Quilts are not just "whipped up" in a day

Unless, of course, you are Eleanor Burns. Monday was my quilting class and I really liked it. There were about 6-8 of us in the class. It was amazing that almost everyone there was either a teacher on vacation, or retired school employee! It must be the mathematical appeal of the quilt. It took me all day to finish 4 of the log cabin blocks and 4 of the fence rail blocks.












The quilt we are making is kind of like a sampler, which is cool, because I will be learning a lot of techniques this way. I am still pretty bummed that I am missing three out of the six classes.


Andy and I are leaving tomorrow morning to go to Newport Beach for a few days. We have never been there before, so we are looking forward to having a few days away in a new place. Of course, here I am blogging instead of packing. I wonder when I will get that done??


















And, speaking of getting things done, my next project is to tackle my sewing room. This will take days I am sure! (I am posting these pictures in the hope that it will shame me into cleaning up this mess!)
