I am getting really close to a finish here. I finished block number 10 last night...AND traced and started the last block. There are only 11 blocks in this series and I love them all. Here are all the blocks together on my design wall. I can't wait to find the perfect reds to border these and get them together and off to the quilter.
And I will finish the week Saturday with a trip to a local quilt show. I am taking a list. I get overwhelmed very easily. I either buy everything or nothing at all. LOL Thimble and Thread always does a terrific show with great vendors. If you are in the St. Louis area here is some more information...This would make a great day trip for some quilting friends. I am going with one of mine! The link will take you to a nice article about the guild and one of few male members...
The day is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L....I have all the windows open and pushed the dog outside. Now to sew!! Are you close to a finish? Tell me!!
Happy Sewing,
Nancy

You are doing a great job on those redwork blocks now! Keep up the good work. Have a fun time at the quilt show, too. I also have found a list is a good idea. In the weeks before the show, I think of many things I'd like to buy (and many of them not available at the LQS). BUT...if I don't write them down and take the list with me, I am very frustrated after the show when I remember what I had HOPED to buy...but didn't. So.....do take a list, so you won't be forgetting to buy certain things (like I used to do at my first couple of shows).
Only one more block - how exciting. I love to go to the quilt shop when I am looking for something to FINISH a project. But still, no list and I forget why I'm there and zero in on the newest display.
Don't you just love this pattern? I did it up in colored threads and really did like it. I'm anxious to see how you finish it, so please post when you have it together.
Oh I wish I was close to a finish on something...I have lots of things sitting on the table next to my chair in the lounge room...but not a stitch was sewn this week....way too tired...but the weekend looms and I hope to have a finish to show on Sunday....I picked up a kit last week that has been on my sewing table for years (and that is the truth!)and put it together...just the stitching around the applique and it will be done....wow ...you are motoring along with those redwork blocks....they look fab....and you know I am a big fan of redwork!
