Some of my friends make fun of me because I sew. Maybe not just because I sew, but I meet up with a group of women and sew. Some of those friends call it the QUILT PALOOZA (you know who you are) and they have been known to call it other things too.
I have a quilt class I attend once a month called the block of the month and we make a new block each month, in one year you should have enough blocks for a quilt top. I make the blocks but I never finished the quilt!!
I have so many projects started but not finished, I can't even remember them all.
There must be something very weird about me because most everyone else finishes theirs and brings them back to class and shows them off. Not me!! I just want to get started on the next one. This black and white quilt top is almost done; it needs borders on all sides and then it will be ready to finish the quilting process. I started it 3 years ago, see what I mean.
So this is a new year at the block of the month and this is my first block. I am going to try very hard to finish my quilt top with the rest of the ladies, and they will all be
shocked!!!
Everyone makes the same block each month, but guess what, yes you’re right, I don't always. Sometimes I don't like the block they are making and sometimes it is too hard. A hobby should not be hard, it should always be fun!!
Well, I'm rambling on now, sorry. I just wanted to share this with you because it is one of the things I love and when those friends refer to the PALOOZA you will know what they mean.

Aaahh mom, you know we think your sewing is cute! I really like that new quilt block. Maybe someday I will have a quilt from you...if you ever finish one!
How awful that these "friends" make fun of your Quiltfests or Quiltapaloozas!!! Just let us(Me, Craig and Marlene) know who they are and we will knock some sense into them. By the way, the Quiltapalooza at the Tucson Convention Center is fast approaching. Are you going to stay with us when it arrives?
