UFO Update

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I missed posting for the past few days.  Every time I travel, I have really good intentions of staying on top of things...and every time, those intentions seem to get foiled.

Well, I'm in Colorado at the moment, and it's still only 10:34 pm here on Friday....so, I'm not too late on my Friday UFO update!  LOL.

At my Friday Night Sew In last week, I made more progress on this quilt.  You may remember that that the previous Friday Night Sew in, I had finished the blocks, laid it out, and started sewing it together.  I got most of the rest of the rows sewn together and on the quilt this time around.  I have one more row to sew on, and the top is done.  I have not been too careful in getting things to line up just so.  I am in "get-'er-done" mode.  But it's still turning out just fine.  I think I may just try to quilt this one myself.  It will be good practice.

Sorry the photo has a yellow cast....it was taken in the gymasium of the church where we do our Friday Night Sew Ins.

Hope on over to Susan's blog, Blackberry Creek, to see what everyone else is up to on their UFOs.  I love her red/pink pinwheels!

I probably won't be able to post much for the next few days.  I am in Denver at a professional conference. I am feeling a little uptight, because I have to give some major talks, chair an editorial board meeting, attend a meeting for a board I was just elected to, and I have lots of other stuff going on.  And, I always get to see a lot of former students who've moved on in their professional careers, old friends from graduate school, and wonderful colleagues whom I only get to see this one time a year.  It is really great. It is really exhausting.  And it is always inspring and uplifting for me.  I look forward to this conference every year.

But...there will be little time to post.  I am sorry I haven't gotten back to my last guild meeting, and I have many other things to share.  I'll get to them as I have a little down time this month!

I am also a little behind in responding to your comments.  I apologize.  I'll try to get caught up here shortly!

Talk to you all again soon!  Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!  I hope it finds you all safe and happy.

Until next time,

Mama Pea

I love your quilt. The colors you chose are great. It will be fun to quilt it yourself. Anxious to see it when it's done. Sounds like you are very busy. Have missed your posts, but certainly understand. Have fun and stay safe.

Hi Stephanie,
Your quilt is beautiful. I love the colors you have chosen. Will you quilt it by hand or machine?
Sounds like you have a large helping on your plate right now... I'm sure you will have a wonderful time and remember to "BREATHE"

Nine patches and snowballs. Simple blocks but they have a sophisticated look when set together. This is going to be very pretty.

Love your quilt! Stephanie, blogging should be the last thing on your mind right now - you just concentrate on what you have to do girl!
