End of Vacation

Washed and ironed all the fabric I bought in VA while on "vacation". I have started a new quilt, only this one is for payment for my website www.colorboxpatterns.com and I am making the pattern "Not so Straight Furrows" . I am using batiks in earth tones. I am introducing blues and some pinks and purples to the general earth tone hues. So far it only has three blocks done and looks great! When I get it finished there will definitely picture(s) posted!

I'll be going back to work tomorrow. The Quilt Camp girls will be meeting tomorrow and getting the November block for our year long quilt. Next year, we will start meeting on the 4th Saturday of each month. It will work out much better, I think, as there are a lot of classes, programs and other quilting activities on the first, second, and third Saturdays. Nothing much happens on the fourth Saturday, so this will be perfect!

I have another shop selling my patterns. It is Creative Quilting in Roanoke, VA. Wonderful shop. I always find something that I can't find anywhere else. I was able to find really neat batiks for my "Two Peacocks: Homage to Koson Ohare (1877-1945)". They are the tree barks the peacocks are sitting on. I was awarded Honorable Mention in the Challenge at QuiltFest this year.
