Janet Quilts!

Janet has been attending the Buchanan School For Quilting for the last couple of weeks.  She says it's super fun and she really enjoys it.  First project - a table runner that said it was for beginners.  The fabric came already organized so "all" Janet had to do was cut the fabric (yeah, right!) and assemble.  Janet likes to presumes she is as smart as the average beginner, but there wasn't a hope in h**l she could have done this without some assistance.

From Tag Blankies to Table Runners!  She is pretty proud of herself!

Next project - a baby size quilt.  Janet sewed all the squares in the centre together.  They are called "Charm Packs" and then Karen helped Janet cut the borders and assemble the three layers.  Little Miss Quilter is learning some quilting lingo - in addition to Charm Packs, they have Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Fat Quarters.  Who knew?

We are on a tag team of "who isn't going to eat this week".  First Noodles was sick and wouldn't eat, and now Rockers won't eat his meals.  I always make sure to be a good girl and inhale eat all my meals.  I don't won't Janet and Phil to be annoyed with me.  Then the vet said there is nothing wrong with my thyroid so they should cut out sweet potatoes and carrots from the Chicken Vegetable Melange du Jour!  Turns out I'm just a curvy gal!

They have substituted peas.  Just a couple left to go!

When we went for a walk on the weekend, these two crazy adventurous girls were going for a dip in the ocean.  Janet said it took her longer to enter the warm ocean in Hawaii!

They look very intent.

Janet's private quilting instructor gave her an early birthday gift.  We are well on our way to becoming quilters!

Initially, Janet thought it was a really early birthday gift, but then she remembered it is already March and she will turn 61 years old in May.  She is going to have a chat with Phil because she doesn't want a huge celebration this year; similar to one he threw for her last year when she turned 60.

Bookends!
