Mondays!!!
Okay I am sure I am not the only one to do this, but I sewed my sewing machine foot to the machine....yes I forgot I had my 1/4 inch foot on the machine when I tried to sew a blanket stitch and voila sewed it right to the machine. Am I the only one to have to use a seam ripper to disengage my sewing foot from the sewing machine!!! LOL Mondays!!!

Checker Open House 2010
Hi Quilt Fans! I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the 62nd Checker Open House this weekend! How cool to meet some great quilters and presenters! I attended several workshops and learned many new techniques! Here is a re-cap of Day 1!
The first session was a class on the new EQ7 quilt software.
I learned how to add and edit any image to add it to a quilt. It is so easy to import your images into the program and then you can do all kinds of things to enhance and even use effects to change the photo completely. After you make your changes you can then print them on fabric and sew directly into your quilt using EQ Printable Fabric Sheets!
The second session was presented by Karen Montgomery and she told us all kinds of ways to host events in our quilt shops! I will need to improvise since I don't have an actual shop, but I got some great ideas. She also had several products that she demonstrated for us, including the Creative Grids Quick Trim Ruler and the Creative Grids 60 Degree Triangle Ruler.
The Strip Easy Table Runner uses this ruler.
The third session featured Sue Hausmann who gave us many tips for selling and also demonstrated several rulers and tools. The Quick-Easy Mitered Binding Tool makes mitered borders a breeze!
The final speaker of the day was the fabulous Eleanor Burns! She had everyone laughing hysterically and presented her new book Quilt Block on American Barns and several quilts made from the book! What a hoot! She had a roomful of quilt shop owners singing and laughing!
Afterwards, Eleanor stayed and autographed her book. I had to get one and a picture! What a wonderful lady!!
Stay tuned for Day 2 update!!!

One of those Days
Do you ever have just one of those days? Well yesterday and now today are one of those days for me.
It all started by waking up with a killer migraine yesterday. Then I came down to my computer to find our website is not up and running. After many phone calls it still is not working. Now we are into day 2 and no resolution.
I hate having my hands tied and nothing I can do to fix it. And being a fix it kinda person this just really irritates me.
The only thing I can do is give it to the Lord and hope it gets resolved soon...and hope I don't lose any customers over it.
What do you do when you are frustrated over a situation that you have no control over? I am thinking a huge bowl of ice cream is sounding really good!
This one ought to do it!
Anyway, we hope to be back soon and send ~BEAR HUGS~ to all!
