges. We have been told that one judge is a local banker and if he/she is impressed enough just might offer financing for the winner of the best plan. The other two judges are also local business men/women. The person with the best business plan will win $500 CASH! You cannot save this money, and you cannot pay bills with it, but you can invest in the stock market, apply it towards your new business, buy a new wardrobe, anything that goes toward your self improvement. I'm very excited and am really enjoying this class!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now last but certainly not least. My middle daughter turned 16 yesterday! Here she is standing beside her birthday present...</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC8LVFCqNl4zK3UOx5nuzWPLa4Jih-nECgjF0Nmi3QpcqL7EuYl6yAWk2hzqpDgwNfj3sej0Le_KtkHkKW3xfANMPMMyfegfZvz4k-vkz3zPybHc3BLZJIMuHctOVddIgZwMM9UUyxOQP6/s1600/DSC04197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC8LVFCqNl4zK3UOx5nuzWPLa4Jih-nECgjF0Nmi3QpcqL7EuYl6yAWk2hzqpDgwNfj3sej0Le_KtkHkKW3xfANMPMMyfegfZvz4k-vkz3zPybHc3BLZJIMuHctOVddIgZwMM9UUyxOQP6/s320/DSC04197.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She was so excited! Then last night we surprised her again with a special cake that my oldest daughter and I made...</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV3-yFZsavJiJC5apxLZjyekY4v0EnOZ9-Z99qi3OOiRaKZV23-xz31qxLUHxYizmWvBwZDufE2nxjsJtnAKZbLBkEx_pt0dWr1X3dHrd8kIalqJes-3U4zRJuDV-qJrGhQAZFy0MC-Bhg/s1600/DSC04198.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV3-yFZsavJiJC5apxLZjyekY4v0EnOZ9-Z99qi3OOiRaKZV23-xz31qxLUHxYizmWvBwZDufE2nxjsJtnAKZbLBkEx_pt0dWr1X3dHrd8kIalqJes-3U4zRJuDV-qJrGhQAZFy0MC-Bhg/s320/DSC04198.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We loved making this cake and it was really neat to look at, but not so appetizing to eat. There were way too many M&Ms per bite! So if I made it again, I would do something else other than M&Ms for the top.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that kinds sums up my life for the last two weeks. What have you been up too? </span></span>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337044624823632048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768752255953792477.post-36668113888814781442011-09-29T12:33:00.000-05:002011-09-29T12:33:59.890-05:00Thursday Think Tank<center><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></center><center><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></center><center><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://makingrebeccalynne.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Thursday Think Tank" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IzZgn6Uynis/TkJ0PZ02MbI/AAAAAAAAIPc/jjLVXjuTXeo/s800/Think%252520Tank%252520Original%252520Screenshot.jpg" /></a></span></span></center><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Finished another row on my <a href="http://vicrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/one-flower-wednesday_28.html">hexagon quilt</a>! </span></span><br />

He just won 1st place in the world finals in his car stereo competition for the 2nd year in a row! So I really need to get this done for Christmas.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.Buy fabric for my father-in-laws Christmas quilt. It's going to be in all batiks, which is a bit outta my price range at the moment.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have decided to join Thursday Think Tank with <a href="http://makingrebeccalynne.blogspot.com/">making rebecca lynne</a>. I'm hoping to use these weekly posts to keep me on track for Christmas for starters. Plus, I have so many ideas running around in my head, it will be a good place to write them down.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. I want to make a <a href="http://www.elisaloves.com/2011/09/how-to-sew-ruffle-skirt-from-t-shirt.html">ruffle skirt</a> for my youngest daughter. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. I think my brother would love this <a href="http://www.lindsaysews.com/2011/08/equalizer-quilt-photo-shoot.html">equalizer quilt</a>. He competes in car stereo competitions so I think he'll like it. Just need to find cool fabrics for him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Remember this shoe fabric...it's the top right one...</span></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. One of my coworkers is leaving her job soon.

I think she will love it.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. I have a quilt pattern idea floating around in my head. I need to find the time to get it on paper. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6. And don't forget about the mystery quilt and BOM I'm working on with my guild! So much to do, but so fun! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So now that I've shared with ya'll my to do list, I need to work on it. I'm a procrastinator so hopefully I can use this weekly post to stay on track.</span></span></div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337044624823632048noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768752255953792477.post-87442144169392816132011-09-21T11:10:00.000-05:002011-09-21T11:10:40.452-05:00One Flower Wednesday<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's <a href="http://journeyofaquilter.blogspot.com/2000/06/sign-in-sheet-for-june-9-2010.html">One Flower Wednesday</a>!

I didn't get my fabrics until August and right after I got those is when I got really sick. Besides sewing on binding, I haven't touched my sewing machine since the last FNSI! Sad thing is, I'm still not finished with step 1. I have 22 more to make still! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

They think we are going to have lunch with my mother. After lunch with Mom we will tell them the big surprise. I know my 5 yr old will love it, just not sure what the 15 yr old will do when I tell her we aren't going shopping at the Outlet Mall.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also have some other exciting news. My best friend, Kasi, is having her baby shower today in North Carolina. I'm excited because the baby quilt I made her arrived at her doorstep yesterday! I have given her strict instructions not to open it until the shower today. I just wish I could be there to see her face. Hopefully, her mom will take pictures and send me one. So, stay tuned until tomorrow and I will post some pictures of the quilt I sent her.</span></span></div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337044624823632048noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768752255953792477.post-7132433848670178912011-09-15T15:02:00.002-05:002011-09-15T15:02:20.230-05:00New BOM...Come Join Me<div align="center"><a href="http://cvquiltworks.blogspot.com/2011/09/bloggers-bom-quilt-along.html" title="Canton Village Quilt Works"><img alt="Canton Village Quilt Works" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6070/6149318355_8ab1bb94b1_o.jpg" style="border: none;" /></a></div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337044624823632048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768752255953792477.post-69179800936906379402011-09-14T13:33:00.000-05:002011-09-14T13:33:03.608-05:00One Flower Wednesday<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I almost didn't get this done.

A very warm welcome to my new readers also.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This program is very versatile. You can create all kinds of things with it. Today I created a label for my quilt for my friend Kasey's 1st daughter. She has no idea what the quilt looks like or even what colors I used. So the only sneak peek she will get is the label. This was created using the My Memories scrapbook software.</span></span><br />

This fabric was made with one of my graphics! I decided to give <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/">Spoonflower</a> a try and see how some of my graphics look as fabric. I've uploaded a few graphics, but wanted to test this swatch first. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
