Another show, top done, and baby quilt started
Friday evening Michael had a show. It was in town, so I went to the venue right after work. It was in the low 80's and so was the humidity. Unfortunately the sun was in my eyes until about 8 p.m. so I had to find shade behind the road cases and peer thru the spaces between them to see if there were any customers. We did sell a lot of merch and I am going to have to get some more bags made! LOL!! I did take a few pictures, but I was miserable and couldn't get myself to take a picture of our set up. Here are a few shots from the merch booth which was quite aways from the stage. Despite the threat of rain, we had a good crowd. I took these pictures early so the crowd looks sparce. These were the early arrivals about 6 p.m.
I dragged myself outside Saturday morning about 10 to mow the grass only because the next-door neighbor man was going to mow his. I have a lot more to mow but at least the grass that adjoins his yard and the front look decent. Then is rolled in so I couldn't mow anymore.
I got the t-shirt quilt top sewn together and trimmed!
I needed to get it off the design wall so I could work on the baby quilt. I printed the fabric for with the fellow's band logo.
I did get the blocks made for the top and here they are on the design wall.
I did make a stupid mistake. I forgot to make one of the stripes with the checkerboard fabric. Geeze! I figured out which row I am going to replace. I am going to have to take the blocks apart for the blue printed fabric since I only printed and had enough of that blue fabric for the one row. Changing one fabric affects the row above it and below it.
I will fix that tonight then I can start sewing the rows together. I have the strips already cut. I will just replace six of the blocks, so I only have to unsew the six blocks with the stamped fabric.
I received my order from Missouri Star Quilting on Sunday - Fed Ex. They had this Storybook by Kauffman on sale for fifty dollars for a 10 yard bolt. That is a very good deal! I bought Pool and Flamingo. I don't have a particular project in mind for this right now, but they will be nice to have in my stash.
That's great that you got the T-shirt quilt top sewn together. Not so great that you have to unstitch on the baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got that tshirt quilt together in between all of the band dates!
