Lazy Days...

I've been missing in action for the last week--not because I have been that busy--just very lazy.

The skies have been overcast and it's been pretty cool outside (even snow on Sunday--ack!), so I think I am going into hibernation mode! 

I forced myself to get my Pie in the Sky blocks put together.
This quilt is a riot of color and really fun to put together!

The best thing about Pie in the Sky is that it burns up 48 fat quarters--love that!!
The other best thing is that I won't be taking it to another retreat--yee-haw!
Pie in the Sky is the cover quilt on Kim Diehl's book Simple Graces.

I finally got this months Dixie Diary blocks completed--Shooting Stars.

On our way to quilt camp earlier this month, Sandi and I stopped at the St. Cloud Heritage Quilter's Running with Scissors quilt show.  Most of the photos I took were  inspirational close-ups of machine quilting I plan to "borrow", but the following pics are a few of the highlights for me:

This was a fabulous quilt!

They had very cool handmade ribbons.

I wish I had a closeup of this one--so many pieces and perfect!

There were several One Block Wonder quilts--this one was especially pretty.
I've been on a quest to find my copy of the One Block Wonder book--I know it's here somewhere!

This one was so elegant--you would never dream it was made with a corn print fabric! She had a piece of it pinned on the upper left corner. I wanted to make a One Block Wonder years ago, but never could find a fabric that I thought would work. After seeing this one, I am inspired to try to find the perfect fabric. 

The tiny prairie point edging was a fun finish for this quilt. 

This star was hung up pretty high so it was hard to get a good photo, but you can see it's stunning!
