Be still my beating heart

The movie trailer for the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace came out.

You can see it at Moviefone.com right here. I need to excuse myself a minute to go fan my face and get a sip of water! That man is outrageously attractive.


OK, better now. In quilty news, I am ready to cut out all the triangles for my Mom's One Block Wonder quilt Spring Garden. I do some extra prep beyond the book's instructions of stacking and straightening the six layers of fabric: I use a contrasting thread and make little tacking stitches by hand through all six layers to really align the motifs. You can see one at the tip of the scissors. Since I have two sets (each set is 24" x 42") of 6 layers of fabric, this was a lot of hand tacking! I cut one set of layers on the length of grain and the other set on the crosswise grain to make sure all the hexagons are different. So once I clean and oil Pollyanna (my Janome 6600), I will be whipping out hexagons. My goal is to have this top done before the kidlets go back to school..... *gulp*. This could be challenging....esp. if I I have to keep taking breaks to watch that darn movie trailer!

You're too funny! Russell Crowe has the same effect on me as your "James Bond". I saw "Master and Commander" 7 times when it first came out, but don't tell anyone!!
You've got me interested in a One Block Wonder quilt. I just bought the book at Joann's.

I can't wait to see this new quilt. The fabric is beautiful.

I'm that way about Matthew McCuddly
(commonly known as Matthew McConaughey). I've seen him interviewed and it's a good thing he looks like that...cause I'm not sure there's anything between his ears. I really didn't want to have a "conversation" with him anyway...just looking is enough....
Is it hot in here?
