Snow Days

Guess you thought nothing to get me to start again with this blog? Guess being stranded from the shop by this snow will do it.
I was prepared, after hearing that businesses were encouraged to close, I brought home tons of paperwork and even blocks to make for next summer's shop hop. We did get enough snow and cold to not try to open the shop. But not much work done here at home because my glasses broke.
The shop hop blocks are getting made just slowly, because my glasses have only the left lens. The paperwork will just have to wait.
We hope to venture in tomorrow to see if we can get through the parking lot to open the store. Will let you know.

Renee's A McCall's Magazine Challenge Finalist

Have you seen the Nov/Dec issue of McCall's Quilting Magazine? Did you see the picture of our own Renee Chesnut? How thrilling to see her and her quilt. Congratulations to Renee on her challenge quilt that earned her a place in the finals. Now she has another quilt to make, as she competes in the next round. What fun we all had in the shop giving her our fabric preferences.

Shake Up Time In Oklahoma

So, what does it take to get this blog started again? How about an Oklahoma earthquake? Of course, I didn't feel it, as I was on the road to the shop, but I still remember the one in had in 1952. Who else remembers it? Carol doesn't and we were in the same school. We've been shaking it up at Patchwork Place too. Our Finish Line is fast approaching, Tuesday, October 26th. We are anxious to see everyone's projects and this year we will add the pictures of your quilts to our new digital picture frame in the shop. Today we made up some Treat or Treat bags. These are super-value grab bags with a coupon for a future purchase. Great fun and only $5.00.

Picture from Edmond Show

Here we are at the Edmond Quilt Show the other weekend. Their theme centered around the Art of Quilting and they really showed the Art. And I did not have the pressure of selecting only one quilt for an award. That is the hardest part, because they all are wonderful in their own way.
Can you believe Tom let Charlene take his picture?

Carrie's Winning Quilt at Norman Show

Thanks to Lorriane, here is a picture of Carrie's whole-cloth quilt. She received the Patchwork Place Sponsor Award for this outstanding quilt. Of course, pictures just don't give justice to quilts, it is beautiful.
