Busy weekend ahead

Good day all!!!   Today is our Quilts of Valor Bee group meeting.  We are at a new location for the next year or so.  This one is much closer to the house than the other one.  I will have two quilt tops to turn in today.  They will be sent to a quilter, returned to the group for binding and then sent out.  We make presentation pillowcases to go with each quilt.   I got up early this am to get some fabrics together to take to the meeting.  A couple of the bright blues are bleeding badly in the wash, so I'm trying to get that issue solved.  Also, the Hoppin' John needs to be started.
Tomorrow afternoon is Farmers Wife Sampler group meeting at Sunflower Quilts in Derby.  I do not have my blocks ready, so will try to get my act together somewhat this evening if I'm not too tired from the all day QOV meeting.  With church in the am, I'll have no time to do any prep work for the blocks.


We got up to 40 here in Wichita yesterday, which improved the streets greatly.  Next week we are supposed to get to around 60!   YES!!!!     Early in the week we set a record low of -17 for that day.  Oh to be in NM now!
Robin, it was great to talk to you!!!  Can't wait to see you at retreat!!  Mary and I are coming with  bells on!!

  1. We got up to 40+ here in the Estancia Valley of NM today--truly wonderful after the 23 below and then 19 below of a couple of days ago!

  2. Those QOVs are beautiful! Love the diagonal line of blocks on the second one, it really makes the whole quilt pop.

  3. I'm also in a Quilts of Valor group where I live. We meet the first Tues of each month, and sometimes more. I'll be driving thru you fair city next month on the way to Texas after picking my son up at college in Missouri. Great quilts.
