This is what was on my design wall last post. The quick pieced charity quilt for my guild. I finished the piecing today so it goes into the pile for quilting.

When I had it all laid out on the wall...I thought ..That looks odd. I know it is just a simple block but something looked odd. I stared at it for some time before I realised that these blocks below are not the same. They have two different prints in each block and the blocks above have one print fabric in each block. Each has a very different look and looked odd when put together, or at least I thought so. I think I will stitch up three more odd blocks and finish a lap or baby quilt with it. The charity quilts will have to wait for a while to be finished, I have other things that must be done first.
I quilted up a top today but, the battery's in my camera died so no more photos today.

Times are changing. I had a hair cut today, a hair cut and shampoo is $14.95 and a shampoo, cut, and style ( blow dry in my case ) is $17.95. Three dollars for you hair to be dried. I just did not want to go out side in the cold air with wet hair. I don't remember having that charge the last time I had my hair cut? I go there because I like the girls that work there and because I do not have to make a appointment, I can just walk in and usually get right in and right out. Once in a while there is a short wait but never long. I have tried other places but, end up back there because I like the girls and the convenience. I probably pay more for the convenience of not needing to make a appointment but, three dollars to have your hair dried kind of made me feel like I was being nickle and dimed. Something I will be thinking about.

When you have a customer service based business. Do you want them to feel like they are being nickled to death? I don't think so.
