I located my basting spray and I basted a quilt today. I am so happy. My sewing room is still a mess. I couldn't find a chair in the basement to use, so I fixed a border seam while standing at the sewing machine. (My rolling chair for my machine is upstairs and I would never hear the end of it if I carried a chair down two flights of stairs in my condition.) Of course, the basement now has a little bit of basting spray smell since it is raining and I couldn't baste on the back patio. But who cares? I can quilt tomorrow!
Next Saturday I am going to a Tea with Betty Pillsbury at Fiber on a Whim. Having never been to Fiber on a Whim, I am very excited about seeing this shop. It is sponsored by The Contemporary Quilts and Fiber Arts Alliance. I went to their opening meeting a month or so ago. I had to miss the second meeting because of swim team. Their next meeting is July 11th. I am going to have to convince Rebecca to go shopping with me for the supplies because I am confused by the supply list.

Ooooh, yippee for you! The Fiber on a Whim store looks incredible. Don't go looking at Debra's or Allie's sites before you go or you will find yourself stocking up on beads, ribons, and other embellishments.
Good for you! Finally settling into your new home, preparing to quilt, and attending a "quilting" tea! How you find time with the demanding schedule of kids...well, I get tired remembering the kids' schedules!
Once you've started a quilt in a new house, it's a home! Good for you! I'm glad you're coming to the July 11th meeting too. Don't worry about supplies, there will be tons of stuff there!
so you quilted... lets see what you did!
