Orange Crush Borders and Flowers
Finally, I finished the thinking stage and got on with the doing stage. I have the borders done on my OC, and am ready to make the binding, sew the back, and piece batting if necessary, and send it off to the longarmer. It is quite large, about 103 inches by 88 inches, so should fit a queen sized bed quite well. I'm now almost ready to get started on the StashMystery quilt. 
The flowers my DH (he said DH stands for deadhead) brought home yesterday from the grocery store. I love fresh flowers they really brighten up the house, and I like the colors of these. Sometimes DH stands for darn husband, but now it is standing for dear husband.
A day or two ago DH came in and told me he had read my blog. He was very complimentary, which was very nice to hear. I have shared my blog with my kids and my husband now, and my kids seemed kind of semi-shocked with the blog and the fact that I have a Blackberry, I think they think I'm rather old for such things, but not in a bad way. I know I'm no spring chicken (chook), but I don't think that I am ready to give up gadgets and technology yet. I have always liked gadgets of all kinds, cooking, technology, etc., and I hope that my brain will allow me to enjoy them still for many years to come. I've been semi-coveting an Ipod, but haven't figured out any reason why I would need one. Of course, a few years ago I felt the same about computers, and now I'm an addict, I am thinking maybe I need an intervention. Have a nice day, and enjoy your technology.

Way to go on the orange crush! It must feel great to cross it off your list. Is the long arm quilter doing a pantograph?
That made me smile! I don't think you need an intervention...I think you need an ipod to listen to while you quilt!
Love your finished quilt!
Maybe I would like my quilt more if I sent it to a longarmer too!
Your OC is fantastic! I was dragged into the whole blogging realm by my son and I think he and his friends are still semi-shocked by my stick-to-itiveness with technology in general. That's good, I love to keep 'em guessing about me. If we don't keep up we get left behind, and that is not an option! I can't wait to see your quilt all finished, it will be phenomenal, way to go!
Your OC looks so good, well done you for getting to that stage after your various uncertainties. I look forward to seeing the fully finished article. You keep on with the new technology - my view is that keeping up to date with these things, working out how to use them, problem solving etc is the best way to stave off old age and the poor old brain starting to give up the ghost. I'm feeling the same about an iPod - want one, but can't really justify it yet. Keep working on it!!
Your OC is beautiful! This is the first one I have seen finished. Yes, you need an Ipod. I got one recently and love it! Grandkids thought it was odd for me to have one. LOL
Hi Candace
I have just had a lovely time catching up on your last few posts. I have been busy and then got a rather nasty case of sinus....but I am back with a vengence!
Your Orange crush quilt is huge and just gorgeous! Well done!
My husband is a 'darling' husband most of the time...sometimes 'dopey' husband....lol....
Theya re all like that! But we couldn't live without them!
Take care
Vanessa
Your OC is wonderful! I really enjoyed making mine and am looking forward to Bonnie's next mystery. Be sure to post your quilt when you get it back from the quilter, I love to see them quilted too!
oh I love the orange crush! and the flowers are so pretty ..good for you..your hubby is one heck of a guy! I have the ipod and not the blackberry, been eyeing that though!!! my kids think I am too old too and I am only in my fifties...
Hi Candace,
You go girl! Great job of getting your OC done! Can't wait to see it quilted. I'm dragging my feet on my OC... still working on the borders.
An Ipod is a good idea; you can listen to music while sewing.
Your Orange Crush really turned out nice, and pretty flowers from your DH .... nice guy!!!! My daughter and her friends were here the other day, and her friends were all SHOCKED that I have a blog..how funny!!! Guess we have it going on :-)!
Your OC looks wonderful. And the flowers do too!! :-)
I am very impressed. This is just gorgeous. Your husband is a sweetie, too.
