Yay! Good News!

I have good news! My husband and I both found jobs! Yay! That means we can move out of my parent's house soon and pretty soon I'll be able to spend more money on fabric! Double-Yay! I should have news by the end of the week if I can get a second job also. I'm crossing my fingers for a second job that will allow me to quilt. Don't laugh, they are out there!

Now that the job search is over, I'll have more time to quilt. I know that sounds ridiculous, but without a job I spend more time looking for one than actually quilting. It will be a lot easier when I get my own space too! But that doesn't mean I haven't been working on anything!



I finished the paper-pieced Christmas trees for my Mystery BOM from Esther's Blog. I had to do 12 of them. Haven't trimmed them down yet. It's always the trimming where I mess up paper piecing.

A new block came out Tuesday that I'm excited to get started on. Only problem is that I don't have the red fabric or fusible webbing I need to do it. It will be my first time using fusible webbing though so I'm pretty stoked. I never realized there was applique you didn't have to sew.

I'm always the last person to know!



I also worked a bit on a neck warmer for my step-mom. She uses hers every night and totally wore out her last one. I used this really pretty purple fabric I had, but regret that now. It's cheap-o fabric that doesn't hold the stitch that well and also doesn't hold heat as well. I think I have some old pink and purple PJ's in my stash that I'll cut up to make her another one. Purple is her favorite color.

Besides that, I've been ridiculously busy with the Fall into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaway! How fun! I've been blog-hopping like crazy! My follow list has quadrupled, easily. There were even some blogs I found who I thought were on my list, but weren't. Make sure to check it out and to sign up for some of the amazing giveaways being offered!

Next time I post I hope to have more to show! Until then,

Happy Hopping!
