I am taking a class at Hancock Fabrics this weekend. It is a Lone Star quilt, but it is pieced using strip quilting...so no weird diamonds and stuff. Not only is this a new pattern for me, it is probably the most difficult that I have attempted. I am also using a fabric that I've never used before...batiks! I know many are fond of them and they are sooo beautiful! The colors I am using range from teal/green, purple and a rust color. Sounds weird, but when you see the fabrics together, they just seem to work. We had a lot of fun at the LQS picking them out. The ladies were so helpful..I just love their shop! I went in and said "Help!" and we went to work. Each color requires 5 different graduated color schemes. I have never had to choose fabrics like that before. I will post pics later.

Let's see - company of three arriving about 9:00 yet tonight - two hot air balloon flights to do on Saturday - another balloon flight (3rd) Sunday morning - company leaving Sunday late morning - family BBQ here Sunday afternoon - another (4th) balloon flight to do Sunday late afternoon/early evening. Just can't see any sewing or shopping squeezed in there anywhere!

Doing extreme house cleaning. I have an ant problem everywhere except the kitchen go figure. I don't know why they are coming in but it is about to drive me crazy. no one is allowed to eat anywhere but the kitchen so I know there is not food anywhere else. Pulling my hair out.
