straight lines is where its at

seriously. i know you will not believe me when i say that this was easy, but i stand by my claim. if you can cut and sew in a straight line, you can make this quilt. i was inspired by julies strip quilt which is so lovely, and i thought to myself this is my kind of thing. of course i made it even easier by only quilting in straight lines and by machine stitching the binding. read easy = lazy in my lexicon. things were not helped by an extreme amount of procrastination on my part. i was in a sort of fog all last week for various reasons. anyway, the proud soon to be parents really liked it. i knew kerry would, but was delighted that clark did as well. lucky me! thank you stephanie for hosting such a great evening. for those that are interested, there is a set on flickr to peruse. just the sort of thing i needed, even though the event wasnt for me! good food, friends, wine and one kid, whats not to like? exactly. so onto other things. i have settled down on a christmas card idea (speaking of julie again, did you see hers??? love.) and now it is just a matter of dusting off the ol' gocco and setting to work. lots of excitement this week. christmas programs, concerts, and david jets off to los angeles for five days. whew. now that i think about it maybe dusting off the gocco might take longer that i thought. hmmm...
