Shop duty.

I was on duty at our local quilt meeting house today. We meet in an old school which has very high ceilings and windows up high so that you cant see out of them. In the really hot weather it is usually about 2 or 3 degrees cooler in there than outside.

I love duty. I go alone and usually get so much done - provided there are not too many visitors. Today I pin basted a single quilt which took me all morning. Then, thisarvo I worked out the cutting info on a quilt I want to make using up the leftovers of Harvest Spice. I'm a little short on one or two fabrics but should be able to use some from my stash. I was going to cut some out but decided I need to iron and my iron is so-o-o much better than the one at the quilt house.

The quilt I basted is one of Bonnie Hunters designs, although I adapted it and co-ordinated it. Bonnie calls it Scrap Bargello. I call mine Lightning Strike and it is in blues with a little yellow - doesnt look scrappy at all!! I have made one out of scraps though and it does look good.

Now all I have to do is quilt my Lightning Strike!

Till next time,
Cheers.
