Yikes!

I don't know where the time as gone but I had signed up to sew along with the Shenandoah Valley Botanical quilt which starts October 1st. Yikes, that is tomorrow! I haven't even picked out my background fabric yet.


I'd sure like some company with this. Won't you join Dawn (Collector with a Needle) and Hilda (Every Stitch) and many others in this fun adventure? You can order your pattern here. Woohoo!

  3. Oh Dear! I'm the worst at picking fabrics for a quilt..I pull them, put them back & so on...I think I have a little bit of Lucille Ball in me..
    Good luck choosing..

  4. I only watch when it comes to applique. This is an ambitious quilt. Hope you can zero in on just the right fabric quickly! : )

    1. I think I've found it but I'm a little nervous that it might be too much color. Is there such a thing?

  5. Hope you found your background quickly. Were you dodging raindrops today? I saw Maine was flooding. Stay dry.

    1. Zeroing in on the choice. And yes, we made it through the flooding o.k. but we were very fortunate.
