Take the wheel, mate....

Okay, we did take the wheel, made it a 6" block instead of 9" and set it in some sand. This is the block from Fourth Corner Quilts here in Bellingham and was one of the first blocks we did. Didn't Jan do a great job of piecing that sand in there? (The sand isn't part of their block...just our addition to make it fit our design.) Well, I just looked, and it seems I only have three more blocks to show you - Aunt Mary's, Tangled Threads and ours. And then, of course, our Team Fab-Etc version of Smooth Sailing for the 2010 Quilt Tour.

Let's see, what happened today? Well, Mr UPS brought the samples of the Shop Hop fabric. I am not thinking about the block that I have to have done by April 15th until after the Quilt Tour. Diane brought back the Twelve Moons quilt top she was working on - it is absolutely stunning. Wait until you see it! Linda started making a few kits to have for the Tour. I'm trying to think of how to rearrange things for next week and put up samples, etc. Tracey did three runners/toppers from a new Gathering Friends book. Guess what? They're made with Kansas Troubles fabrics! And they are wonderful, of course. I made some more petals for the Garden Party quilt...my 1/4 of a block turned out okay, but not as good as Jan's...think I need a thread or two adjustment in my 1/4".

Have a few "bookwork" things to do and then off to bed for an early appt. tomorrow. Have a great evening...one of the last ones of our "winter"!
