Up and down week

Hi all,

Busy week with a change in the schedule midweek.

I quilted Mon and Tues. Wed I ran errands... but ended the day with a horrendous sinus headache:( Was to go to Quilt Con in Austin on Thursday but cancelled. Happens the driver of our little group also had a sinus headache. So Thurs was a def sick day! Fri left with Pat towards Melissa. It's North of Plano. We met up with friends and went shopping and ate at The House of Gyros in Mesquite... My favorite!!! More shopping and then back to host house. Sat we went to Allen for a Make a Blanket Day and came back with 59 Project Linus quilts/blankets. Was a great trip! Stayed off 35 as much as we could! Beautiful scenery when you go the back roads!

So today is laundry and rest day! Although I loaded a quilt to start tomorrow:)

So here is what got done this week:

TaDa!!! Here is Trish's cacti quilt. Very Modern!!!

Love it! I used the background fabric to design the quilting on a few blocks.

Others were just fills. All freehand. I outlined every cacti.

Love the way it turned out! There were 23 different thread colors used and 21 bobbins.

Was fun to quilt!


Backing fabric by Kaffe:)

My goodies from the trip. 
The fats in front are from Quilted with Love in McKinney including the cat fat.
The 2 small scrap bags, 2 other unrolled fats, and 1/2 cream are from Watt A Find in Mesquite.
And lastly the big scrap bag and gray yardage are from Pieced Together studio also in Mesquite.
Fun trip!!!

So will get back to work tomorrow:)
Have an awesome week!!!!
