Friday Night Sew-In: April 20 Sign-Ups

The sign ups for the April 2012 Friday Night Sew-In are open on "Handmade by Heidi" blog.  There is a theme this month - to make a pillowcase for a sick child through the organization Conkerr Cancer.  Conkerr Cancer tag line at the top its website is “Giving sick kids a reason to smile.. one pillowcase at a time.”


I have a few projects lined up, but I'm having my dermatologist-prescribed blue-light treatment Thursday night, so if it is anything like last time,I may be laying low that night.  I'm hoping not!

FNSI: March Results!

While I didn't get the new quilt top started like I'd planned, I did manage to get 6 new blankets done.  I cut six of the green jungle, so two are still in pieces, but at least these got finished and ready for matching onesies and bibs!  For the new baby boys out there....

 Green Jungle - look closely - what made the designer of this adorable fabric include a whale??

 Alexander Henry "Zoo" fabric - love the bold colors and graphic animals...

 Dinosaurs!  T-Rex, Stegasauraus, and Brontasauraus

I'm going to check out the other FNSI results!

Last weekend, I finished these totes....since I've already taken the pictures, I thought I'd show them off too.

 Green Damask and Stripe - Reversible

Top 10 U2 Songs....

A few months back, and it could very well have been a year ago, one of my dear brothers posted his Top-10 U2 songs to Facebook.  When I saw it, I promised my rebuttal, but I couldn't find all my disks so that I could start listening to jot down my list.  Making the Top 10 proved harder, much harder, than I originally thought because I just like too many of their songs!  I finally did it - so hard to narrow it down, but here it is:
1) Wire - This is my all-time favorite...others are not in order....
2) Love Comes Tumbling
3) So Cruel
4) Two Hearts (my first favorite U2 song)
5) Please
6) Elevation
7) City of Blinding Lights
8) Zooropa
9) Three Sunrises
10) Love and Peace or Else

These were on my scrap trying to muscle into the top 10.....A Man and A Woman....Ultraviolet....Gone...Trip Through Your Wires....Discotheque...Party Girl...Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me...In God's Country....11 O'Clock Tick Tock.

The thing is - none of my tops are on my Brother's tops.....these are his:

1) One
2) New Years Day
3) Pride
4) Bad (Live)
5) Where the Streets Have No Name
6) Sometimes you can't make it on your own
7) Heartland
8) All I want is You
9) Zoo Station
10) Silver and Gold (live)

Anyone care to chime in??

FNSI: Results

I didn't get my pictures taken or therefore, posted for the FNSI results.  :-(  We headed up to my MIL's 70th birthday dinner on Saturday, and I just didn't get pictures taken in time to post before we left.  I intended to post yesterday, but you know that nasty stomach bug going around? YES, it landed on me and I spent all of Saturday night puking.  Absolute misery.  Yesterday the fever came.  Today - feeling better, but not near 100%.  So much for all my long-weekend plans.  I'll be lucky if I pop outside today.  Oh well, there is always next month!

Friday Night Sew In: February 17, 2012

The link to sign up for the FNSI....I'm planning to finish up some in-progress projects.  :-)  But, I'm working the day of the designated sew-in, so my progress may not be all that great.  By the time I'm home and ready to start, my head wants to hit the pillow.  So we will see!
