I'm heading out. But stop back next week, I'm working on putting together a little challenge maybe you'll join me on... or quilt along if you want...

right now, I'm feeling a little BLUE...

(perhaps A CLUE, or maybe I am still sick)

Or maybe both!

Remember I am heading out this weekend with my gal friends? Well, I went to get my car this a.m. to give it a good wash and cleaning, and wouldn't you know it, but something went wrong with the transmisson! Thank goodness it was at 10:30a.m.(and not on the freeway!) I am hoping to get the car back from the repair shop by 5 and we leave at 6! Nothing like a little extra excitement.... never a dull momment!

And quickly, My favorite quilt for the Quilt festival. I made this for my daughter after sharing a really lovely moment with her, learning about Gee's bend and the quilts they make. It was a process I love the most, just picking up fabric and sewing it together, and my daughter begged me for it. I have had many posts about this quilt, if you want you can see the back story here.

I really need to take a better picture of it... put on my list of things to do!

Have a great weekend!

And let's see. more pics? ok, here they come... I maybe sick, red nosed, and out of sorts this week, with B home sick as well, this is what I have been working on...

I was working on my little quilt (bottom left) and was also teaching B to quilt her block, (top left)

I played around with the new blocks I designed, putting one on the back of the red Matisse quilt, and have decided what to do with the rest of them. make a full quilt! (of course)

The three (bottom right) I finished hand quilting them and will make them into pillows...




Top Left, I made a book of almost all of my quilts on LULU.com just to have for reference. I love how the cover turned out! Yippee! It came in the mail today. now I can go in and make all my little notes on each one.

I am making three MINI quilts (top right) for my three friends coming to my house this weekend for a Girls ONLY weekend. I am binding them now, I'll post a pic later when I have them done.

I laid on the couch most of the day, with all my goodies around me...(bottom left pic) And lastly, my groceries were delivered, (NYC style, grocery shopping, online & get them delivered...) & used the boxes(bottom right pic) for MORE STORAGE. Strictly for backing fabrics so I can see what I have...

Because,

lastly.

Being home sick all week, and with B home sick as well,

means my studio looks like this!

What a mess.
