Are you crabby.....

I've been there a few times and they're definitely not "crabby" at The Quilt Shop in Anacortes! But their block for the 2010 Quilt Tour next week is a crab. Our Jan managed to do LOTS of math and shrink this pieced block to 50% of its original size - we love you, Jan!! Then, we decided that he needed some beady eyes and perhaps a little "plumping", so we add some trapunto. What do you think? Looks pretty good - right?

Today was kind of a quiet day at Fab-Etc. I didn't have to shamelessly beg Jan to quilt my topper...she just did it with a smile (although the chocolate bowl was pretty close to her machine!) It turned out really well, and now it's my job to sew down the binding. Oh good, a sit down job in my comfy chair!

I didn't get the borders on the daisy quilt last night, but got a good start before I left for the shop this morning and now I just have to do the outer borders. It's such a cheerful, happy quilt. Don't think we'll get it quilted before the Tour, but we should have the top to show off and maybe a kit or two?

My chair and binding project await, and I am definitely ready for them. Hope your evening is that enjoyable!
