Open House

Saturday was the Open House at my local quilt shop, Sew Much for Quilting, where I'll be teaching a bunch of classes this fall.  I'm teaching a class on scalloped borders and binding, one on T-shirt Quilts, and also the Quilting 101 and 301 classes (6 each.)  This Friday 8/29 is also the last class in my Sleep Mat Workshop, so we'll be finishing those.

As for today, I realized that we are at exactly 2 months until the Houston show begins (International Quilt Market), and with the Labor Day and our local Shop Hop yet to come, there's going to be a lot of work left to do without much time.  Today, since I didn't have any pressing deadlines, I'm spending some time catching up on some projects that I've put on hold.  One of which is an expansion of my Idea Book for the Quilter's 2 1/2" Toolkit.  I've been wanting to add information about the use and capabilities of each of the individual pieces and now I'm about half way through.  This will add another 4-5 pages to the Idea Book, which I'll be reposting on my website once it's done.

I've also decided to add a paper copy of the template into the Bethlehem Star Tree Skirt pattern, so if you bought the pattern, and don't already have the Quilter's 2 1/2" Toolkit set and need a paper template, email me at: email@LilacCottageDesigns.com for a copy and I'll send it to you.
