A couple of weeks ago, I turned in my two week notice to Jackson Hewitt. I timed it just perfectly so I would only have to work one more day. I was only working on Sundays, but I really was growing to despise the job. I'm not a fan of whiny jerk off people, and I had to deal with a lot of them there. I also hated losing a day from my weekends. So last Sunday was my last day there.

For quilt club we have something called a fat quarter challenge. (A fat quarter is 1/4th of a yard of fabric, so it measures 18 x 22) This year the project was to submit a "quilt on a stick." We got the fabric and a stick and could make anything we wanted as long as the sewn part was smaller then 10 x 10 inches and we used at least one square inch of the challenge fabric. I had a grand vision for what I would create. It did not turn out as grand as I'd hoped... much less grand in fact. But here it is. The challenge fabric is the shirt fabric. I also used part of my stick to make the tree trunk. There is a hole on the bottom of the square for the other part of the stick to go into. Part of the challenge was that the project needed to me submitted in a pot on the stick, so the stick holds the project up. I have another idea I might try to do. The projects will be on display at the library for all of March and then will be up during the quilt show in April.

Richard correctly named last weeks tune as "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin. Nice work Rich. I didn't even know you read this. This week's song is from the first and self titled album of a band that came out in the 70's. Your hynt is thyt the bynd lykes Ys.
