gas prices friday!!
we are just 4 cents away from hitting $4 a gallon. this is actually an improvement, as i noticed wed. that the price was $3.99. what are some of the prices around the country? i have heard that chicagoland has some of the highest gas prices in the u.s, but i dont know....
i am feeling kind of strange right now, i dont have a swap that needs working on! it feels kind of nice tho. i have mailed out the last two swaps i entered this past week, both the lemonade stand doll quilt swap and the 6"-12" quilt swap. which leaves my little coin quilt that i started last month. it is the first quilt i have made especially for me. i am working on the hand quilting, and hope to be done tomorrow with that, and possibly get to binding it this weekend. i decided to quilt it with circles. i will post a pic when its done.
just a pic of the sun going down across the street.
jill tagged me for a meme, so here goes
The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

This was my first meme and seemed like fun! Thanks for participating! It's neat to see what the answers are.
I'll have to check out the gas prices here while I'm out today. I think it was $3.67 the other day.

Hey, thanks for the tag. I'll try to get to it before the weekend is out! Gas here...3.79 except at Costco..3.67. I'm waiting to see your quilting on your quilt. I'd love to see how you are doing your circles. Have a great weekend.

thanks girls! could you let us know what state you are in? the prices seem comparable. i mean that is not that much out of line.
as for the circles, i just grabbed every round object at hand and tried to fill in the space. it was fun, i am almost done, so am hoping to show you tonight.
