Sky's The Limit - Star #10....

Star #10....it's from just up the road at Lynda's on Northwest Road in Bellingham. That means only six stars left and only a little over a week until the TQMA Quilt Tour 2009 is officially "open for business". Hope lots of you are planning to visit the shops this year. I've been seeing pictures some of my customers took of the quilts and once again they are outstanding!

We had a fun day at the shop today - busy - perhaps lots of you were stuck inside yesterday planning projects? We got some notions that I ordered last week. And Jan led her Applique Workshop this afternoon. She also brought a couple of projects she worked on at the Moonlighters Retreat this last weekend. She made a checkbook cover from a pattern in the new Better Homes and Gardens magazines about bags, pincushions and pillows. And she made up the free pattern using the Kitty Cucumber panel - very cute!

I had to cry "Uncle" and tell Nikki that I wasn't going to get the blue/white done in the next day or so....but I brought home the stuff to make setting triangles and am going to keep plugging away at it. I do have all of the big blocks done and the rows sewn in long strips - it's just the setting guys and the borders left. I hate missing deadlines I set for myself. Could blame it on the cold I have, but it's more the fact that I think I can get twice as much done as I really can accomplish.

Enough for tonight....another star tomorrow!
