overload

I went to my first every quilt guild meeting last night. 

I would guess there were about 50+ people there; mostly women but a few men too.

I signed up to help at the quilt show in November. 

I took a kit to make a pillowcase from the community service basket. 

I knew a few people so that was nice.

And I sat and enjoyed seeing some lovely show-n-tell quilts. 

I'm glad I finally was able to make it to a meeting. 

October 1st is the deadline for quilt entry in the show.  I decided to enter 2 quilts (that's the limit).

Stargazing. 

It's completely ready, with hanging sleeve and everything. woohoo. And yes, that was a factor in it getting picked.

And Evening Shadows.

Ah, the binding is not finished and it will need a hanging sleeve... 

I AM going to work on this TODAY. 

Really. 

I'm not just saying this. 

I am.

H. Whiskers is all together and I have the border appliques fused on-just have to blanket-stitch them. Dang nammit I thought I had a picture....ahgggg the brain scatters are going to make me nutzy -er I swear.

I will take a picture TODAY too. 

Really.

I'm not just saying this.

I am.

Edit: Here's the picture.



Stargazing

I just finished quilting my 2010 Shop Hop progressive quilt.

Stargazing 54 x 54

I must say I'm really happy with it.  I used black thread for quilting the all-over hooked feathers and I did simple outlining in the blocks.



This morning I put CW medallion on the table to work on the binding, I have about 3/4 of ONE side done-maybe

and here's what it looks like now.

Ah ya, it's exactly the same, so I folded it back up and will try again later, tomorrow....

I spent yesterday packing, moving, purging for the upcoming basement work. 

Tonight the demolish begins. 

~fun times, fun times....Life is Good!~

My new mantra
