So many of you have been asking about Catherine and how she is doing. SHE IS DOING GOOD! She has a walking cast and is still staying in temporary lodgings with her beloved John (DH) and Miss Sydney – her beloved furry daughter.
You can keep up with her on her blog – and you will be amazed at all of her creativity ….ENJOY!
Here is a picture of Catherine showing her IF I WERE A FLOW-HER CHALLENGE QUILT at the Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild in Powhatan, VA in May. The quilt will be on display with other guild IF I WERE A FLOWER CHALLENGE QUILTS in the Powhatan Public Library during the month of July.

I am AMAZED……you must take a peek at this blog. I never dreamed you could make so many things from fabric selvages. WOW. I copied one photo from the blog – but there are MORE THINGS – post cards, aprons, pillows, pot holders, skirts, lamp shades, and lots of quilts. You can even KNIT with selvages. Did you all know that there is even a book out on using selvages! This is true and not simply bandinage!!!!

Believe it or not, that pink Chattanooga Choo Choo Quilt is all put together – with the help of kitties Daisy May and Tonto Morris, that is. I have named it my PEPTO CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO QUILT! Today I bought some wonderful fabric for the borders – and hope I will be finishing this in the coming week!
Here are some of my PEPTO CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO QUILT photos! I got the pattern at the Augusta Cole Cutting Bee in January and I got on this PINK KICK and somehow made this quilt in one week……don’t know what got into me……I just couldn’t stop!!! 🙂

Carmen, Patsy, Darlene and the crazy photo lady – me – sao – had a grand time Saturday sewing, chatting, eating, laughing, and sharing show and tells for our June monthly Virginia Scrappers gathering. I really had a productive, relaxing, good time. It was a small – but mighty good group!
Carmen gave a lesson on y-seam hand sewing and she and Patsy made some “GOOD THINGS.” I worked on the binding for my Bonnie K. Hunter STRIP TWIST SUPER BOWL CHALLENGE 2009 QUILT! It is FINISHED. It has a label! YEAH!
Enjoy the pictures…..the ones of Carmen are dark – guess I was shooting into the light! Take it from me – she looked great – loved her braided hair!
