Make up your mind~!

Have you heard that comment before? Make up your mind!...wow! lets' see....hummm..yes, I have! We can all make the list!
Today I worked on my Prairie Claws Quilt pattern using my now favorite tool idol-- square in a square..I cut the fabric out..got the piles going!...now tomorrow is the big day! sew it together!!
This evening I spent time studying on my Fons' and Porter site; if you join there, you can watch the archive instruction videos as many times as you want to..it is great! they even included me in a decision and survey on picking out the next cover for the issue of their magazine! I am excited to see which one will be picked by them of the three choices they gave; I will give you a hint on what I picked out..blue..

I have always been in love with history.
When I was a kid, I would hop on my older sister (Judys) 24 inch bike ( I could not sit on the seat at age 4 when I started riding it and I continued to stand for many years before I sat on the seat!). I would head to the library when I was old enough to go uptown by myself. I headed to my favorite fiction and history section of the all quiet atmosphere and carefully choose my book (most probably an Alcott selection) and then found a chair at a table..There I would sit and get into the book before heading back home..I came from a big family and it was nice to sit in a quiet place once in awhile!...anyways!
I tried to pass that love of history onto our own kids as they were growing up ,and I think we did a pretty good job of getting them all hooked! Now, I am middle age and so wanting to do a Dear Jane Quilt.
I had heard of her a couple years ago but have not been able to start up for one reason or another, but tonight when I was "mama surfing" the web before my video study with f&p I found the coolest blog in Australia and in her list of folks who have written her there was a gal that was working on a Dear Jane Quilt! I immediately added both of their blogs to my tumblr site and was inspired to hit the road with Jane!!!...why not?! we grew up with "go Jane go" didn't we?, in Dick and Sally books! haha
Ok! so a little crazy has hit I know!!(maybe it was the Italian cooking competition I also watched while viewing the first video)!
I am so thankful for the sunshine that was glistening across our pond (that the rain has made into a threatening lake)..... And I see it is promised for tomorrow. sunshine that is!..and then we have to pray for no rain and snow for the next day! Will the weather please make up its' mind!!!
Oh, by the way!!! HAPPY SPRING!!!!
Ok, so One day at a time!! yes, an old song, but a true one for sure!!.....Hope you are dry and safe wherever you may roam!
(pause)
So, I have made up my mind for tomorrow, have you?.... Just call me Jane.
Quilted Blessings!!! Kari
