Nashville Stitch N Bitch

spring fever

Since we're closing in on the first day of spring, what could kick it off in a happier way than this showing up in one's mailbox from cia's? Now... what to do, what to do with them? I can tell you what I won't do - a king size quilt with asymmetrical log cabin squares. You can bet yer ass on that one.

It has taken me three holy schmokin' weeks to get square number 2 done and I am not officially finished with it. Then I still have square 3 to cut and sew, then all of the squares to piece together, then the quilt back to piece, then the basting, the quilting, the ever lovin' binding that I for some reason am foresworn to hand sew because I am having such issues with machine sewn bindings (my own, not with machine sewn bindings in general). People, we could be talking about this thing this time next year. I may have to stop and make a bag. A mind-clearning spring bag.

Meanwhile, I knit.

The euroyarn mom brought me from Italia last year is slowly but surely being knitted into a Four Seasons Throw. It's filati bella, si, but it sure is a bitch to wind. It's some knot-prone stuff and takes me for ever to just get into a ball state. So yes, slow, but sure and surely nice when finished.

Since I don't feel we have thoroughly explored the celebrity brush topic (har de har) I remembered a couple of more to tell you about.

My mom reminded me that I used to date the brother of the guy who the guy angel on Touched By An Angel, AND! And. This is a big one. Probably the biggest one yet. So big that people should all band together and send ME oven mitts just for sharing... sibyl reminded me that I have met cooter. And THAT concludes our Brush With Fame exploration.
