Last week, I caved and started a patriotic Steppers quilt! I was so excited to work on it that I forgot to take a picture of the intial fabric pull. Doh! I have a bin of 3.5 inch cut strips so I dug into that and pulled out the blue and red ones. i decided to sew all the reds together and all the blues together and use white as the accent.
In a jiffy I had all the blocks made...this step went really fast!

On Sunday, this happened...again. DD is on the move. This time out of her downtown Milwaukee apartment to one in the suburbs. She is leaving a studio apartment and moved into a 2 bedroom upper in a house. This is the return of the trailer Monday afternoon.
DD took me to her downtown coffee shop, where dogs are welcomed and even get a 'pup cup of whipping cream'.
We drove through downtown Chicago on our way back to Michigan. There was a wreck on the by-pass that would have added an hour to our drive. Thank goodness for maps and our I phone information technology.
Today I headed over to downtown Grand Rapids for the AQS Quilt Show QOV Booth. In the last 36 hours, I have been in downtown Milwaukee, driven through downtown Chicago and staying in downtown Grand Rapids. Here's the view of the river from my room. I guess, when it rains...it pours as I have hardly BEEN anywhere this year! Guess I making up for it this week!
and not to disappoint, here is my booth. I was told to bring a couple of rwb quilts but have found out others are bringing some, too. I made a few of the 2022 QOV Floating Churn dashes for decorations but think they will come down. They are up a little haphazardly. This will be my daytime home for the next few days.
Linking up with Judy at Design Wall Monday
You broke down and gave in to the quilt!!! GO you!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun moving DD - hope she loves her new place!
