we'll be trimming the tree before you know it! i made this little star for a reason, but then discovered it was too "modern" so i have to keep it....what a shame (not!), so it'll hang on my tree this year. of course, that means i have to make another but no big hardship. ***** this weekend i sewed a lot. you've already seen the red/cream northwind and i have more of that piano key border done. i also hand sewed on the amish pinwheel. only 1 full row and half of another need to be sewn on, so it'll be a flimsy in no time. once that's done, my hand work will focus on finishing the halloween piece. looks like november is basting month, plus hand quilting of course. i've got ideas swimming in my head for the large spaces on my center diamond quilt. the red/cream is getting tied and i can quilt on the other 2, hoping at least 1 gets finished before the end of the year. that'll give me 2 more big quilt finishes and the halloween piece, if all goes according to plan. **** today i'll also be meeting up with bonnie hunter and show off the nearby Marden's. I'm pretty sure she'll find SOMETHING she can't live without, even with her seemingly voluminous stash! **** on another ominous note, i read on another blog about someone who was told by a shop owner that cotton fabric will go to $19 per yard....if that's true, many of us are sitting on fort knox-like stashes, so maybe i'd better stock up at Marden's today. That's my reasoning and wouldn't be frugal to do otherwise, don't you agree?
Enjoy your shopping trip with Bonnie.....I hope that it's not true about the price of fabric, that will certainly close many quilt shops as a large number of people will no longer be able to support them!
