On Monday and Tuesday I was in Maryland for a lecture The Legacy Lives on – Five Generations of Quilters and a hexabag workshop.
Monday evening I stayed with Didi (a friend from QPN). This is the room that I stayed in.
She has this quilt rack with all these wonderful antique quilts.
I am taking a few pictures in case I can figure out a place in my home to have a quilt rack like this.
I have discoverd Google Reader this week. I love it because it let’s me know when blogs have been updated without me having to spend the time visiting each individual blog. Yah for technology!
On Thursday morning I made these four bids for a charity project that the Village Squares Quilters are working on. At around 10:00 I went to Quilt Cottage for a Sit n’ Sew with the VSQ members to make bibs. We made around 30 bibs while at the Quilt Cottage.
A sister in our ward just a had baby boy and their daughter was in Nursery with Tom and I. I made this receiving blanket for the baby and a ball for each of the BIG sisters.
I did not have any baby wrapping paper so I just folded the corners in and ties with ribbon. (Emily will “LOVE” this wrapping style!)
We are getting ready to have my studio (basement) worked on. We are having sheetrock put on the ceiling. What pipes are not covered up will be painted white. Tom and I will redo the rock walls. New carpet cut exactly the right size for a our basement. I am also working on some fun accessories for my studio. I have taken a bunch of BEFORE pictures and will post them when I have some progress pictures to share with you. Anyway, this is the quilt tha I am making for the reclyner that will be in my studio.
Playing with different layouts.
This is going to be a BIG, BIG, BIG job. We have to basically take everything out of the basement. For any of you who have been in our basement, you know that I use every corner to the fullest! I have sorted through alot of my quilting books and will be selling them at the Trash to Treasure sale in June’s Village Square Quilters meeting. Anyway, I just have to keep reminding myself how NICE it will be when it is all completed!
Re-modeling is always such a mess–especially when you have to live around it. Sounds like it sure will be nice when your done. I’m am always so impressed by you many projects. You keep me motivated!!
I am sooo excited about your basement, and that quilt for the recliner looks nice!
