Quiltathon

Today was another of Judy's Quiltathon days. (Patchworktimes.com) I decided to participate and failed miserably. Fortunately there are no Quiltathon police in my area. Just so you know, I do have wonderful excuses:
1. There was a breeze out on my back porch this morning so I grabbed my book and coffee and read while enjoying hearing the wind rustling the trees.
2. I had to answer several e-mails.
3. It was lunch time.
Finally I made my way to my Quilt Studio and started cutting out pieces for the next quilt I hope to make - a pattern by Rosie's Quilt Co. titled Come On-A My House. It uses lots of scraps and has houses, stars and trees - all things I love. About an hour into my cutting I started feeling kind of icky. I sat down at the sewing machine and made some more crumb blocks and then tried the cutting again. No way. My stomach was protesting. Was it something I ate at lunch? I'm hoping the icky feeling will go away soon.

All you Quiltathon people out there I hope you had a productive day. I will be lurking around the blogs green with envy.
