A "ME" Day......

Can't remember the last time I have had a day to myself...Seriously!  When I say "to myself", I mean, I don't have to drive anybody..anywhere... and no one is demanding my time... I don't have to stop what I am doing (quilting related).  Sounds a bit selfish...at least that is the way I usually think.  But, hey, what about me....I just turned 60 years old and  that's the way I am thinking lately.   I deserve to be able to say "NO".  But today I said "YES" I am sewing and if you want to join in, that is wonderful, but I am staying in my quilting room all day. 

Here's what I have been doing...

Michele from The Quilting Gallery  put a call out for quilters to make a wonky scrappy log cabin block to be made into quilts to comfort those affected by Hurricane Sandy.  I live on the Atlantic Coast so I know about hurricanes.  I have lived through a few in my many days and they are a horrifying experience.  It's the least I can do.    As I was sitting on the floor deciding (loving) on which scraps I would use for this project QuiltyHub snapped a pic.  And, I was lamenting to him about the decline of my "SCRASH" and his eyes rolled so far back in his head I thought he must be possessed! The pic above only shows half of my scrap bins!

I also, made an awesome French Onion Soup recipe that I found on Chatelaine site.
