Exchanging My Babes for Vegas Peeps

A quilt-related weekend and more visiting.

How long does it take to finish a quilt you're not working on???? 
We all know the answer to that.... because we're all just as guilty....

The Quilting niece and I spent two days getting her back on track with a UFO she started more than FIVE YEARS AGO! 
Well, I have UFOs that are at least that old...so I guess I can't judge.  We worked on this quilt my last trip to Vegas ...
July, 2021

But she is back on track now and hopefully can get it finished without me sitting next to her, cracking the whip.  Big progress has been made; the last two blocks are now done, the layout planned with sashing and corner stones,  and the quilting and binding plan made, Sew Yeah* has finishing services and the cost is very reasonable.

Slow and Steady wins the race...but you do have to be IN the race...just sayin, keep at it.

We quilters are often asked to "help" with garment projects. (Which really means...."can you do this for me"...)  My sister asked me to help her finish a night gown for her granddaughter.

I had to dig deep to remember some of my basic garment-sewing skills...but, we made it happen.

 

No trip to Vegas would be complete without a trip to *Sew Yeah.  They have a new bigger, brighter location. It Is Very Nice!!  Their new location now includes a section for sewing furniture and cabinets.

Dez and I browsed for quite a while, touch all the fabric getting our " fabric fix." We nearly made our escape without buying  any fabric....but....right next to the door was a bin of fat quarter bundles....
and I could NOT resist!!

 

 

 

Who doesn't LOVE Barbie...especially the classic Barbie!!

Fifteen Fat Quarters!!  I need to decide on a pattern...I'm thinking a Wonky Star. Or, something like it.

 Fussy Cut Miss Barbie for the Center of the star.

 

Next time you are in Vegas, this shop is worth a visit!! Website

 

 

 

 

And with the blink of an eye, it was time to say good-bye, again, to the people that I love and return to
"my 'ol Kentucky duplex."  Home - Sweet - Duplex.

 Until next time....
