Waiting for the judges

 Waiting for the scribes

 One hanging team

  And another

 And the quilts are almost up.

Now wait a minute!  Did you think I was going to show you the view from the balcony?  No, not today.  You're going to have to come and see it yourself!!

See you in the morning, doors open at 10am!

Quilt Show!

We're having a quilt show this weekend!

There was an article in this morning's Bee.

 And here's a peek at the ladies behind the scenes:

Come and see us!  We'll be waiting for you when the doors open at 10am on Friday!

Last One For a While

Happy Happy!

Quilt show week begins today.  Bring me your beauties, doors open for receiving at 10am.  Judging is tomorrow.  Good luck to all who entered their work!!!

Don't you just love Spring?

Nothing new in the garden today.  The new stuff is blooming in the Studio.  :)

Beautiful Things

The garden continues to be a source of visual pleasure.  I'm not sure I like the early warm weather, but I do like seeing the blooms this year.  For the past several years, the blooming has begun during show week, and I've missed the daily sensory excitement of spring.

Last week's goals were to wrap-up show details and finish a new little wall quilt.  The show is in its final prep days.  I am so close to ready I can feel it.  The wall quilt?  Well, the applique is finished, I'm halfway through the embroidery, and if all goes well, I might quilt it over the weekend.  This all depends upon the show being ready to go.  Goals are good.

Quilts have been arriving daily.  Official check-in is Monday.  Mark your calendars now, if you haven't done so already.  Next Friday, we're having a quilt show!

POP!

He Is Risen!

Easter Blessings included a middle of the night thunderstorm and downpour.  Thank you, Lord!

oooh, aaah

Still popping!  :)

Why does Blogger do this?

Happy Easter!

Still Popping!

Why does this last one remind me of Johnny Depp?  I think it's the up-sweep, and the orange.  Very Mad Hatter-ish, don't you think? 

I met my goals for last week, finishing all of the quilt show narratives and delivering the programs to the printer.  I am sitting here, waiting, for the estimate.  Surely I can sneak in some stitchery.  Do you think anyone will notice?

On Sunday - was it Sunday? - I drew a pattern.  On Monday, I chose and cut fabric.  On Tuesday, I began sewing, a seam here, a seam there.  Today I have my background.  Tomorrow I will applique, and over the weekend I will quilt.

Or not.

I also need to clear out my garage so that I can move out the quilt show equipment and stow the seats from the van. 

There are other quilt show odds and ends, but the bulk of the work is behind me.  Today I worked on it for 2-3 hours.  Not so much, really, in the grand scheme of things.  I should be more stressed, but I've been sewing.  There is nothing more soothing than the hum of the machine and an exciting new small project. 

My goal for this week, which I believe is Week #13, is to wrap up the remaining at-home quilt show details, and to finish the little quilted project.  If it gets done, it has somewhere to go.  If it doesn't get finished, well, then I'll probably show it to you sooner.

And on that, I think I'll go look at my garden again.  Every time I turn my back, someone else pops up.  Pop!

Pop! Pop Pop!!
