YIKES!!!!!! Only ONE week left!!!!

This past week I have been busy with LOTS of paperwork and running around trying to get things organized for the QQQ 50 1/2 Birthday Party. I can’t believe that it’s a week from today. (Hopefully at this time next week we will be having a nice relaxed breakfast with all our family – do you think I am DREAMING?????) Our house feels like it is being taken over by quilts. My children’s sewing classes ended on Wednesday so I took a couple of the sewing machine down and put this table up in my studio to stack some of the quilts on. (We actually have a couch in our living room.)

Here is my quilt rack with a bunch of the smaller quilts draping over it.

I have also been working on the plan of how/where to hang each quilt. I have made a template like this for each panel that we will be setting up. I have taken pictures of most of the quilts and have been moving them around to try and get what seems like a logical and appealing way to group and hang the quilts. As I have been doing this I have also remembered some of my older projects that I have up in my attic. I have matching tied quilts and nightgowns that I made for Emily and her doll for Christmas 1985. Along with that I had made matching a baby quilt and sleeper (I was due in February but didn’t know if it was a boy or girl). I have found all these pieces except Emily’s nightgown. Fun to see all this stuff together. I think this will make for a fun panel to show what kind of work I was doing back then.
Anyway, I am cleaning house today. The wave of family starts to arrive today. Let the FUN begin!!!!!! Hope to see you next Saturday.

    Can't wait and my commitment earlier in the day to my son has been wiped off the calendar. Thanks to the Puerto Rican Day Festival in NYC, a day car shopping with Mom is pushed back a week. I land Friday night and will see you on Saturday… 🙂
