Well, it's been almost a month since I last posted. I've finished with Jason and Diana's quilt and it is at the quilter. She e-mailed me last night to say it is finished, so now all I need to do is get the binding sewn on. I can't wait to see how it will turn out.
I spent last weekend at a quilting retreat in Hesston, Kansas. I started a new scrappy quilt, but things just weren't going together right. I had a piece that I needed to sew on that was almost 3/8 of an inch too short. I got frustrated and put that aside for the weekend. I'm determined that it will not become another UFO. I cut out a simple baby quilt made from a charm pack. I got that all sewn together and then spent time cutting out a pattern that I picked up while I was in Branson with my friends. It is so bright and fun!!! I'll post some pictures of it as soon as I take them.
I've got another retreat coming up in August and I plan on digging out the scrappy quilt again to see if I can cut down the pieces to make it fit. I hate doing that, because then it screws up the borders....and they're scrappy pieced borders. I may come up with something completely new and different. :)
I'll try to get back here again before the wedding and post some pictures of the girls' flower girl dresses. Yes, I've still got that to do!!
Have a great week!
