Like I
don’t have enough to do. At the
moment, I have too many projects in my home/garden and let’s not talk about all
the quilting projects I’m in different stages of….. but does that stop me from
volunteering at quilt guild? No ma’am. You’re looking at the new Co-Director of the
Starlight Quilt Guild Boutique. The
guild is all-a-buzz about the upcoming quilt show in October. Within the quilt show they host a “Boutique”
which sells handmade items by the members of the guild. A way of recouping (kinda sorta!) the
expenses of hosting the quilt show. I
wrangled my quilt buddy Sue to help lead in this Boutique Madness. After all, I wasn’t going to sink alone in
this venture! So with my partner in
crime, we’re organizing the best (fingers crossed) darn Boutique they’ve ever
seen! While I seem really motivated and
about as positive as I can be, we’ll see how I feel mid-September!
The Splendid Sampler Dish:
Instead of making a “Quilt Shop” with the House block – I placed Uncle Sam in the window. It seemed fitting
using Civil War Repros.
Progress in the Splendid Sampler, or maybe lack of? I’m really enjoying this quilt-a-long. For a moment I really stressed over a few of
the blocks. Let’s just say – I wasn’t
loving the non-traditional blocks. After a couple of days moaning and groaning I decided this concoction of miscellaneous blocks are mine. So I changed out a few, I mean the quilt police aren’t
going to show up and point out the difference…. so let's throw caution to the wind, after all it’s my Splendid
Sampler!
I did a “change-up” for Block 14 – Flying High (below). Not really my style, so I made a slightly
different version of a Flying Geese (above).
