My assistant

Not one to be left out of the creative process, Jack has begun "pressing" my new quilt.  He hasn't cottoned on to the fact that nothing has been sewn together yet............

I have a bucketload of stuff to do today:

• run to the vet to pick up insulin syringes
• grocery shopping
• bathroom cleaning
• vacuuming
• brought home some renewals & quotes to try and get caught up at work
• make something for the craft and bake sale at work next week
• put up Xmas decorations
• walk the dogs

and all I want to do is stay at home in my jammies and play with those red & cream Rouenneries quilt pieces.

Hey, do you know about the Fat Quarter Shop's twitter specials?  Every Wednesday, they post a 50% off coupon code for a specific fabric collection.  If you use the coupon code when you checkout, you get half off ANYTHING you've purchased from the collection:  fat quarter bundles, jelly rolls, layer cakes, charms and yardage.  I look forward to it every week!  You can link to their twitter account by using the Jolly Jabber blog button off to your right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The coupon code is only good for a few days.  This week, she had American Jane's Punctuation collection on special.  I ordered about 9 yards of fabric.  I have no idea what I'll use it for but it was too summery and cute to resist.
