Back at school

I am back at school.  Like I haven't got enough on my plate already.....  I am taking an online class for the quilt path, which is part of my longarm system that I have.  The classes will run every Tuesday for 8 weeks.  I am looking forward to it.  The first class was a success.  Even though we went over some of the more basic information, I still picked up a few good tips.

I have been productive in a lot of areas around here these past couple of weeks.  Mostly getting caught up, cleaning up and getting ready for the quilt show.

You may find it slow for this month on post, as I try to cram everything in.  I will try not to bore you with the mundane stuff.

In the meantime, enjoy the fall weather, as we quilters get back into the real quilting season.

Another hexagon floret done

After playing around with hexagon pieces and bundling them up in sets to make my diamonds and the parts of the final border, I was bitten again with the need to make some florets.  I took out my travel container with the pieces and tools.

To my surprise, I already had a floret almost done.  I only needed three white hexagons and all eight purples to complete it fully.  I couldn't resist.  I finished it.  Now to add it to my right hand floret border.  I also have three other florets done, just waiting for the white and purple parts.

I really need to put this away and finish all the other handwork stuff that needs to be done.  I just could not resist.  I did a bit more with this hexagon quilt, but I will wait until those pieces are done before sharing them with you.

Today, I am catching up on all the loose ends and getting a lot done.  Tomorrow will be another day to get things done.  Tomorrow I should finish the quilting for the purple stars quilt, barring any unforeseen difficulties.  I am certainly enjoying the extra day in this long weekend.

Enjoy!
