July 23, 2011

Well, best layed plans! I have the borders all finished on the Moda Mystery Quilt for the first half of the year EXCEPT for just a few 2 1/2" squares of the red on red paisley from Moda called Puzzle Pieces. If any of you out there have a 2 1/2" strip of that fabric you could spare, I would be greatly appreciative!!! Worst case scenario I will need to order a bolt - 12 yards - to finish up. It is a great red and another bolt would be nice, but there are things we need more right now at the shop.

The weather has been a bit better the last couple of days - not so hot. It is even raining a little right now which will be a great help to yards and gardens. My yard looks like I'm planning on making straw - not fit for any beast to munch on  - it is so very dry.

Some of you may have heard we are collecting donations for Caroline Barrett. She had a house fire and lost lots of quilting supplies. I will add 20% to the value of the donations we receive so she can purchase anything she wants to replenish her stock. Both Caroline and her husband are doing well, but sadly all three cats perished in the smoke.

Keep on Quilting!
