Well the end of summer is here. Sniff sniff! There is a tree outside my kitchen window that is all orange and loosing it leaves. I can't believe how time flies. We had a nice family weekend to celebrate the end of summer. We visited the Minnesota State Fair this weekend and ate too much food! The baby loved the animals and we even let her tromp around outside the stroller even though we witnessed a runaway lama incident. She had a blast!
The handwork building was amazing. I couldn't get over this quilt. The pieces were so small (see my finger) and all hand done I am assuming. There were a few other designer fabric spotting! Love the woodgrain cowboy shirt!
On Labor Day I was relaxing from our travels and flipping through my blog reader and I came across the Old Red Barn Quilt Along!
This round they are making wonky log cabin quilts lead by the Quilt Dad! You can see all the progress on the flickr group! I immediately started picking out my 16 fat quarters! I am so excited to get started. The instructions are simple and this is a great way to begin with quilting or for those with experience to do a wonky quilt! Here are my fabric choices! They started Sept 1 but i think you can join in any time! You should! I will post my progress!
Ah, the Minnesota State Fair... I had the pleasure of attending a few years back as my band was hired to play for a few days in a row. I remember the surfeit of foods that were battered and deep-fried. And the Fair-Dos; I so wanted a Fair-Do.
