I haven't been on my blog in so long that the format has changed on me. Wow. This is bad.
So sorry.
I have not been up to much. I am finishing a quilt for a friend's little boy. She wanted a twin, 10" block flannel, cordory, and solid quilt. We ventured in JoAnn's and found everything she wanted. It is an assortment of rust, navy, light blue and brown. I am quilting it now and have found sewing a straight line is so much harder than fmq. So I have a few rows to rip out.

I also have been working on the mystery from Mysteries for Relay and have a ways to go on it.

I finished my bow tie swap with the gals at Cobbled Court Quilting Circle and need to figure out what to do with those. Probably a table topper or runner.

And I went to a Book Signing with Marie Bostwick on Thursday through Cafe Sewciety and had the best time ever with Judy, the owner, Reenie, and Marie.  She was fabulous. She spoke of her background, her quilts, her past books, future books, and the new book "Ties that Bind". 

It was a great turnout with over 60 people.

I also came across a wonderful concept. Out Number Hunger. I was making blueberry muffins for Eric, he is home for the weekend, and on the back of the box is Out number Hunger.
You go to the website www.outnumberhunger.com and enter the code from the box and you will give 5 meals to your local food bank. Awesome!! On the site will also give you other items to look for in the stores that will offer the code and there are many. Im so excited about this.

I will add photos later.
