It is countdown time! Only 3 more days and I"m off for Linda's house to go to Paducah with
Linda,
Jan and the "crew"! I"m so bummed
Laura can't come this year, so I guess I'll just have to shop for her!
I did manage to do a few finishes, although I"ve been so busy at work trying to get everything done before I leave. Above is my mom's star quilt. When I was visiting last summer she saw this in "
Laps from Fats for Family and Friends" and just loved it. Wanted to know if I would make it for her if she bought the fabrics. Of course I would!
Bonnie quilted it for me months ago before she moved, but I never had time to get the binding on. Well the binding is on, and it is all washed and crinkly! It is off to live with my mom mid-May when I go out! So I thought I should enjoy it for a few weeks before it leaves!
And I quilted, bound and washed my Broken Dishes quilts from my
Kathleen Tracy workshop she did. The quilt is from her book "
Prairie Children and their Quilts". Didn't it turn out adorable!
And look what I did with all my scraps from it!
Oh and look what I got in the mail yesterday! One of Darlene's famous pincushions! Aren't the colors/fabrics great! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Darlene!

I love your Mom's quilt. The fabric is great. You always manage to do something with the leftovers. I'm usually so tired of the fabric by the time I get done that I do nothing. You are an inspiration for future projects.
Those pin cushions are adorable.
Leaving in the morning at 8 a.m. for IN. Bringing "crumbs" for lesson. See ya Wed.
I love the sawtooth border on the blue/cream quilt - and those little quilts are so cute. The little pincusions are lovely and a great way to use scraps!
I am green green green that you are going to Paducha! Have a blast.
