Another Month Bites the Dust

We are coming up on the end of the year.... I've been traveling for work and not sewing a bit.
BUT, this next couple of weeks I should be finishing my Christmas Quilts...

In the mean time... have a Great Thanksgiving Day.

My First Trunk Show!!

October was a BUSY month.  I wish I could say my busy-ness was sewing or quilting related... alas... it was not ... it was work.  BUT just before I went on an extended business trip (where I was NOT able to take Miss Ellie (my 1951 Singer Featherweight) because I was on too many air planes and in too many different hotel rooms.) (But, I did get the binding on another Christmas quilt finished.  Stay tuned...when it gets closer to Christmas I will post pictures of the 2015 Christmas Quilts.)

...Just before I left on my business trip; I was invited by a local school to do a "trunk show" for their art department.  My FIRST trunk show!  I was so nervous and excited.  But, it was soooo (sew) fun!

Explaining how a quilt is constructed.

My VERY First Quilt.  Showing the kids the different blocks.

Answering Questions

Simple Quilt.  Dragons were a big hit.

Best of Show.  Everyone loved Harry Potter's Bookshelf

I had the privilege of speaking to three classes.  The 2nd and 3rd graders were the most enthusiastic (the high schoolers were bored to tears.)  But, who knows how many quilters were born that day! 

It was so much fun, I can't wait to do it again.
