IT'S ONLY WORDS...

This contest is now closed.   

I can be WORDY and today I get to be just that
for this "IN YOUR WORDS" blog hop. 
The WORDS in my projects will tell you
about me, but first, thanks to Linda over at 
Buzzing and Bumbling for
cheering us on with her WORDS
and of course to Madame Samm 
who is never without WORDS in our

Now, I'm about to get WORDY and you 
will know more about me when I shut up!

Living all my life in Ohio, I am a fanatic fan for
The Ohio State Buckeyes!!!
I made this fun little quilt to show some 
spirit..for those cold winter days!

Snowmen in red work standing under some 
Buckeye Trees are holding letters 
that spells it all out for Buckeye Fans
 O - H -I - O
A fun scarlet and gray border finishes it perfectly!
This OHIO Snowman pattern is by Debra at Life is a Stitch Blog
She has the pattern if you'd like to order one.

And some of my Buckeye Buddies are enjoying
their own celebration of the 
Buckeyes 12 - 0 season  in 20121

Here is a close up of my handiwork
I have made several of these as "gifts"
for Buckeye Fever friends.

I don't usually care for those WORD panels you see at 
quilt shows...however this one caught me eye beacause
it really does tell you a lot about ME!

I bought it to make a purse to take to my guild
meetings and FABRIC shopping!
I just added some fabric from my stash.

WORDS about ME!!!

"Common Threads" is the name my local guild.

 And this is really the WORDS

 that caught my eye for the purchase.

I have been a member for 5 years, 

served on many committees and ran a couple challenges.

The last two years I served as 

Co-Vice Presedent, then Co-President.

I am about sharing the quilting obsession!

I wish I would have kept a list of ALL the quilt shops 
I have been in across the country.
My husband says... 
"OUR vacations are planned via QUIlT SHOP routes!"
He's drives me right to the door
of any quilt shop the GPS will find!

Just bring on the handcuffs....(wink)
It is criminal the amount of fabric I have in my stash!
5 bookcases, 5 shelves each are stuffed full!

hmmmm where are your friends
when you REALLY need them?
Probably ripping out their own mistakes!


 

I love to shop...and fabric is my BIGGEST weakness.

As I continue to purchase more and more fabric

I don't need....I just tell everyone 

It is a "retirement" investment. 

And because you hopped over today...
I have a WORD you will ENJOY
"GIVEAWAY"

40 + 2 1/2" batik strips

Anyone can win!!!
