October Update

So much has been going on since I wrote last.

I went to my usual quilting workshop in Northern Michigan the first week of October. It was good to get away and I finished one quilt top and got a good start on another.

Then my quilt guild had our quilt show, which takes place every even year. I entered five new pieces but, as usual, did not win any ribbons.  The ribbons are awarded by popular vote and I'm not sure the vast majority of people understand or appreciate my quilts. It's easy to buy a pattern and replicate someone else's quilt - it's harder to design and make your own.

Just got back yesterday from a week in the Smoky Mountains - and I'm still trying to recover from that.
It was fun - but now need to get back to my scedule.

That's all for now. More and pictures to come later.
