Straight Lines

I am working on KC's quilt and having the hardest time with straight lines-I pin them and fold them back and they look straight and then I sew them and they are straight no longer. It is driving me nuts. I feel like I could apply this to my life as well, I start out on one path and see the straight line ahead but as I walk it I start to curve, you don't necessarily see it till you look back on it. Unlike fabric that you can take out and try again, most of the time you have to keep the path you created.

NCIS and Tea

I am procrastinating right now. I should be going to bed or working on my craft swap but instead I am watching Season 5 (About Face) of NCIS and drinking yummy tea. Nathan is doing the hulu in the kitchen for his cat and making me laugh. 

My craft swap is going to be really cool-my partner is from Australia and we have almost no shows in common other than Doctor Who. She likes old Doctor and I am a 10th Doctor girl. (What are your thoughts on 11th Doctor.) However I am watching some of her other shows thanks to youtube and they are kinda fun. Here are the items I am planning for her:

a tv tray with three of her favorite shows

a clock with images from Doctor Who 

two boxes with various images on them

other items I would like to make are;

a bag

coasters

pillowcases

placemats

We shall see how much time I have due to the fact that I am a procrastinator. I am also working on a quilt for a friend of mine that has been in the making for 2 years. I am printing out squares with photos of all her favorite tv characters on them and then adding borders of blue and brown brocade around them. I have finally finished the layout of all the sheets (a total of 82) and have started printing them. I am really excited about this project but nervous about how it will all turn out. I will post photos as soon as I have it started. 

Now I should go and head for bed before it gets much later. 

Sweet Dreams
