Here goes...
I did a lot of quilting this past weekend. So much that I ran out of thread. When you run out of thread it's always a good idea to stop and paint your toenails to match the color of your missing thread..
And speaking of nail polish... I really like this color on my fingernails but I can't remember the name of it right now. I'll edit and tell you the name later.
After painting my toenails I stumbled on this heading back up the stairs. These two are double trouble and I'm positive that Buddy was whispering the next plot to Gus.
I finally finished quilting so I took a pretty picture.
Be very wary of blogger's pretty pictures. A lot of the time it looks like this in the background...
Monday night is judo night and Chaney is very serious about her judo. She's the yellow belt. The white blur is a boy several inches taller and probably 20 pounds heavier than she is. I'm impressed. Judo is 80% leverage, 10% strategy, and 10% scrappiness. Chaney inherited an overabundance of scrap from me.
Those poor boys...
I spotted this on my way to meet a client. I work in a smaller town that is full of creativity. There is a never ending supply of murals, crocheted light posts, jazz festivals, etc...
And finally, I cheated on my quilt along and fell asleep under my new Giant Granny Panties {quilt}. The quilt along isn't finished yet but my quilt is and I took full advantage of that!
Happy Really Random Thursday!

Your quilting looks great! As do your toes :-) I always enjoy seeing other people with messy craft spaces. Sometimes they look so clean it is like they aren't used. Your's looks properly used. And yay for scrappy girls doing Judo!
cheers

Love the quilting on your giant granny! I have to say I misread the bit further down first time and was quite impressed that you had judo matches in your sewing room... ;o)
This has to be my favorite quilting of all the quilts you have made! That dog picture is precious - they are so cute!
Very fun! And your quilting is fabulous! Did I say "happy birthday the other day, or just think it? If not, happy belated birthday! Also, guess what?!? I finally finished piecing the "twin-sized" Chasing Chevrons today! I laid it out on my king-sized bed and it went over the edges! My brother said my nephew is going to love it (and he loved the design - well done!). Now I just have to practice free-motion quilting so I can quilt it properly. (I'm very open to suggestions - I was thinking about Angela Walters' hooked swirl design, if I can learn it, in the background, and maybe echoing or outlining the chevrons, since I'd like them to come forward a bit. I'll post a few pics on my blog!
Love the quilting on your Granny. Nice texture.
Really beautiful quilting ~ I'm so impressed.
Love your dogs ~ they do look like double trouble!
Way to go Chaney!!!
I've never used Essie--that is a cool color.
LOVE the behind-the-scenes photo!
And way to go, Chaney. Beware of this girl!
