First meeting with the Milwaukee/Madison Modern Quilt Guild

Ok, I finally made it to a meeting, like after 3 mnths:)  I enjoy meeting some of the members.  I learned how to hand applique:).  I was able to get my binding sewn and pressed for our son's green/brown quilt.  I just need to get some batting(most likely at JoAnn's) and then I have to get the backing fabric for it? I have no idea which color I am going with on the backing.  Green, Brown? So many choices:) I also worked on my brother's quilt for some of the time.  I enjoy the Mill House Quilt Shop.  I will be going back there some day, even though it is like 1-1/2 or less away from my house but it is a straight shot on Hwy-94 West. 
Ok, need to take a shower here and get some house work done as well as some quilting:)

Mid Summer Time

Ok, this is mid summer time here in WI.  We were on vacation with our family and my husband's parents.  We went up to our cabin.  Just loved it.  Nice weather finally.  Ok, we are back at home(came back this past weekend) and now it is Monday.  Time to get back in the swing of things.  Before I left for vacation, I received a gift card from my favorite quilt shop(the patched works) so yesterday on sunday I went there and picked up 2 packs of 1/8th fabric(from the 30's stuff), I paid for my Syliva Bridal Sampler class that I missed due to I was on vacation. Also I paid for my next one as well.  Ok, now I am going to try and figure out what I am going to make with my new fabric, oh wait, I need to put that on hold, I need to finish up my already unfinished projects.
