Finally finished!



I know I haven't kept up with the posts like I should, but I have been feverishly trying to get the raffle quilt done. Today, I finished the quilting, added a sleeve and the binding. I am sewing the binding on now, but took a moment to write this and post some pictures!
Tomorrow, I'm on another road trip to the Athens show with my friend Gail. She needed someone to ride along with her on a family matter, and then to the show. Sounds good to me!
There will be new projects to be done on Sunday, so stay tuned.

Now we just need a name for it.

My friend, and extraordinarily talented art quilter, Kay, had this full page photo and very complimentary comment in the latest issue of Simply Modern. It is the magazine put out by the same company as Quiltmania. She had no idea it was going to be there, so was surprised when I called to congratulate her. Looks like I have a famous friend!

The comment about Kay's work.
Kay's quilt (on the right) is made of Cherrywood fabrics. It is her own design.
FYI: My mentor from a Houston class, Claudia Pfeil's quilt is on the other page!!
Just so you don't think Mr Wazoo has been goofing off...he did this quilt yesterday and a QOV today.

After four days of nearly non-stop rain, the sun peeked out at 6:00 when I quit for the day. More rain expected tomorrow...
