Lets Start the Week with a Smile, A Flannel Smile!

Monday, the beginning of a new week. Summer is zooming along, kids are getting ready to go back to school and the quilters are lining up their projects for Fall. A Monday is like a fresh slate, I make my to-do list and by Friday I am thrilled if two projects get addressed. That's OK, two is better than none. 

 Do you know what happens when you put flannel, pelon fusible and Sew and Sew member Linda together? You get this wild and crazy Happy Quilt! Something like a happy dance only sewn rather than stepped! This is the top of Linda's quilt from the class we took a couple months ago. I really like the way she put her blocks together. We were provided the pre-fused flannel and told to do what we wanted with all the circles.  Linda used full white circles for her faces and cut others for ears and mouth, each combination created features and expressions. This is very innovative and shows a creative talent that she tries to minimize with her modesty. I love it and I know some dear child will too.
this little dude on the right looks like he is wearing polarized sunglasses and a headband from 1989!

Top left, the smile looks like a kiddo in braces and wearing a ball cap. the lady to his right, with the green zig-zag hair looks like she is hot in the sun! Feel free to come up with your own stories for each of these blocks.
A day of questions:
  • I may have been looking at these too much, am I giving them personalities?
  • I hope I never get the urge for hair extensions, I just saw an ad for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey!" Between that and the fake tans and Ta-Ta's I am not going to be able to sleep. Is that judgmental? (I don't care.)
  • My watch batteries are all dead, again. Really irritating. I really never minded winding a watch, did you? Who decided they all needed batteries anyway?
  • The spiders are in hyper-speed right now. Between the giant webs out on the porches and the little intruders who make little stringy webs while I sleep. What is up with that? Like wire hangers multiplying in the back of the closet, how do they do that?
  • I've decided to wait on a kitchen redo. After looking at a hundred cabinet styles, an equal number of counter top stone, I still don't know what I want to do. I can't stand the mess. How sad is that?
