Sweet Summer Vacation
So things are settling down into our summer vacation. My kids and I have established a routine, and I'm actually still finding some time to quilt. I haven't had a lot of time to actually quilt this week, but I've been working on patterns like mad. I've come up with 6 new designs that I'm very excited to get started on.
Starting a new project includes getting new fabric, so yesterday I visited a quilt shop in Nyssa, OR (about 15 minutes from where I live). Luckily, a really great gal named Pat was working, and she filled me in on all the great events going on at Marilyn's Pickets and Patchwork this summer. I got signed up for a really cool paper piecing block of the month and picked up some fabulous orange - or maybe I should say burnt sienna - fabric for one of the new designs I'm working on. It's supposed to be rainy and cooler for the next few days, so we'll see how much I can get done.
