Catching up
Morning peeps! How was your weekend? It was an all sewing weekend for me for the most part. Downside, it's stuff I can't show. Alex is working on a project for the magazine and I was doing some blanket stitching for her. I love blanket stitching and it was a perfect project for sewing group because you don't really need to think about it.
Debbie, as usual, had a wonderful lunch for us. First off I have to show you this package of Artisan Lettuce. SO COOL. And so fresh and delicious.



So what did you do this weekend?

What did I do??? WISHED I was at your heavenly sewing day!
I was busy. Once sewing class and two quilt shows. Plus watching the Academy Awards. Go Sandra!
I sat at the flea mkt, selling a lot of old stuff...problem is; I brought home a bunch of *new* old stuff! ;-)
It was a great weekend sewing with you and Deb. I can't wait for the next sew day. You didn't mention that your Pina Colada dip was a hit too! How many angel food cakes did we go through eating it??? So much for staying healthy..LOL.
I love this flower quilt,how fun it must be to participate in such a group!
I was sick with a flu but still managed to make a skirt for my daughter (blogged)
I finished some swap blocks and did some knitting while watching the oscars last night. And i'm working on a oile of pillowcases for the One Millions pillowcase challenge. Our LQS hopes to have 1000 by end of the year, my personal goal is 50... that would bust some stash!
I presented my aunt with the "Come Around for Coffee" table mat for her 85th birthday. She loved it. Thank you so much for sharing your cute pattern. I love your blog!
What a FUN, PRETTY quilt!! Artisan lettuce, eh? Wow. Too pretty to eat. :-) Sounds like a blast!
I got some of that lettuce at Costco. It is delicious (weeell, delicious for lettuce, tender and pretty. I'm working on stuff I can't really show, too. You know, Market is coming. Even though I won't be there, I'll "be" there.

Oooh, pretty lettuce! Pretty quilt!
I sewed and SEWED. Quilt retreat started at 8 a.m. SHARP on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and went all day and into the night. I never sleep (at night) so I figured I would be one of the handful that sewed until the wee hours. Instead I started nodding off at 8:30 Friday night and was asleep by 9:00. That sewing and talking is TIRING.
I had my copy of The Magazine, only one other person had seen it, and they all loved it. I MAY have pointed out the photo of my Very Famous Quilting Friends.
I won a door prize, too! 9 block-of-the-month American Jane patterns and fabrics for a darling Playtime Quilt designed by Sandy Klop. I guess it's time for me to learn to applique.
I was working on a free-pieced quilt using Wendy Slotbloom's OH-SO-ADORABLE Frolic fabric. I'm fussy-cutting all the cute little racoons and birds and squirrels, and then making (sort of) square-in-square blocks, using 20 shades of green and 20 shades of orange to frame the critters. Very wonky and no rhyme or reason. On a kind of sad note, I was the only one out of 50 who was making something without a pattern (mostly elaborate ones) and everybody who stopped by to see what I was making mumbled something about how cute the animals were, but it seemed like they thought my squares were wack. Oh sigh.
