Unpacking and putting quilts away

The program at the quilt guild last night went very well. A couple old friends from the years I worked in Batavia drove 30 miles to hear me speak. It was so good to see them again. The meeting was very well attended with several of the guests joining the guild before the evening was over. It takes 2 days to pull all of the quilts and pack them for a program and now I need to put them all away. It is good for them to be aired out now and then.



While I was cleaning the basement over the weekend, these fabrics all found their way into the same pile. It's a happy pile but I don't know what I'm going to make yet.

I'm off to get my hair cut this morning. Today's fun: I need to finish the last 2 blocks for my basket quilt and then I can pick the setting triangle fabric. Life is good.

    I like the little stash that turned up for you. I especially like those polka dots...they are screaming at me to go buy something polka dotted immediately!!!

    Pretty basket quilt!

    I kept you in mind all night last night, as I was stuck, working on still unfinished project in the computer lab at school. More lab time today... I wish I could be there... Are you planning anything similar in months to come?

    I'm so happy the program went well and you got to see some old friends. I still wish I could have been there to see all of your gorgeous quilts in person.

    That is a gorgeous little array of fabrics...quite a few that I recognize!

    Every time you post your 'fan' of fabrics for a quilt. I wish it were mine. Love what you have selected.
