I am in a 5 week count down
until my local quilt guild's quilt show.
I have been resisting a few things...
1. Buying new fabric, which is hard to do
2. Starting a NEW project, which gets pretty tempting
3. Doing a spring cleaning in my sewing and really straighten out my
mess... that keeps getting scarier all the time
But so far have remained focused on getting the quilts finished, really finished,
for the show. I think I have about 15 or 16 that will be going.
I rounded up my tops and have a steady flow getting long arm quilting.
Half of those are older quilts that are already quilted and might just need a sleeve
and possibly a label.
The exciting part is seeing the quilts coming back from the quilter...
I just got my 2012 FQS Mystery BOM back yesterday!
I will be working on the binding this weekend, along with
another quilt of mine that came back last week or so.
This one is Boardwalk from Boughs of Holly blog.

I have my Boardwalk ready to send off next and I am going to send along this picture
with it. I think the quilting is so pretty on it.
I kind of thing that
getting the binding on those quilts is a kind of spring cleaning in itself.
16 friends stopped by to chat:
WOW - that's quite a few quilts that will be attending...LOL FANTASTIC!! It's got to be exciting to see the Mystery BOM with its quilting. Are you signed up for the 2013 BOM at FQS?
Gorgeous quilts! I really love the BOM quilt. I'm a little jealous -- binding is my favorite part (next to cutting, of course), but I don't have anything ready to bind. :-)
I wish I could see them up close and personal! So darn pretty, you have a nice collection!
Love the quilting on the boardwalk too! I think I need to get mine finished before I scope out the quilting! Hope you don't forget to take lots of pics of the quilt show!!
Your quilts are so beautiful! They just pop off the page...love your choice of colors, designs, and fabrics!
Oh my gosh! You will have 16 quilts in the show!!! Wow! You are my quilting idol!!! So fun to get a quilt back from the long arm gals, isn't it! Good luck with the show!!

Beautiful quilts!!
Love your BOM, it looks great!
Wow! What wonderful quilts...I love the colors in the boardwalk quilt...so pretty and soft. Have a great evening!
Love them all! Have fun!
Love seeing your mystery BOM quilt again! Good luck in your preparations and keeping your sanity and goals in check while you do it!
Ambitious! I have been going through my stack of quilt tops finishing off several; what a great sense of accomplishment. Wish I had done it a long time ago
Now I'm thinking I'd like to finish a project entirely instead of just making the top and tucking it away; but I can't see that I'd seriously do it. lol
I love your projects. Wish I could go to the quilt show. Since I can't be sure to take lots of pictures. Hugs
That quilt is beautiful! You have the best eye for color.
I love your mystery BOM. Are you doing the one from FQS for this year?
I love the setting for your BOM - it's very unique.
