Today was the first of it kind,the small town,well not so much as a small town in downtown
Oswege,Illinois held a Celebration of Quilts there was over 200 quilts on display right on main

street.

these are a few of the quilts that were on display

I liked this one

This one is Lisa one of the girls from the last year quilt club from what I understant she was a teacher

for this quilt it used a lot of different feet when making this one.

You know black and white and red all over just a old saying.

Well I not a baseball fan from this state,but now if I was in St Louis,well you get it

for all the White Sox fan this one is for you.

got to have one for Christmas,this one was a roll a month or was it a week can't remember but mine is

still in the packages they came in,you know someday it will get done.

Some of the quilts are just WOW the pictures don't show all the beautiful work that some of the women or men put in to these quilts.

I forgot that the Quilt show was put on by all the Ladies from the Prairie Stitches Quilt

Shoppie they did a wonderful job and most of them were there at 5:00 Am. I bet most of the are in bed unded there quilts,its a little cool here.

Thanks You Ladies for a wonderful Day.

One of the Speakers was Edyta Sitar from Laundery Baskets Quilts she showed some of her quilts

My Local Quilt Shop has Mystery once a month and this is one of the smaller quilts thay we have done

and one of the first that I have every finished,will almost finished it still needs the backing,and batting.

My kitchen is red,green,and antique white,and apples on the wall paper so it will go well in he kitchen.

I have also  been working on 1.5 strips for Scrap Club,another Club at the shop,we are making rail fence.  Last year we had  a  1.5 strip exchange and so I pulled those out along with some fabric

to cut more 1.5 strips so I can have a veriety of strips.

A Day with friends

Today I spent with 3 friends to celebrate our birthdays Pat was in February,Debbi was yesterday,Colleen and mine will be on Saturday we went Lone Star Bar and Grill for our once a year grilled pork chop,baked potatoe, and baked sweet potatoe,dite coke what could be better this this with friends.

Then we went retail shopping but we had to check out Goodwill,a card shop,quilt shop and last but not least Dairy Queen for a Ice cream,not bad for a day with friends.  We will see how much this day will cost me for putting some of the weight back on that I lost from surgery.  I lost 30 lbs not the best way to loose weight. 

I want to wish you all well have a wonderful day stitching.
