This time next week...

 I will be HERE!!! It's Big Cedar Lodge and Resort in southern Missouri. And it's AMAZING!



My husband and I went to Big Cedar for our honeymoon and stayed in a private cabin. It was the most relaxing week ever. I have begged to go back every year since, but considering we got married during the Christmas Holiday season the rates are pretty substantial that time of year. Alas, I convinced him to go back this fall. Oh yes, I did good!

Finish and WIP

HEY! I finished up the binding on my Jelly Roll Quilt last weekend. Put it through the wash and dryer and now it's absolutely perfect! I do believe it belongs in a cute little girls room though. I might just have to stash it away for a gift sometime. We'll see!

Here is a close up of the quilting. I had it done by Dixie Decker here in Wichita. It's an all over feather design, I think she did great and it makes the quilt really pop.

On another note, I made a "To Do" list while sitting in a 4 hour meeting yesterday. (Don't judge, I had to stay awake somehow.) I have 12 current "work in process" right at the moment. Scary once you list them all out isn't it! None of them are huge undertakings so I set my goal for all to be finished before Jan 1st. I'll definetly keep you all posted on that progress! I'm thinking my machine and I will either be best buds or dreaded enemies before it's all said and done. lol.

P.S. I signed up to be part of the next quilt along hosted by Moose on the Porch. This time we are using a layer cake instead of a Jelly Roll. Should be a great time!
