End of March Already!

I can't believe it has been 2 months since I posted anything.  I was going to post weekly, kind of journaling my quilting.  It seems my quilting life has taken a back seat to my Track life.  Yes, Track has started.  Our first meet was last Monday...cold, snow, and all.  Yes, I said snow.  We had a few flurries at the meet, but it snowed pretty good on the way home.  It was cold, but that meet is always cold.  The girls did pretty good.
I have also started beading.  Beading...taking needle, thread, and beads and making jewelry (mostly bracelets).  I have made some scissor fobs to sell at the quilt shop.  I have sold a few.  I am out of the lobster claw hooks that I like for the scissor fobs, so I haven't made any for awhile.  I have to wait until next week when I go to St. Louis and look for some.  I have made some bracelets.  I have gotten several ideas on YouTube on how to make them.  I also have some books.  It has been fun.  It is easy to take with me, as long as I have a place to sit and stitch, preferably with a table to sit at.  I think I see jewelry on everyone's Christmas list this year.
I have been working on my UFO Challenge quilts that are due next month.  I have one quilted, but cannot find the binding (if I made it), so it sits unfinished.  Either have to get some more fabric or look harder.  The second one is taking a long time to quilt.  It is a Trip Around the World.  The squares are about 2" and I am quilting my flowers in every other one.  The others I am trying to quilt with a different design in each color/fabric.  It is just taking me a lot longer than I thought it would.  I need to go quilt tonight.  I want to have it quilted before I go to St. Louis next Wednesday.  I have an away Track meet Tuesday, so can't quilt that night.  That means I need to finish it by Monday night.  I wanted to have Alyce's quilt quilted by then, too.  That way I can work on the bindings while I am in St. Louis.  I will be there Wednesday - Saturday for the AAHPERD Convention.  I am excited.  I have not been to one since I was in Graduate School.  Then it was in New Orleans.  This is the first time that I know of that it has been in Missouri.
I keep loosing stuff.  I can't find my book The Loyal Union Samper Quilt that we are making a quilt from on the second Saturday each month at the quilt shop.  I lost Alyce's quilt top, but I found it.  Guess I will go look some more and then go down stairs to do some quilting.

Happy Quilting!
