Other Quilting news-
On Saturday, I whipped into the Cloth Castle for some green embroidery thread and ended up buying MORE fabric! Does this ever happen to you? This fabric literally called my name! I mean what could I do- there are polka dots and daisies on this fabric – two of my favourite things! AND it was in the sales bin! The deal was sealed!
I was afraid to put this fabric away….most fabric that I buy tends to be put into bins….out of sight…out of mind….and it sits…sometimes for years! This was not going to happen to this fabric! I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it, thanks to Carly’s June 6th tutorial. 
Today is Club Day at the Cloth Castle!! This is our first meeting after a summer off, so it feels like the first day of school- so exciting! I drive with two friends, Alice and Dawn. There are about 30 quilters altogether- we share our Sew and Tell and then Natasha, our leader/teacher shares a pattern and the newest gizmo or gadget. We stop for a break and SHOP and then go back for more Natasha sharing. This takes a couple of hours. Then Alice, Dawn and I meet our friend, Claire (she made the dog quilt from yesterday’s post) and we go for lunch. Claire is a Kindergarten teacher and still works half days so we fill her in on everything she missed at Club. I love Club Day as there is nothing like sharing a quilting day with friends! Don’t worry I am taking my camera!!
Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!!
I like that design, the blue and white is very striking. Tanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteAs for your club, it's just not fair. Stamps foot, hard. I want to play too, but it's a bit too far to drive.

That quilt is such a simple, pretty idea! Of course I never have the problem of buying extra fabric, I'm so strong minded, the same goes for chocolate...(yadda yadda yadda, don't believe a word she says).I've one baby quilt finished for the stash, but forgot to post photo today. Club sounds terrible hard work...
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful.
