Mine has hit me pretty hard. Work has been top of mind lately - mainly looking for a new job. I'm still looking but things have settled somewhat and sewing and blogging relax me so here I am!<br />

I'm not getting a lot done lately. I've been battling bronchitis again, but thankfully, not as bad as last year! The new job is going well. I'm finally settling in and my probation is up the first of October so I'm pretty happy about that. <br />
<br />
Had happy hour with my Jaguars peeps on Thursday. Love these girls! <br />

For some reason, Labor Day always triggers a Fall state of mind. At this point, I really feel like decorating for Halloween! This is a cute 10 minute table runner kit I bought last weekend at the retreat. There are several sites online for making it, but it's incredibly easy (just google 10 minute table runner).<br />

Started a new job and I'm now learning all about board and committee meetings, not to mention a whole new world of the hospital system. Seems so far from my football world - but everyone has been very nice and easy to work with. <br />
<br />
Cinnamon's had a Fall quilt retreat this weekend and I was able to get this little baby (ha! get it?) finished. It's a commission quilt for one of our former ROAR members, Laurie. She's having a little boy. I really love how it turned out. Now to get the backing and have it quilted. <br />

While I was searching the internet today for a binding tutorial, I found this great YouTube channel from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCraftyGemini" target="_blank">The Crafty Gemini</a>. Vanessa has a lot of videos ranging from quilting to cooking to gardening. She also has a <a href="http://craftygemini.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. <br />
<br />
I was very impressed with her presence on camera. Some quilting videos leave a LOT to be desired both in quality and teaching. However, she was very professional and I could see exactly what she was doing. I ended up watching both the binding tutorial as well as how to make a mini ironing board. <br />
<br />
Ok, I'm off to finish the binding on a quilt or maybe even make a mini ironing board. ;-)<br />

I love making this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU" target="_blank">pattern</a>. It's known as the Jelly Roll Race quilt. It's so easy and quick and makes a great quilt to give as a gift. <br />

We were just there to help with the framing. The rest will be done after we leave. Can't wait to see the finished product. It should also be noted that this house sits at an elevation of 6,000 ft. The air was pretty thin.<br />
<br />
In between the construction, our friend, Rick and I took a little hike to the back of their property. This is what they call a Technical Hill:<br />

I was so happy at the way this was turning out - until I realized - yes, I have the koozie upside down. Ugh!! It was my first time using the koozies and I think they stitch out beautifully. Well, if the design is right side up that is! You can find them <a href="http://www.sewforless.com/search.php" target="_blank">here</a>. I think I paid $1.09. This one is for a water bottle.<br />
<br />
It has been a crazy month. After 11 years with the Jaguars I'm leaving to take a job with the Baptist Health Foundation here in town. I'm very excited about this opportunity but very sad about leaving my team. However, when opportunity knocks, you have to answer. <br />
<br />
More later. I actually got another quilt done can you believe it?<br />

I love this fabric! It's called Oink-A-Doodl-Moo from Moda. Perfect for a little boy don't you think?<br />

I'm on Day 11 and finally starting to feel better - but boy, did it kick my butt!<br />
<br />
I did manage to get the binding on this quilt:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was the quilt I started at the Holly Jolly retreat in November. I really like how it came out and even went a little out of my comfort zone and did a two tone border and scrappy binding. I'll try and have a couple more pictures when I can get outside.<br />
<br />
Hasn't this Spring been something? Here in Florida we got down to 38 last night! My friend is here with her family from Illniois on Spring Break. I feel really bad that the weather is so chilly. Although, I guess it beats the snowstorm in the midwest!<br />
<br />
That's about all I have for now. More later!<br />

Eleanor was very accommodating to everyone. She walked around the room saying hello, signing autographs and at the end of class she took pictures with everyone. <br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Talk to you soon.<br />

This year so far, we've hired a new General Manager, a new Coach and coaching staff and last week they unveiled our new team logo. <br />

I'm Back!Yikes, where did this month go? Well, I'll tell you. We hired a new GM, a new coach and a new coaching staff. That's where I've been. <br />
<br />
During all this craziness, we've celebrated Christmas, my birthday, and New Year's. <br />
<br />
I hinted about a new Singer in a previous post. My sister-in-law, Suzie, has an estate sale business in Bloomington, IL. Mom spotted this lovely before Christmas on her <a href="http://mandjestatesales.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and asked me if I wanted it for my birthday. Yes, please!<br />

The serial number puts the date around 1950. The lady that owned this took very, very good care of it and according to Suzie, used it to make many quilts. Look at the bobbin case! Pay no attention to the dust and lint. I'm in the process of cleaning it. <br />

My mom and I. I have no idea how old I was in this picture but I love it. As a gift this year, she made me not one, but two scrap books full of pictures of my life. I cherish these. Thank you mom, because if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be celebrating today.
