where to begin?

Last post, I was just heading off to one of my guilds' quilt show.   It was a great show - around 200 quilts and so much wonderful talent and inspiration!  I was thrilled to find this
pinned to this quilt  Citrus Sisters

This one

and then this!

Wow!  So cool!  (Sorry folks, I don't take a camera with me to quilt shows, so no in situ pictures)

I made some great progress last weekend on my Tangled Textiles piece - just a peek at my colour selection,

Then this week, I received an email telling me that my CQA - "It's time for colour"  - quilt has sold!
I'm so pleased!

Now, to top it all off I'm headed off this weekend for a 4 day quilting retreat with some fab friends! I'm sure there will be a few IG posts floating around at #LoonLakeQuilters.  Maybe, just maybe, between wine and chatting, I just might get this top pieced together - it has been a wip since April, and I'd like to get it finished and donated.

There are a few other projects packed and ready to go, (okay, so maybe 9 or 10) as you know you never want to run out of things to do!





Hope you have plans for a fabulous weekend, but whatever your plans, make sure you take a minute at 11:00 am on November 11 to remember those that have fought for us all.
Happy quilting! Janet
