Everyone warned me about glitches...

(Skip the first paragraph if you are allergic to life)

There's been another glitch with the potential house: The bank appraiser is NOT happy with the price, so our realtor is trying to work out something... I'm not entirely sure what's going on since Tim deals with all this stuff, i just know as it stands right now, the bank won't ok anything. SAD PANDA!!!! The upside (I had to find one before I would let Tim hang up) is that the only way we'll get the house now is if the seller lowers the price to something acceptable to the bank, which would mean we would pay less. I'm not holding my breath (but I am praying really hard). I hate being disappointed like this... let's hope that it turns into a better situation... I don't want to end up in another rental or an apartment, but at this point, we don't have time to house hunt-- Tim starts work MONDAY. :/  Worst case scenario, we'd at least be back under the same roof. You know, like a real married couple, not this odd 2 night/week thing that's been going on.

And now back to quilty things... a much happier topic!!!

 The borders are on! Now, I have to figure out how to quilt it... I'm stumped right now. I''m sure an idea will come to me... or the feed dog cover I ordered will come and then I'll play with FMQ some more and THEN get an idea!

Another happy tidbit: We're picking up the treadle tomorrow!!! I've already named it (you know what they say about naming a puppy... I think it applies to sewing machines, too). I'll tell you tomorrow evening.

And, I promised this earlier...

Item #1 in the giveaway.... a fat quarter from one of the local quilt shops!
Like it? FOLLOW for a chance... I'm going to reveal more as it approaches, so stay tuned.
26 Followers is the goal... let's see if we can  reach that goal!

Rest

Only needs borders, then quilting!

Took it out of the hoop to be warmer while hand quilting.

Rest? I'll get to that.

:)

(Maybe tomorrow, you know, when this lack of resting reminds me why I should.)

Hip, hip, hooray!

It's been another productive day-- I finished the second placemat's binding, and typed up the pattern to offer for sale at the craft festival this weekend... I have the documents all ready to print, but I need to find some little bags to put the patterns in...that search led to a trip out, and even though I didn't find the right size baggies, I did get the dowel rods to hang Mom's art (which is next to me, waiting to be bound), and I got the thread to work on Tim's Xmas present.

Hooray for pumpkin placemats!

Upon arriving home, I got busy on the D9P that I had wanted to finish Sunday before Mom's cutting derailed me.... But I got the flimsy done today!!!

Disappearing 9-Patch.

It's almost too organized in color because of the limited prints I used, but I am still happy with the way it came out. It's too hot to quilt it today, but tomorrow looks cooler so perhaps I can still get it done before Saturday.

To top off an already good day, I won a giveaway over on  Cheri's blog ! YIPPEE!!! 

Time to crank up the A/C and work on some more binding...
