I am on quilting overload after today. This was the last day of the BOM program for two quiltshops........and I was doing two versions of the BOM at one of them. I have setting options and fabrics whirling around my head like a tornado!!! Now I have decisions to make. Actually, one was already made, as the Basket quilt at Red Hen only had one version made up, and I had preordered the finishing kit on that one..........an allowed purchase, of course. The only other fabric I bought was for the BOM blocks, so I remain "No Buy". I don't quite know which settings I will chose for the other two sets of blocks, but I bought two patterns which I will probably end up using. It should be fairly easy to decide on setting and border fabrics for the traditional blocks, but the blended will be a challenge. I will post the blocks at some point.
My only other purchases (and I made a trip to JoAnn's) were for snaps and batting. I did get a free fat quarter at Red Hen for taking my internet coupon in.
Didn't get to spend as long with my dear friend as I would have liked, but I was able to get a photo of us together with the wonderful quilt that she made and hand quilted for me as my Christmas gift this year. I love it!!! She used a batting by Mountain Mist called Cream Rose. The quilt is so soft..........like snuggling under a cloud.
Rascal, my little male schnauzer, and one of our three dogs, was sitting on my ottoman tonight looking way too sweet, so I am going to be compelled to include his photo. Gotta love those doggies.
I am not much in the mood to stitch tonight, so maybe I will just putter in my sewing room and clean a bit......or do a bit more sorting. That can always prove interesting........
