On a Roll!

Here is the 3rd quilt I have completely 100% done :)  A true American Patchwork Quilt :)  (like they used to make back in the day, lol)

Second quilt finished

This is the second one I have completely done!  It's the size for a crib or a baby.  I love it!
(the backing is a dark purple)


Ugh...

Why is it that men (most of them anyway) don't think housework is a full time job?  Anyone who cooks, cleans, does laundry, takes care of kids/dogs knows that it's a full time job.  I bust my ass every day to keep a clean house with two shedding dogs and to get no appreciation for it is very upsetting.  Especially when my other half thinks I only work about 20 hours throughout the week in the house to keep it clean!  And weekends?  I don't get a weekend!  Yeah, he works 40 hours a week... I work 40 hours + without a day off.  He gets 3 days off and doesn't even lift a finger to help.  Nope, according to him since I don't have a paying job, it's my job to wait on him hand and foot and clean his castle every single day.  I'm really starting to feel like a maid... Not an equal... Not a girlfriend...

Sorry for my b*tchy attitude... I just needed to vent a little.  I guess I'll play dirty and leave his clothes for him to wash, he can wash his own dishes that he uses, he can pack his own lunch and start his own pickup before work and he can get his own glass of water.

I finally did it...

I finally finished my first ever ~100% done~ quilt!  It's such a great feeling :)



















I had originally made this one for our bed but I didn't measure before I got my fabric.  It will fit a Twin bed nicely though with over-hang.  I think I'm going to do some research and see about selling some of my quilts on Etsy for sure :)

Have a great day all!
