I finished the first block of the Celtic Knotwork Mystery quilt – in my spare time between the parade, picnic, barbecue and fireworks fun. There are 81 2 1/2″ squares in the first block. I am making mine scrappy with blacks, golds, dark reds and creams/beiges as the background
This is going to be fun – and if you want to make one too – just go to lynnes fresh hope quilting blog (a link is on my blog!)

Today was LOTS and LOTS of fun – we started off with a wonderful Brandermill Parade and picnic! While waiting for the parade to start someone started a marshmallow fight – my first one ever – really kind of fun, actually it was! And wouldn’t this be better than rice to throw at a wedding?

Sarah’s swim team was in the parade and they had fun shooting all of the people with water guns – all of the swim team members carried water guns and threw candy to the crowds – just like Mardi Gras!!!

I took a cute picture of some RITA Icees – and actually I ended up taking almost 200 pictures which I will not display here (did I hear a great sigh of relief?) – but I had to show this one.
CUTE
Tonight we ooohed and aaahed at the fireworks – my camera did not capture the fireworks – but I got a few shots of the people – and JUST for fun I took a few pictures of feet – don’t ask – it just seemed like fun at the time! 🙂
I think it all started with a clown in the parade making a comment about my NICE CLOWN BOOT – and then she said, “You should have bought the other one.” 🙂

THE FEET…..this really makes me smile – I can’t explain it – I just think it is fun. LOL 🙂

Chain of Fools - July 2009
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. 🙂

THE LABEL!
Creative Labeling
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!) 🙂
