Saturday....

Whew...guess I didn't realize how tired I was from the last couple of weeks until the end of this week rolled around! Quilt Market was a lot of fun and excitement, but included a couple of long drives and working about 10 days in a row. The "vintage" me is feeling it tonight!

Today was fun at Fab-Etc, though. the third class for Jan's "Wildberry Vines" was this morning and it was quiet for a while, so I got to sit in for the fun and Joanie's scones - yum!! Each of their quilts is different because of their fabric choices and each is fantastically beautiful. I was playing with a pattern we picked up at Quilt Market that is done by hand using the Promise Stitch - it is truly relaxing. Jan and I thought we'd pass it around at the next Tea Party on June 4th so everybody could play with it.

Then in the afternoon, NoraJean came to use the larger table and start quilting a special project she's working on as a gift. Here's a picture of her hard at work. She is using the "Puzzle Box" pattern and some poppy fabric she had.

While she was working on that, I set up my machine and quilted some antennae onto our Shop Hop block. Here's a picture. It's coming up pretty soon, you know! We have posters and fabric for pre-order, and we'll have the passports ready for pick up next week - the masters arrived in the mail today!

Hope you get a chance to enjoy some "down time" over the long weekend. I'm looking forward to playing with some flowers and just sitting....and of course catching up on my laundry!

More news from Fab-Etc soon.
