New Obsession

The boys got an Xbox 360 for Christmas and it came with 2 free games, Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones Lego. I love the Indiana Jones game. I have been steadily working at getting all the treasures and guys and everything you can! Rich and the boys are laughing at me because I have never played a video game with this much intensity. I have about half the game beat and am diligently working on the other half, which would explain why no sewing is getting done around here!

Today I plan on getting started on quilting T's guitar quilt. In fact I am going to - No more Indaina Jones till I get his quilt done. I hate this part of quilting so that is why I tend to procrastinate. But I need to do this and get it done!

Also, I joined Robyn at daisyquilts in an adventure. She started Quilts 4 Hearts, an organization that donates quilts to children in need of open heart surgeries. She works with a mission group called Hearts of Hope who help children with heart disease in poverty stricken countries get the medical care and surgeries they need. Many of you know that I have congenital heart disease and this I just have to do. There was no question about it. And I am proud to announce that in working with Robyn I will be the contact for the United States/Canada. Please check out the website and consider donating to this great cause!


And its raining here again. I am off to do a small bit of blog reading and the to quilt the guitars.
Stay dry and warm!

Thank you for visiting. I'm no good at these games, i've tried and tried. The latest was some adventure on a desert island, you had to go round picking things up, except that I kept forgetting to keep the fire alight so died of hypothermia at night and lost everything....

What can I do to help re: quilts for hearts? I'll take a look at the link!
Thanks for commenting on my blog! Give the embroidery a try! I think you'll like it and it's a very portable hobby!

The quilting 4 hearts seems like a great cause...I'll check it out!

Nice of you to take on this cause, sounds like a good one with children involved.

I have been trying to get past the last section of the game "ZUMA" now forever and ever. Don't think it is going to ever happen! SIL says it does have a end but I am doubtful!

Hi Sara,

I'm interested in donating a quilt. Will the quilts that are donated "this side of the pond" stay in North America or go elsewhere? Not that it matters, I'm just curious.
