Next on the agenda .....

SHEESH !!! Another week has gone by and not much progress around here at MBIAJ. The Sewing and Quilting Dept has OVER DUE projects coming out of their ears ..... partly finished and half started "brilliant" ideas ALL OVER THE PLACE !!! So, this weekend we are TRYING to FOCUS and ZERO IN on the next thing that we really need to get moving on !!! .... and that would be starting the BELATED (of course!) graduation quilt for .....




.....Moonbeams Boy Evan













.....here's the rough design / sketch / and colors (all approved of by Evan). The number 595 at the bottom of the quilt is his dirtbike racing number; the bright green is the color of his dirtbike; and the "M" in the top right corner is the logo for Monster Energy Drink which is apparantly what cool dirtbike riders drink (or at least the ones I know)


....hoping this nifty circle ruler / gadget will be helpful for all of those circles !


....spent some time last night with tracing paper, graph paper and a BIG eraser trying to figure out dimensions, etc ....




.....then went through the EXTENSIVE (really - you have NO idea how extensive ) stash to find what will hopefully be viewed as "cool" fabrics


for the front of the quilt ....


....and then some fun stuff for the back of the quilt because Moonbeams Boy Evan is an UNBELIEVABLE drummer !!!! (seriously ROCKS !!!) and ....



....an organic vegetable gardener extraordinaire who takes those veggies ...


....and cooks delicious stuff !!! (He can also whip up all kinds of yummy pasta dishes, homemade granola from his own recipe, and COOKIES - yummy cookies !)

OK ..... better get back to the drawing board and FOCUS - this quilt isn't gonna make itself ya know ! (and P.S. I know the "M" is a registered trade mark for Monster Energy drink and would never reproduce it on a quilt for sale .... this is a quilt just for Evan).

Be back soon!
