SIT N STITCH AT QUILTER’S CORNER AND FLOWER INSPIRATION

Posted By on September 19, 2008

The paparazzi was out there today and the Sept. 17th BIRTHDAY GIRL, Sheddy, made a surprise visit to SIT N STITCH – and ta da……here she is!

We had a full house today – lots of stitching and exchanging of ideas!
I was so excited – I got a picture of all four of us who made the LUCKY STARS DETOUR QUILT for the troops.  This was a rare “HAPPENING” for all four of us to be in the same room at the same time – and ever so much fun!  I just had to run home and post these pictures on my blog!

 And then as if SIT N STITCH weren’t ENOUGH fun for the day, I had to stop and pick up some paint chips for  our Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Flower Quilt Challenge.  Here is the way it works.  We design a small quilt and the predominant colors have to be colors whose names start with our initials.  So I have to choose colors that begin with S … A … and O.

WHO KNEW I WOULD HAVE SO MANY CHOICES (and I wonder what people thought of my STRANGE BEHAVIOR picking out paint chips seemingly at random!)  Taking the photos was NO EASY TASK because my son-in-law either put his hand in the picture or moved the table just as I was about to snap the photo!  ON PURPOSE OF COURSE….Sigh….:)  🙂

SET ONE  - COLOR PLACE PAINTS

However will I choose my three colors? 

Sesame, Strawberry Blush, Satin Rose, Stargaze, Shore Blue, Sebago Blue, Satin Doll, String Bean, Seven Lakes, Sea Galleon, Scottish Loch, Sequoia,  Scottish Flower, Sunflower – and that represents just the Ss.

Let’s see for As I can have….Ancient Purple, Autumn Gold, Apple Red, Antique Lace, or Apple Blossom.

Then for the Os……Oats, or Olde English – and these are just the choices for the FIRST SET OF PAINT CHIPS!!!!

Too much fun…..and I got TWO MORE SETS….However will I choose!

Set Two - Kilz Paint Chips

Ooops, that was NOT a good picture – but when PEOPLE ARE MOVING THE TABLE….well, what can I say!
SET THREE - Dutch Boy Paint Chips

We will get a piece of mystery fabric at our October Guild Meeting – and in the meantime I am going to be shuffling my paint chips and dreaming about my flower quilt!  YEAH, no directions to follow, I get to decide.  It has been a very good day!
