2016 UFO Challenge - October

I've pulled the top and set it on the HQ16....but there's simply no way on this Earth that I'll quilt it before the end of the month...No.Way.At.All.

If I already had a back, it might have been possible....

Bus Trip to Pennsylvania...

On Friday I went on a shopping (and EATING!) bus trip with Milltown Quilters and Faithful Circle Quilters to Pennsylvania.

First stop was Burkholders Fabrics in Denver, PA.  My first time there - the place seemed huge to me.  Actually, I didn't really have a list of stuff to get so it made it almost impossible to really look at everything.  I found myself just kind of doing laps and randomly picking up odd things.  I like to use stripes for my bindings so I did manage to get some fabric to bind some tops I have made. 

The highlight of the trip for me was - the Shady Maple Smorgasbord!!!  Seriously...as long as I got my lunch I would have been happy to not even see quilt shops!

Last stop was the Kitchen Kettle area in Intercourse, PA.  The weather was absolutely perfect and there are lots of shops and things to look at.  I walked around, in and out of stores, and just enjoyed the afternoon.  Got myself a snack and sat at a table outside and did some serious people-watching!

Still Working on Christmas Gifts!

Still October and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!  I'm working on Holiday tablerunners and I just finished quilting them!  Next up (and last up!) is the binding...Can.Not.Wait.
