Yay!! Desktop Fabric Printing ...... it WORKED !!!!!!!!

I just used these directions for "Desktop Fabric Printing "  from .....

.....this "Sew-It Today"  magazine  to print out the words to "Cowboy's Lullaby" onto....

....a piece of cotton muslin (paper on left;  fabric on right). !!!!  ..... I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked !!!!!

 I came across "Cowboy's Lullaby" while watching  a rerun of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman and thought it was such a sweet lullaby .....especially since my niece and her cowboy hat wearing hubby are expecting their first baby (a boy) in September !!  And, since her baby shower is next week, and, as usual, I haven't even started a baby quilt yet .......

.... I decided to at least try and get a little quilted wall hanging finished (using the printed fabric lullaby as the center).    So,  what do you think ?   (hopefully I'll be able to finish the real wall hanging and not have to give her this scribbled drawing  .........)

Be back soon!

There's nothing like a finished project ...... there's nothing like a finished project .... there's nothing like a finished project .....

 Wouldn' t that be GREAT !!!!!  (saw this on facebook )

 

Anyway,  I'm still here ..... treading water to keep up with the day job ...... and not much else these days ....... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!   (and I've got LOTS of quilt tops finished that I need to quilt and bind and give to their very patient recipients !!!)  

 

Be back soon!

Instant Gratification Sunday ....... new quilting magazines !!!

Well, two long work weeks and the 2nd paperwork marathon weekend in a row makes for ZERO time (again) for any sewing ........so, to keep from going completely out of my mind, I did snag these 3 quilting magazines while out doing errands , and they are my dose of "Instant Gratification" to break the mind numbing monotony of the endless paperwork/laptop documentation  marathon that is a constant in my life as a home care physical therapist .......UGH !!!!!!   Magazines and .....

doodling on this napkin ..... that about sums up the weekend .......

Here's hoping I can hire a monkey who knows how to  type so I can get some free time to sew  ( I have half finished quilts by the truck loads,  and a baby quilt to start/finish by the 4th of July ..... also graduation quilts WAY over due!!!)   ......and I miss blogging (that's fun typing that I don't mind!).

Be back soon !
