Tessa got a part in the Missoula Children's Theater production of Robin Hood! She is a snobby aristocrat. How did they know? They get a week to practice and then they perform this Saturday; free to the public. Dawson County High School has an awesomely wicked auditorium- It's huge! With an actual stage. This is a big deal around here. Not many schools have something like this. Its from back when this town had people and money. You know, the last oil boom.
I will be recording it; Chantz and his parents won't be able to make it. He would have to leave tomorrow to get back in time and his folks just left Glendive this morning.
I am working on the quilt. The pattern is layed out and I used the left over peices to practice with. This sucks. Its just plain squares- but lining them up may be a problem. I have to make sure that every piece is the same size. Yes I said practice, which means that I fixed my sewing machine. It wasn't broke. The last time I used it the fabric kept getting stuck in the bottom. C's grandma suggested I use a smaller needle. I found the book it came with and also made sure all the settings were correct for my fabric. No problems yet!
Can't stay, must move on. I have to call JC Penny's.

I am using 4 inch cotton squares of these really cute patterns I got from the local fabric/quilting store. I bout them in fat quarters and have plenty. With a quarter inch seam they should end up being 3 1/2 each when done. C's cousin said to line them up to check for size and shape then trim, trim, trim! She said that would help make the rows even. I hope so.
2 machines? Damn. I begged my mom to let me use her machine (it is old but a very good one) and she said no! Know how long it has been since she has used it? She used to make us dresses. Back in the day...
Do we get to see pictures of the quilt when it's done? :)
I hope so crys. There is a website for the fabric that has pitures of all the ones I chose. I've been meaning to post them. Of course I didn't save pics of ones I already had, just my wish list. Silly me.
I admire everyone who quilts. I'd never be able to do it because it would push ALL my buttons.
Yeah, you're nesting, alright.
