MONDAY MUSINGS

This week was Road to California. Road is just always a fun time. Usually my friends and I take one or two classes. But, this year we decided not to, and instead just went to the show. Of course, as usual I never pulled out my camera. So, I pinched this one from my friend, Sue’s, Facebook page.

Isn’t it a great picture? This was taken on Friday, a no-rain day during this stormy time frame.  But, today was a different story. It rained almost non-stop all day.

It was like a small lake out front. In fact, there was some kids in a small boat at the end of the block.

But, back to Road. Here is the loot I picked up at the show.

Those rubber banded bundles are cork fabric. It’s quite new and from Portugal. The pattern is for a small wallet. We saw it made up using the cork fabric.

This is the UFO picked to be finished by our March guild meeting. It is called "Rock the Block", by Joe Cunningham. A very free form way of making it. No real pattern. My friend Sue and I took it at a class in Palm Springs last summer.

I will say, because of this weather, I am getting a lot done on it this weekend

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

Birthday quilt blocks for January and February are done. We didn’t have a January meeting. I’m not even sure why that is; but, we will in February.

Here they are:

Barbara’s Block

Justine’s Block

Gayle’s Block

I did finish the boy quilt top.

It measures 70 x 90 and will be off to Bear’s on Tuesday.

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

My BFF, Robin, and I did our first quilt store shopping this week. I know, I know Road to California is right around the corner. But, still it’s fun to hit up the few local brick and mortar stores we have left here. They seem to be disappearing so quickly to on-line shopping.

Each year we pick out a theme to shop for while visiting quilt stores. I’ve done Ethnics, Words, Tone on Tones, polka dots. This year I’ve decided on stripes.

Yes, I couldn’t resist a few Word fabrics. But, I’m on my way with stripes.

Sadly, not a lot of sewing got done last week; but, I did manage to work a little on my boy quilt.

I am still trying to decide on the setting,

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,
