The ramblings of my quilt shop adventure…

It's Time to Dig Out

This is my office 3 days after shop hop. Do you think there's any chance I'll find the top of my desk in the near future? My desk is on the left. My "stuff" has spilled over to cover the printer table, sewing table, Julie's desk, and the UPS drop table. And all of the "stuff" falls under the category of things I need to do.



This is our Shop Hop quilt. It uses the blocks from all 15 of the Wasatch Front Shop Hop shops. This year's theme was "Celebrate" and each shop chose a holiday or celebration. We had "Fourth of July" which was lots of fun. We have been hoarding red/white/blue fabrics in our back room since February. All the gals in the shop pitched in, designing blocks, piecing, and appliqueing. Julie put it all together (that was a challenge!) and I quilted and bound it (finishing at about 1:00 a.m. the morning of shop hop. I think it turned out nicely. We've had a number of requests for patterns and Janet has kindly agreed to figure the dimensions. As soon as it's ready, we'll post it on the web site and e-mail copies to those who have requested it.

And this is a very dark picture of our theme wall. The new Baisc Grey "Fruit Cake" fabric from Moda is blocking out the blue colorwall on the bottom shelf but you get the idea. I'm working on improving my photography skills but it is still trial and error. I think my next investment needs to be a good photo editing program.
Well, that's all for now. I better get back to digging out the desk!

  1. Good luck "digging" out! lol If I lived closer I'd come help!? Picasa is a free photo program that I use and find it suits my needs quite well. Plus you can "blog this" from the program and it will open your blog with the pictures already there. Happy digging weekend.
