Fun Weekend Stuff

The Marshfield Quilt Show is going on right now.  Are you attending?  It's always a nice trip over to the show and a great day to spend with friends.

I love aprons.  Really, who doesn't like these necessary little items for the kitchen and  for many other uses.  You can wear one while quilting and keep scissors, etc. in your pockets.  All the greatest aprons need a pocket.  I found a e-book at Craft Chat Eat that has 10 aprons, the e-book is free and all you have to do is sign up with only your email address.  You will receive an email with link to the aprons.  The e-book is quite beautiful and has instructions for these aprons and there is a great variety.  The Craft Chat Eat site has a lot of nice ideas and especially if you look at their Pinterest site.

We have our Christmas Stocking roundup coming and here is a tutorial for a stocking that was quite cute. Amy's Creative Side is a good place to visit for ideas.

Magnolia Bay Quilts has a nice tutorial for a 60 degree quilt block.  This looks like an interesting way to use up scraps.  Hope you all have a great weekend and find time to enjoy quilting.   Diana

October Show and Tell

Our October show and tell was short but very sweet.  Sheila was extremely busy with her flying geese and made three lovely soldier quilts.  These will fly away in the spring to a deserving veteran.

 Carol made a very cute Cardinal wallhanging and also a fantastic quilt called A Place of Peace.  Both are lovely.

 Here is a shot of our gals participating in the Halloween treat bag exchange.  There sure were a lot of nice and thoughtful gifts in this exchange.  We are going to do something similar at our Christmas party so get a shopping and thinking about what you want to put in your bag. 

Many of us are very excited about the bus trip to Cedarburg on the 9th.  Please be at the Breed town hall by 6:45.  No one needs to be left behind!!

If you can't make it to the Quilt Festival in Houston, a blogger is sponsoring a wonderful link to many many quilts to view for your own private quilt show.  Amy has the links on her blog.  There are literally hundreds of quilts to view so expect to spend some time and come back often.  Its very inspiring for sure!
Have a great week.  Diana
