My Name in Lights!! (Okay, not lights, but it is in print!)

My very favorite Quilting Magazine came today (Quilter's Home) and one of the titles on the cover read: "55 Rad Blogs", well, I'm reading along and what do I see, but MY BLOG LISTED!!! Oh my goodness, so I figured I'd better post some quilting stuff!!! I've actually been quilting quite a bit, just no finished projects to show - so here's what's going on:

I started working on this last year (or maybe the year before??). I took a class at Utah Quilt Guild's Quilt Festival, here is where I am:I am tired of 'stripping', I tell ya'. I had the brilliant idea to use this as a 'leader and ender' for another quilt I am making and it is getting closer to getting finished. I love the design, but I'm ready for it to be done already!

I just bought these fabrics tonight (Gotta love a quilt shop that is open late - thanks, Fabric Mill!)

This is going to be for a class that we're doing tomorrow at our Bee's quilt retreat (tomorrow is our third and last day - quilting from 10-5ish for 3 days straight!!) I'm supposed to have it cut out, after having colored in the design, so I know what colors to cut where, but I am too tired, so I guess I will color & cut tomorrow. That may be a good thing, since my left shoulder is really sore, I think it's from sewing for hours at a time!!!! Can you imagine? I will dope up with ibuprofen tomorrow and head back to the 'sweatshop' - he he he.
