National Quilting Day
 

Tomorrow is national Quilting day! Does anyone have anything fun planned?

I know my guild is having a quilters olympics day again this year and we have prizes and everything that we can win. We even have 2 sewing machines that we can possibly win.

I am going to try to catch some of the free shows on The Quilt Show www.thequiltshow.com

Shopping! Looking for fabrics for my next 2 quilts.....will be great to shop for things that don't include groceries....LOL!

Seems like I keep getting pulled away from my quilting lately, so I told everyone that Saturday was OFF LIMITS. I WILL BE QUILTING TOMORROW COME HELL OR HIGH WATER!!!

I belong to a quilt group and there will be about 25 of us, gathering in a small church hall.
One of the ladies on the committee is going to make Lasagna and salad, and we have
been asked to make a cake/ cookies - for "afternoon tea".

We are being supplied with red/white/blue fabric to make a block and then they will be
put into two piles and two people will then each win a pile of blocks and they will be able to
make a quilt out of them. Such a nice idea.

So that will be in the morning and after our scrummy lunch we can do our "own" thing. I
have several Dear Jane blocks prepped to "hand sew" - that is if I have time after going
round to see what everyone else is doing !!
There will be a trader there and we will also have a raffle.

So, whatever you may be doing - I look on this list as my "international group" and wanted to
wish you all a happy sewing day.

Dot in England, UK.

I will be going to the Glendale Quilt Show in Burbank, CA tomorrow! Ready to show for goodies!

I get to atttend a show of upcoming fabric, patterns, "new" stuff. Yeah.

I went to a fabric shop today about an hour away. I had never been there before - it's in El Campo, TX. Pretty shop and they have 20% off yardage and fat quarters are on sale too, today and tomorrow (16th and 17th). I also stopped at a local shop in Richmond TX and they have 20% off purchase through tomorrow. Got a few wonderful fabrics!

Ill be shopping, my LQS is having a sale on everything green!!!! Then Ill be back home quilting up a storm.

I will be binding the quilts I picked up from the LQS LA. one was a UFO from last year. So I am glad it is done. Just finished the binding on a quilt for my DD.

I'm haveing my own pajama party! Stew in crock pot, green salad, and cornbread all ready to go. Projects all ready to start, or work on during the day. Cutting out 2 new quilts, finish some beading on a wall hanging, work on my appique wall hanging, start gathering supplies for my crazy quilt class.

My Guild had a Quilt til You Wilt weekend yesterday and today to work on Care Quilts for donation. Bins of donated fabrics were sorted through, kits made, and much was accomplished. I had a good time- 2 tops almost finished- need borders.

I want to hang out at your place, I can bring my jammies and projects :)

Quilt a Clauss did not come by our house today! Darn it! Didn't think he would. Anyhow, I did get some strip blocks made this morning, then we attended a wedding reception, our gift, a beautiful apple green, pink & brown turning twenty quilt! The bride asked me if I brought her anything she would love. Think she saw the apple green bag in with the gifts and she knows I am into quilting. I think she is looking forward to it!

I will get some more quilting in yet tonite :)
