Hey there,

So, today really doesn't have much of anything, be it that I had a weekend-long wedding I was at and a day's worth of suffering  through the flu/food poisoning/allergic reaction or whatnot. I finally made it in to work today, which I am starting to think is no small feat. One hour in and all I have been doing is sitting and I'm about ready to nap. This might be a shorter day than normal for me, but at least I showed up. That's my biggest concern, that I don't get in to work because I only work part time during the summer so every hour counts.

But, even besides getting sick, the weekend was wonderful. One of my good friends got married at a beautiful and wonderful ceremony and then we all got to hang out and have lots of fun.

As for quilting and such, I have mostly been working on my Auction quilts. I think I will only have one for this auction, but I feel that is perfectly fine due to the fact that the other quilt I had been thinking about doing for the auction is less of an art quilt and more of a very fun, goofy, tee shirt quilt. Unfortuantely, there are not any pictures right now. I did get my second (and last) borders finished up, so as soon as they are attached, basting, quilting, and binding must be done and then I am done! So optimistic, aren't I?

And that doesn't even begin to list out all of the other quilts I have going. Maybe one day, I will have my footer be an update of where I am on all my quilts or digital copy of my quilt board. I think that might be something for a future post.

Also this last week, I delved into the world of designing my own paper piecing quilts. I really need to learn how to make big pieces first, because I have quite a few pieces for my blocks (try like 15 different small sections on one. I can't remember on the other). I just need to keep practicing. But that really was for my modification of PoD pattern. I'm adding and modifying quite a bit, but that's part of the fun!

Also, I am starting to think through the process of making a Firefly Quilt Along quilt. Not one of those light up bug quilts, though I have a love for them as well, but one based on the ended-before-its-time, one-season-long TV show Firefly. It might also have some pieces of the movie Serenity as well, just because, well, it would be a good idea... We'll see. I'll keep you up to date on that as things progress.
