Landrum Quilt Show

Today Debbie Fenton and I went to the Landrum Quilt Show. We had a great time. The quilt put on a beautiful show which was held in an elementary school. They also had 16 vendors with beautiful fabrics, books, hand dyed yarns, beads, you name it they had it.

Isn't this just a hoot! The black birds looking over the quilts.

This one was beautiful called "I remember mama" You could tell alot of special love went into every stitch.

Sorry for the sideways photo, can't quite get it turned for some reason. It was a beautiful hand appliqued and hand quilted piece. Alot of love and devotion went into this beauty.

After the show Debbie and I ate lunch at a really cute restaurant. I hope that you have also had a quilty dad today.

I liked the little fellow above since it is so HOT today....in the 90's here. So here's to a little cool breeze.

Many blessings,

Where does time go?

I can't believe that it has been soooo long since I posted. Time has flown. Now I'm back and ready to keep blogging away. So many things have happened since my last post. I'll try to update as the days go by. But for now let's have some fun!!

My mom and I are signing up for the Halloween Swap I think it will be great fun. I'm doing bats and mom's doing ghosts.

9 Days Until Sweetpea Arrives

The days are flying by until my longarm arrives. I am so excited to finally be getting her.
My husband is working feverishly to finish my studio before she arrives and I am slowing getting some things moved from my old studio into the new space. I've got so much stuff to move and go through. Exciting seeing some fabric that I forgot that I had.
More pictures to come as things are completed. Of course, I'll have tons of pictures on installation day.
I have scheduled 4 days off after installation to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!
Happy Quilting,
Shelia
