Turkey day all gone

Hear it is Saturday and Turkey day is all over and most of the left over are gone. Roy and I had roasted chicken and all the trimmings . We did leave out all the fancy deserts . I did get a no sugar added pie and made a small applesauce cake. I didn't over eat so I feel good about that . I didn't go shopping on Black Friday but I thought about it . Jo Ann had some pretty good deals but nothing I really couldn't do without. I am hoping to hear something about my camera soon so maybe I can post some pictures. It is a good thing that I got a extra warranty . I have been working on some gifts for friends and family I have been making candle rugs or mats these are large (10-12 in.) blocks and you machine or hand quilt. I also got them a candle to put on it. We don't buy for each other each family is buying for there own family and now a days it is hard to keep up on bills. I have been bless all my children are still working but one and he is still on unemployment . I also have made two (out of the three I need) fleece blankets that you tie around the edges . These are for the little kids for christmas . The day is getting on and I have not had breakfast so I better go as I have a lot to do today. All take care and till the next time . Your friend Sharon

Hello to all you out there. My name is Sharon and I am new to this . I have been to a lot of blogs and always wanted to make one my self so here I am. I am not sure what I am doing so bare with me. I started quilting about 8 years ago and my first quilt was for my granddaughter and it was a Irish chain in pink and purple. My Aunt Elna is a quilter and she helped me show me how to rotary cut and how to match my seams. The quilt was beautiful . That was all it took and I was on a roll. I started doing a sampler quilt to help me learn more about different blocks. When I started out I had a small space in the bedroom for my sewing I think I had wall space of 6ft area I had a place for sewing machine and a table for cutting and storage . I made a lot of quilts in that little space , the bed was where I layed out the blocks to see how it would look. We have moved since then and we now have two bedrooms and one is a computer and sewing room. It is nice sometimes we will both be in here me sewing and him on the computer. I am retired and I love it . I sometime fell I still don't have a enough time to do everything I want to do I guess you do what you can. I like to quilt and sew in the mornings I fell my best them and by night my eyes are getting tired and I make more mistakes then. I think I will post this and see what happens . Take care all who read this and my God bless Sharon from Indiana
