In exactly one month from today, my sister and I will be having a busy weekend! It starts on Friday evening, November 21st. My sister will be driving up from Austin and meeting me at work so right at 5 pm, we can leave and head to Nokia Live Theatre to see these guys!
Be sure to listen to both songs on the video! I love little Damian on the second song!
Then either very very late on Friday night, like midnight, or first thing Saturday morning we will be seeing this...........FINALLY!!!
I can hardly wait....the month of November is full of great things - the concert, Twilight movie, Thanksgiving, the extra day off of work and the weekend BEFORE all this, the weekend of the 14-16th I am going to Conroe to visit my college roomie, Steffany and we are going to the Nutcracker Market in Houston. Here is their website, Houston Ballet - says over 300 national and international merchants will be in attendance. Yeah!! I will be loving the month of November.....
Oh, yeah, and DH's birthday is at the end of the month too!! Whew, I am tired already!

Hi Becky! I'm so glad to hear from you on my blog...you've been away for a while.
Not sure who those "guys" are, but they seem Gaelic? Who are they?
OHOHOH! There are a group of us that will be seeing Twilight when it comes out too! I just finished the last book a couple of nights ago. Big sigh.
ps: I'll email you when I develop those photos from my Sunday walk.
Guess what. I found that pattern this morning. It's amazing what you find when you clean up.
Here is what you need.
9 to 10 fat quarters (I prefer 10 so the fabrics won't be too close together and I have more to choose from)
Inner border - 3/4 yards
Final border - 1 3/8 yards
binding - 3/4 yards
Backing 4 yards
For your fat quarters, you'll need a variety of scale. Big print, medium print, and tiny print.
for the Inner border, it needs to be a dark, contrasting color so it will pop.
Outer border would look nice if it had medium to dark scale print. No strips on the outer border.
For the binding, you can either use the same outer border fabric, or something contrasting so it will pop.
When you choose a backing, I usually try to get something off the 50% rack, since it's so much fabric and can be pricey. I try to find something very soft since it's the part that would be touching you. A different backing idea is to pick a holiday fabric, so you can throw it over and use it as a table cloth at Christmas, Thanksgiving or Halloween.
Have someone at the fabric store help you pick out your fabrics. I do not recommend Wal-Mart or JoAnn's because I personally feel their quilt fabric is lower quality, it won't last as long or feel as good.
The fabric store knows how to make different fabrics look good together. I don't know where you live, but there is a good quilt store in Lewisville that I like a lot.
You can look at my quilt links and entries and find the quilts I made for Allyson's friends. They are the flower ones. I made a purple, pink and green one for 3 different girls. That's the one I would like to make for you, because it's easy and I love how the simple squares show off a pretty fabric real well.
What do you think?
I gotta run. I'm so busy. pant, pant, pant...
I meant, no stripes on the outer border, not strips. LOL I put a stripe, for movement, in every quilt, but stripe for a border is too hard to cut out and line up.

wow, November is going to be a busy month for you!
hey girl!
Can't wait to see you when you're down for the craft fair. Even if it's mostly just Matt hanging with us, it should rock.
