I'm Just Sayin

In case you are wondering why I named this quilt Montana Star (and you probably aren't), it's because I'm teaching this version of Lone Star as a project on The Quilt Show.com. We are taping four shows this weekend in Montana. The name just seemed logical. As far as the quilting, I did it on the Gammill (which is still new to me). It looks good in the photo, but trust me, I still have a lot to learn.

In other news, I left my iPhone in the car this afternoon and when I finally realized it, it had a "temperature warning" message. It basically wouldn't let me use it until it cooled down. So while I prepared a snack I put my iPhone in the freezer. Of course I only meant to leave it there for 5 minutes, but....yes... you guessed it... I forgot and left it there for almost an hour! Today I have put it through both extremes and we can all celebrate because it's working just fine. I'm sure you are relieved to know that...I'm just sayin'...

My heart goes out to those in the path of the storm. It is bearing down on New Orleans at this moment. I hope Isaac doesn't pack a devastating punch.


Today I put the borders on my little Montana Star quilt. As I mentioned previously it's a sample quilt for a segment that I will be teaching on The Quilt Show. It's another good quilt for me to practice quilting on the Gammill. I still don't think I have control. I feel the results are adequate, but far from any standard that I would want on one of my show quilts. Nonetheless, it's a good experience and I'm learning.

As far as my quilting entertainment, I've been watching reruns of one of my favorite British sit-coms - Absolutely Fabulous. If you know the show, raise your hand. So funny... I'm just sayin'...
