Thursday Thoughts

• I have been quilting every night this week.
• I know, it's an honest-to-goodness Easter Miracle.
• Including a big bunny hopping around my sewing room.
• But that may have just been Sam dressed up in an old princess costume with some bunny ears her Nana gave her last weekend.
• These things don't faze me anymore.
• It's probably sacrilegious to say it but my favorite part of Easter is that it means you can buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cup eggs.
• Forget those circle 2-packs, the egg is where it's at.
• I may or may not have had 4 (OK five) of them so far.
• Since Wednesday.
• I stopped giving up chocolate and wine for Lent years ago.
• But I don't think the miracle would have happened without the aroma of chocolate and peanut butter lingering in the air and on my lips.
• That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
• Anyways now that the religious portion of this post is over, here's a little of what I've been working on:

• I watched Jenny's video over at Missouri Quilt Co. on using their Wacky Web template to make a spiderweb quilt, and was hooked. 
• It was very cool.
• I had several charm packs of Kate Spain's Good Fortune on hand.
• Added a little Kona Ash for the background, and away I went!
• I'm still piecing.
• And piecing.
• And piecing.
• This is a simple, but time consuming quilt.
• Especially since I want to make it King size for my new bed.
• Oh yeah, did I mention we're (DH and I, not the kids, although Sam seems to think she's included in all bed purchases for some crazy reason) getting a new bed delivered tomorrow?
• We are.
• Hooray!
• Maybe now neither of us will roll out of bed bent in half from back/joint/old-age-sets-in-early-when-you-have-kids pain.
• I'll let you know.
• In the meantime, I'll still be strip-piecing away on this quilt. 
• What's a little annoying with the charm packs and strip-piecing is that you run out of the colors or prints you like most very quickly.
• I almost wish they'd let you custom-make your precuts using the fabrics you like most, or want the most of.
• Somebody get to working on that for me, OK?
• Thanks!
• Have a great weekend...check for a new podcast episode by Sunday.
• I know, the Easter miracles just keep coming don't they?
