Buggy Barn!

A few offerings to be found at the upcoming Buggy Barn Quilt Show & Folk Art Sale. Tucked inside these vintage jars are miniature ufo quilt blocks, various old papers, lace, optometrist lens, buttons, wooden spools and a vintage postcard. Fun stuff.

My Miniature quilt & collage “Quilt Study” class is Thursday, August 21

August 23 & 24 ~ 10-4pm daily for the outdoor quilt show. I’ll have a booth there again with all the samples from my books and patterns to see in person, original art, kits, ephemera, etc.

Here’s a website for you to enjoy, Country Sampler from Spring Green, Wisconsin.

Have a peaceful Monday.

have HOPE

A new old piece. Newly done in antique fabrics over vintage papers with a simple message “have hope”.

It’s actually Sunday as I write this, Monday requires me to help hang quilts at the fair. Went to a lake this weekend, helped some family with a dock. Things went so smoothly it was scary and then we had a fantastic lightning show. My niece captured a great pic of lightning horizontal against the dark sky above a silhouette of tree tops.

All in all a nice time away from home. Take care all and enjoy what’s left of the summer. Happy Monday.

To do list

And O! she was all laden with pretty things for me

We all have one don’t we? I like lists, they help me know where I’m at and with another market deadline approaching there are various timelines for certain projects so market can’t sneak up on me. Deb’s not going this time, bummer, so it’s just me and another brave soul, Eddy. Couldn’t be that bad I guess, she went last time and agreed to go again.

So anyhow, the to do list for this week:

1. Finish layout for 1st new pattern, figure a name and get to proofreader.
2. Photography for Vintage Grains (2nd new pattern) I’m terribly excited about this one! It intoduces a new element.
3. Begin layout for same.
4. Update website.
5. Work on last piece for trunk show.

Looking at this list I notice it involves very little sewing and a ton of computer work. My wrist still feels that intense QuickBooks 3 day session a few weeks ago so maybe I should call this the-hopeful-what-my-wrist-can-handle-list. Then if the computer work is delayed I’ll have more sewing time. Oh darn, huh? That’s fine with me.

Inside the box: And the mast were made of gold.

I hope your To Do list has some sewing time built in this week.

Happy Monday to you all!
