Getting more info out

Well Monday I was able go shopping again, oh and I took more posters with me. I went to Shudron Fabrics in Monona, Iowa. What a store. It was the old fashioned clerk with the stale jokes. "I better cut it right or my wife will fire me, she fired me four times in one day once".  It was a fun experience. Lots of fabric to choose from, three floors full. Some not of this era but...
I have several projects to finish up. So I got myself some finish fabrics. The flannel there was really reasonable. I think it will go well on the back of the t-shirt quilt I'm trying to get done for Jay's graduation. I may only have the top done for the party. I am still waiting on a shirt. Those t-shirt quilts are fun to do, there are so many ideas and they go fast when all the prep work is done.
Until next time, meanwhile I am abusing my body by working outside. It is wonderful!!

Real life interferes

This post is sad for me, I need to start working at my real job so I won't have as much time to sew or even post. My real job is dog grooming and with the cold weather it has been slow. Leaving me time to sew and post. Now the weather is getting warmer and the dogs have loooong hair and nails. They need my attention. I will continue to think about how to make this a great show. I am working on feature artists from the area. I have two in mind one doesn't have many quilts but the work she does is wonderful! The other has quality work and she is prolific with many quilts to share. I just need to puzzle out in my head where to display her. I will ask her soon. Until I blog again....
