Plodding along with my SVBAQ blocks

October’s Shenandoah Valley Botanical Applique block “King’s Crown” is appliqued, but not yet quilted. I seem to be just a bit behind this month. It’s been a crazy few weeks.




After all this craziness, you can imagine my disappointment this morning when I reached the bottom of the potato chip bag (what? You have never had potato chips for breakfast???) and realized that they had forgotten to put the promised “golden ticket” ($5,000.00) in the bag! I will now have to adjust my budget for the upcoming trip to Vermont!

Cyndi (Busy Thimble) and I will be heading to Shelburne, VT to the Fall AQSG study day. Randy (Barrister’sBlock) just happened to have a trip to Maine planned for this week, so she will be going as well. Woohoo! We’ve been blogging friends since before I started mine and I can’t wait to meet her in person! I hope some more of my NE blogging friends will be making the trip as well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you Cynthia (Wabi-Sabi Quilts)!!!


Have a great quilty day.

  7. Your block looks great! Your outing sounds like so much fun, and I bet the colors are beautiful there! This is my favorite time of year, but it is still around 90 degrees here and it hasn't rained on our property since August 29...so no fall color for us, sigh. Enjoy your study group!

  16. I'm slowly making it through the blog posts over the last few weeks. I'm so glad I didn't miss this beautiful block. Such a clever design with the flowers weaving amongst the leaves and you know that cheddar gets me everytime.
