Back to Farmer's Wife

Someone posted their completed Farmer's Wife Quilt and I got inspired to go back and work on mine.  I had thirty blocks completed so I only need 20 more for a lap quilt.  I got motivated and cut out five more block pieces.  Now to find time to sew them together.


I got my really truly pink quilt top pieced.  The weather was not conducive to picture taking a week ago and this weekend I got to enjoy the Livestock Show in San Antonio with grandkids.  I don't think I sat down for five hours.  My feet and legs were really sore this morning.  We had fun though.

Tomorrow I have to piece a baby quilt top for a friend who is an exhibitor at Quiltcon.  Luckily the pattern is easy.  I can have it done by the afternoon.  I am trying some curved improv for my Madrona Road Challenge Quilt.  I need to have that done in a week or so for our guild meeting.  I am aiming for the grand prize.

This week is Quiltcon.  I am trying to get in shape for my 18.5 hours of volunteer work plus lectures.  Phew!  Thursday through Monday are going to be hectic.  I may need some of those Dr. Scholls gellin' insoles.
