July 23, 2009 - Catching up

I have been blogging, but it is proving harder than I thought to maintain two blogs. I promise to try to do better. However, I'm not going to try to re-create some of my other postings here, so I hope you will visit my other blog http://vesuviusmama.blogspot.com/ to get up to speed. Some highlights -

1. Jason won 2nd place in the quilt show at the county fair with his first quilt (youth division). He's proud, I'm proud, we're all proud!

2. I finished the Crumb Cake Quilt Stand and now it just needs a label and it is off to my sister for good.

3. I finally put a hanging sleeve on last year's Challenge Quilt. It isn't on the wall yet, but that will happen soon.

4. I have finished disassembling my great-great-grandmother's quilt, and am plugging away at putting it back together again.

5. I have begun this year's challenge quilt at my quilt guild. It is a round robin that we do ourselves. The first month, we were given 4 blocks to choose from - we made one. The next month, we were given instructions for the first "round" - it had to include at least one triangle. Each month we will receive instructions for the next "round", and we should be done with the top in October. Here's the center and round 1:

Yet another weekend is approaching when I won't get to sew - I'm off to a wedding. One day, I'll have all the time in the world to sew to my heart's content, right? One day...

Congratulations to Jason! I love his quilt. It seems I remember you posting a pic before. Your quilts are turning out great. I love the quilting on the crumb cake quilt. Rhoda
