Scenes from Quilt Camp

We had another fun and productive quilt camp. Here are a few pictures of what was happening. I worked on birthday blocks that I was behind on. The first block is Lela's who requested barns.


Next up was Ginny who wanted something in Khakis, purples and greens.


This is our wonderful master quilter Esther and her gorgeous quilt!


This one is for Viki who wanted a paper pieced flower. I don't paper piece so I did the most basic one I could find.


Sossity asked for churn dash blocks in 30's prints

Linda asked for tans, pinks and browns.


Mel's absoulutely exquisite Winter Wonderland top.


Dawn busy at work. She was my tablemate.

St. Louis Trip

 
Posted by Picasa

I journeyed to St. Louis with my family for the Labor Day weekend. First up was the Cardinals/Reds game and it was definitely a good time as the Cardinals came out victorious. After the game my son’s college team played a game on the Busch field and they didn’t do so well. But he did great as it was his first game in a year since having the Tommy John surgery. I didn’t realize how much I missed going to baseball games until I didn’t have any to go to. I am glad to have baseball back on my agenda.
Tonight is a get myself in gear night as I have quilt camp this weekend and so far I have nothing prepared to work on. I need to get the different birthday blocks patterns ready and kitted up to take with me. Hopefully this camp will get me back in the quilting mood.
