Quiet Weekend Ahead--->

Today is 9/11.  Fourteen years.  I have not forgotten.  I love the song Have You Forgotten? by Darryl Worley.  I haven't played it yet today, but I will.  I did order the movie Working Girl  on demand and watched it.  It has the best views of the Twin Towers that used to be glinting so pretty in the sun.  I hope to watch a few other movies that show how stunning these towers were.  It brings up a renewed patriotism in me each year and a hope that we can come together in tough times to overcome whatever we need to, inside and outside our beautiful country!  This is my hope for all freedom-loving countries around the world, too. 

As for other activities, I intend to keep them quiet and close to home.  It will be a great weekend for a bonfire, crockpot dinners, a little baking and some chores and, best of all, playing in the fabric!  I am sorting, cutting, organizing, and preparing my scraps to become quilt pieces of all kinds!  I need bigger blocks for one future project.  I need string pieces for a new project on 4 1/2" paper foundation squares.  I have my crazy quilt squares to cover, too.  These are 7 1/2" fabric foundation squares.
..See the photo below... 
All the big pieces of fabric smaller than 12" get cut down into various sizes and sorted for later use! 
I don't have much done, yet, but I will be working on this in the coming months. 

Each week I am trying to keep my knitting to one or two projects.  My crocheting to one or two projects.  My quilting, just cutting and organizing for right now.  I have an upcoming quilt meeting with our local group and the opportunity to quilt 'round the frame (each week!) with a church group.
I have really become interested the quilt teacher Bonnie K. Hunter after finding a live quilt-cam on YouTube (vacation in MN) and a String Fling book of hers, also found while on vacation in MN.  There is so much to learn and I hope to have some goals and a definite direction in the future...not just floundering and hoping for the best!

Well, gotta go get some errands run and get the dessert started soon.  It will be a pumpkin dessert of some kind...where'd I put that recipe??? Some things never change! =]
