Tired & Broke!
What a fun two days I've had. The girls that went with me kept me laughing all the way. Good friends, and great company.
My feet hurt, my back hurts from driving for two days, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat! There were so many great samples at the quilt shops, I think I'm on sensory overload. I want to start at least 20 new projects :)..... I just don't know which one to start first!
Now to the broke part. I spent about $130 on the kits to make the quilt that was displayed in each shop. I was buying a kit for one of my friends that couldn't go with us. So really only $65 of that is actually my debt. But I definitely did a fabulous job keeping all the pattern writers and designers in business. I haven't added it all up yet and I don't think I will. Ignorance is bliss!
That's it for me tonight. I'm feeling pretty good about posting two days in a week!

2009 Shop Hop
Well, it's been a long time again. I'm not sure where all my time goes. I can guarantee you it's not spent cleaning! I wish I could say that I've been busy sewing, but I can't even claim that excuse. Seems like I'm just fiddling away my time.
Tomorrow is going to be a fun time. I am going on the Amish Shop Hop with two of my friends. We will visit nine of the shops, and finish the last three on Thursday. I love going to all the different shops and just looking at all the samples on the walls. The girls that are going with me are so much fun. I hope I don't break the bank. I love to shop!
Maybe I'll post some pictures tomorrow night. Hopefully I won't be too tired!

Quilt Show
So I've been a bad blogger once again. I can't believe it's been almost a whole month since I posted anything.
We have been in full quilt show mode for the last week. Our guild puts on a show every 18 months. There has been some serious talk about doing it every two years. I'd say the majority of our members are over 50, so it takes us all a lot longer to get everything ready. Tuesday from 4-7 we were to deliver quilts for display at the show. Since the ladies could also bring items for our boutique, I stayed til 7 so the items could be checked in and priced. I had wonderful help with this, it's more complicated than I thought. When we were finished several of us went out to supper. Wednesday I went back at 9 am to help with the quilt judging (my job was to help present the quilts to our judge). I stayed til 5ish, and worked on setting up the rest of the boutique. Again, I had fantastic help! I couldn't have done it without Sherry (no blog). Thursday was our big day. We arrived around 4 and finished up around 7. We have 150 or so quilts on display. All the stanchions had to be assembled and quilts hung. Some of the husbands showed up to help, thankfully. So Friday we open the show at 10 am til 5 pm and Saturday we are open 10 am til 3 pm . I hate to even try to add up all the hours I've spent there.
If anyone lives close enough to visit our show, we'd love to see you!
So that's my excuse and I will try to get back into the swing of this blogging again.
