Monday Meanderings 1 -11 - 2016

Yep, I'm changing the name for my Monday post to Monday Meanderings.  The content will be pretty much the same -- what I've worked on this past week but I've decided to quit linking to Design Wall Monday.  I find I don't have time to spend looking at large number of posts there and I wonder if many folks are looking at my post. Also, I get frustrated trying to read blogs that are so highly monetized. Everywhere I send my cursor seems to open up an advertising link. Bleh!  Instead, I'll continue to link to several smaller linky parties run by folks who are definitely still interested in quilting.  Time to eliminate that frustration.   (If my statistics seem to go down I may reevaluate but for now that's the plan.) 

I don't have a whole lot to show for last week.  I was busy Saturday and Sunday and got no quilting done at all.  I spent a day or so fussing with Ruthie trying to get her to do something without a lot of luck.  I'll try again this week and see what happens.  Somehow I've gotten three quilts to quilt for customers in the past week.  (Remember, I'm a long arm quilter who doesn't want so many customers that I can't play with my own fabrics!) 

Here are the two hats I embroidered and made for Natalie and Sophie.  You can see the previous hats that turned out to be too small here.  Natalie agreed to give her kitty hat to her cousin Ellie.  I'll suggest to their moms to try the hats on a doll.  (I don't know who ended up with the littlest hat that should have fit Ellie.) Natalie loves her dollies but Sophie has other interests. 

Natalie's 2nd Kitty Hat

Sophie's Monster Hat

Hopefully Sophie won't remember her color choices because other than red and blue and this monster, I don't. These go in the mail today.  Hopefully they'll have them by Wednesday when it is suppose to turn really cold. 

I didn't get a whole lot done on my Goals last week.  Hum, may have spent way too much time on the Internet.
