Cold

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday                                        Today

I had internet problems last night.

I took an English Paper Piecing class with Lisa Louise Adams.

We made a little bowl.

Mine is on the upper left side.

Most are flat because of traveling home with them.

This is my finished bowl.

I was able to finish it before going into festival.

I was close to the front of the line.

My damage from the vendors.

Mostly EPP and tools for EPP.

I am taking a sewing class from Gyleen Fitzgerald today.

It's a sad day because my Dad went to be in heaven in 2013 on this day.

Miss you Dad.

Second day of class

This is what Houston looks like today.

I had a class with Karen Kay Buckley today.

It is the first time I've tried to applique this way.

I really liked it. 

This is what I bought, or what Randy bought me for Christmas .

This is what I finished today.

Baby Girl Clothing Quilt Finished

Finished the binding on the baby girl clothing quilt.

This is showing on a king-sized bed.

It is finished except for the label.

Design Wall Monday

I'm linking to Small Quilts Doll Quilt's Design Wall Monday and Monday Makings.

Not really a design wall, but I'm away at the Quilt Festival and this is what I'm working on.

My first try at English Paper Piecing.

First day of classes

My 8 blocks from the Charlotte Angotti class.

I bought a couple of patterns from my diamond English Paper Piecing class, one being the hexgon class that I didn't go to. 

This is how far I got with the diamonds.

Lots of good information in the class.

WE shall see how this all goes.

Houston International Quilt Festival

My room at the Hilton

The view from my window.

Looking through the windows 

Check-in was very quick

  

One of the classrooms.

Hallway to the classroom.

There was a festival right outside the hotel.

Tomorrow is my first two classes.

Quilted

The Girl's baby clothing quilt is quilted.

I'll get the binding on it and take it with me to the Quilt Festival to work on in the evenings.

Fall Placemats

This was another UFO that I've completed this year.

They will go to DD's apartment.

Two different centers, but the rest is the same fabrics.

Update

4 placemats quilted

Their bindings are done too.

A name tag made.

Baby Girl Clothing top finished.

Guild Challenge for a Christmas Tree mini quilt done.

Guild Challenge

Our guild had a challenge last month where we brought in 3 FQs and someone else makes something for us.

We bring them to the November meeting.

My partner had the two greens and one pink FQ.

I added in the poinsettia fabric.

I wanted to do something other than a bag.

That seems to be what I've made before, so I made:

One hexagon table topper

One pincushion

One Kleenex cover

One mini thread catcher

A set of coasters 

and

A self-lined bag that I put everything into.

I hope she likes it when she sees it next month.

Sunday Stash Report

I've sewed every day, but sometimes not for a long time.

I was out of the house 3 days this week, and that makes the progress slower.

One more week to the Houston Quilt Festival.
