EQ7 is coming

June 7th, 2010 EQ 7 will be available. It looks so wonderful. Even more fabulous things you can do.

sneak peeks / 2nd place

A little sneak peek of some water, sand and sea gulls. :o) It can't show you the whole thing until after May 9th, Mother's Day.

I am working on a wedding signature quilt for my sister n law. The wedding is in June. This June. None of the leaves are stitched down yet, so I still have a lot of work to do.

Everyone at the wedding will sign the leaves. Their wedding theme is leaves/ trees. This pattern is "Seams Like Home" by Joan Jones.

My daughter's robotics team ( Blue Cheese, 1086) went to the World Robotics Competition in Atlanta , GA this weekend. They were undefeated until the end. They ended up winning an award and winning 2nd place in their division. Here she is carrying around her control box. She always has this little box in her hands.

Here are a few of the them having some fun. The guy in the middle is her sweet boyfriend.

And here is my baby blue cheese head with her metal. I am so proud of her.

a whole row done

I really finished the whole first row of my " A boy's story" quilt. Here is close up of the last block on the first row. A kite.

The whole first row.

"A Boy's Story" by Hatched and Patched.

A big shout out to team Blue Cheese, 1086

My daughter's robotics team won again. They won the North Carolina Regionals. And what an awesome competition it was. They were in 1st place the whole time so they got to pick the 2 teams for their alliance.

Remember , she is part of the 'drive team'. Every time I take a picture of her out there, she has that pole in front of her head. LOL But there she is. She is the kicker.



This photo is right after the winning score went up and they knew they had won. Everyone was screaming , yelling and jumping up and down. Hugging and crying. And "We are the Champions" by Queen was playing in the background. It was an awesome moment.

I just love this sign. It was hanging up as you walked into the building of the competition.

Next is Atlanta, Good luck to every one there. It's going to be an awesome ride.

March blocks

Made some progress on my "A boy's story" quilt top.

This is the half I was working on in March...

Bareroots March BOM...

Snowbound for March...

Under the Sea for March....

They won.

I am not back yet. But I had to brag about my girl. She is on the robotics team at school. They competed this weekend at Regional and WON! Her robotics team has about 40 kids on it and my daughter is one of the drivers. One of 2. :o) So she is part 'pit crew'. She is also the first girl driver they have ever had. And they WON!!! Can you tell I 'm proud?!

I love this picture, it is of her , her 2 metals around her neck and leaning on the robot. I will probaby have this one framed. The team, Blue Cheese, 1086 is going to the World competition in April. I am so proud of her I have been crying for 3 days.

February blocks and a break.

Here are my February blocks...not all done. :o) I was not able to get my "A Boy's Story" block done. But I did manage to get one of the stitcherys and the applique boat done.

My 'Bareroots' BOM....

February block for "Snowbound"....

And my #2 block for "Under the Sea".....

I am going to be taking a little computer break. So I won't be blogging for awhile. I just need a break from the whole computer thing. The facebook, flickr and blogging world. I am not sure how long my break will be. It could be a week or a month or even 6 months. So Happy Stitching. Talk to you soon, but later.
