#2  Milky Way…….from the Cutting Bee with Augusta Cole in January!  I absolutely find it almost impossible to take a picture of a quilt at my house WITHOUT a cat lounging on it…….they can hear that quilt touching the floor from any place in the house!  All of the fabric for this  quilt came from the cutting bee – I had so much fun – I am going to do this again next year!

#3 Moda Piece and Plenty Mystery Quilt – 2008 – finally it is complete!  Now that I have it made,  I am not sure what to do with it.  It isn’t exactly the kind of quilt that you would take on a picnic.

#4 Maverick Ant Stars (Maverick Stars is a free Bonnie K.  Hunter pattern at Quiltville.com) and I made the sashing from Leaders and Enders using 2″ wide fabrics of varing lengths – I like the look!  I think it is absolutely official – I love scrappy quilts.

 I also made my Country Piecemaker’s Myster BOM block for August….I think we will be finding out how these pieces go together next month!

And I made my Chain of Fools BOM from Quilter’s Corner for August…..I know, I know, it looks a lot like the block for July – that is BECAUSE I accidentally made the July block again!  Can’t believe it but I did…..and I am going to keep it and PRETEND that it is the August block!  I like it better than the August block anyway…..there……have I convinced myself.

MY CARRY-ON CHALLENGE
 
And this is NOT a quilty happening – but I did get my luggage for my New England Tour in October - on sale at Macys!  YEAH.  At Target today I got lots of little travel sized toiletries.  I just might be able to pull this off!
 
Here is my 21″ bag……..will I be able to meet my CARRY-ON CHALLENGE?  I am going to try to pack for 8 days in ONE SMALL BAG!  I practiced today going without any hairspray and I must admit I had a bit of a wild look!  sigh.  :) :)

Catherine finished embellishing her roll up bag – and she enhanced mine too – with beautiful stickers!  Catherine also had more beautiful jewelry to show – and an outstanding Victorian fold-out journal.  It was to oooohed and aaaahed over.  I am not sure what you call it – it might not be a journal, but it was a part of a challenge that Catherine, Sandie and Chris did last year.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of our day!  Oh yes, and in case you are wondering what a FLUTTERBYE is – it is a code word for butterfly since Catherine LOVES THEM and sao is trying to!

My PEPTO CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO QUILT now has borders and is with my long arm quilter Sara – complete with a little label!!!!!  I really like the border fabric that Susan picked out…..hot pink!  I got the pattern from Augusta Cole’s CUTTING BEE in January but the fabric was all from my stash – I have been collecting pinks for awhile……and there is barely a dent in my pink fabric.  :)

And Finally I did some creative work on my label – two YO YO’s and three buttons GLUED ON WITH FABRI-TAC covered the holes left by the basting stitches.  Thanks to my VA SCRAPPER friends for coming up with this solution!!!
and…
I am currently working on my CELTIC KNOTWORK Block one – a picture will no doubt appear soon!  If you want the pattern click on lynnes fresh hope quilting on my blog roll (she doesn’t use capital letters and so I didn’t either!)  :)
