Off to West Virginia!

I so did NOT want to wake up this morning.  I set my alarm for 7am, which does not sound like too early of an hour, but it was past midnight before I went to bed ----just so much to do, and hopefully I didn’t forget anything! 

Projects packed:

Moth in the Window blocks . ((Only as many as I could get kitted up, not enough to keep me busy the whole time))

Wild and Goosey blocks with baggies of crumbs for paper piecing.

Cheddar bow-ties to bind in case I want to sit somewhere cozy and hand sew.

I was wondering if this is enough, and then I remembered --- oh yeah---I don’t get to sew the WHOLE TIME ---just in the evenings after class!  ((And maybe sneak in a little during lunch time?!))  I’ve probably over packed as it is.  But I’m ready no matter what happens!

I want to thank those who took pics at Quilt Market to give me a glimpse of my quilts hanging in the Kansas City Star booth!

Roll Roll, Cotton Boll is next to Talkin Turkey --- and you can’t hardly see them because they blend in, but rolled up on the bottom is Orca Bay and Santa Fe String Star.  I sure would have loved to have been there!  But I’m also glad I chose to stay home and work on the house over the past 2 weeks.  Boy did time fly!

As I leave this morning, I’m remembering to pack up a goodie that came in the mail to me yesterday from Stella in Richmond, VA!

Any guesses what this is??  Besides the fact that it looks like a giant flip flop?

it’s a “STAY PUT” for a machine foot pedal!

Stella, I don’t have your email address and you didn’t include it in your note – so I hope this will suffice!  I LOVE IT!  I am always fighting with my foot pedal going sliding across the floor –this is going to be great!  I love the non-skid fabric on the bottom, the kind that you put on little kid’s “footie” pjs.  It’s SO CUTE!  Thank You!

PS – Stella said she found the tutorial for this on pinterest, but I haven’t had a chance to go looking for it so I could link it for you.  I think it would make a great Christmas gift for sewers in your circle of friends!

We will be at Pipestem State Park, WV.  I don’t know what the internet connection possibilities will be there.  I have my phone, I can do wifi from my phone if I can get a phone connection , but who knows if there IS a phone connection --- so if you don’t hear from me until Sunday night, you’ll know why.  I didn’t have time to write posts ahead ----I was too busy folding fabric!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
