September Already

I can't believe it is September! Quilt Odyssey seems like last year and that was only last month! Many exciting things have happened since then:

1. My new show with the Milwaukee Art Quilters opens this evening in Shorewood, WI at the Garden Room/Anaba Tea Room...all quilted items are "tea" related. I made 5 pieces for the show. I am anxious to see which piece(s) they decided to hang. I will meet my Mother and hopefully more friends at the opening reception at 5pm tonight.

2. I have finished the tops for 4! new BBD quilts..small wall hangings including the tree frog, flamingo, sea turtle and one called: "Tea for Two" based on a combination of our tea related items in the postcard and index card line. (Can you tell I have had tea on my mind?) I will finish the quilting this next few weeks in time to bring the quilts to Houston which opens 2 weeks earlier this year! (Oct 10-18th).

3. Finished my quilt for the Ukulele Festival Challenge sponsored by the North Shore Quilters Guild. We are creating a backdrop for the players' stage. Hopefully all 9 of us are done. I will take pix when I get the facing done today and post all pictures soon. Our theme was "the blues".

4. The Quilt Museum building project is back on the front burner. We are still trying to cut costs, find contractors and put out to bid. We are still on track for a build in the near future. Keep tuned in for more details.

5. My show, "Pieces in Time" continues to run at the Museum through Oct 4, 2008. We have had great attendance and I am pleased to have heard so many compliments from people from around the state.

Have to run, September brings a new school year as well in these parts..our son is off to Madison for his first year in college and our daughter returns to high school!
