Another is finished, just need to take a picture...
This one is a combination of piecing and applique. Applique is something I hadn't tried previously, but now find to be great fun to do!
The lap quilt is all pieced and set on point! Now that was an experience! I may try it again - sometime! There are a couple boo-boos in it, but if anyone finds them, they're way too close to the quilt!!The other finished one is my variation on a snowball block. I had two of the same 5" charm squares packs, with 2 of each fabric in each one, giving me 4 squares to play with in a block. It turned out quite well!
A friend has a longarm machine and is doing my quilting for me - and a great job she does! She says she's practicing, but if my quilts are the result of "practice", I think she's beyond that stage!
The Chesterville Fair is over for another year! I enjoyed my years as the Fair secretary, but have decided not to have an 'official' position any more. Meaning that I can do the things I'm interested in doing for the Fair. The new secretary is working out quite well and I'll still be around if needed. 2011 will be the 80th Fair, so plans are under way to make it better than ever! The website is: www.chestervillefair.com .
Back to quilting - just purchased Electric Quilt 7! Now to get it loaded on the 'puter and let the fun begin! Maybe my stash will start shrinking now... Really need to get some of it used up before it takes over the house!
The 4 furbabies are enjoying the summer - lounging, eating, playing, sleeping - what a life!
That's all for now - hope everyone has a great summer!
