Twas the night before...

no, not Christmas; it's the night before I get 'the' shot in my knee and I'm really hoping it works because my knee is really killing me right now.  I am bone on bone and this shot is supposed to put some cushioning back in between the bones from what I understand.  Actually, I'm at the point that I don't care what it does as long as it takes the pain away!  My back is still hurting on occasion and I think it's because of my knee.

I got the red borders sewn onto the Chicken Buffet quilt (no photo yet) and binding is cut and pressed and rolled around an empty t.p. tube; I did forget to make the label, though, and I still don't have backing worked out.

Instead, I pulled this HUGE yardage ( 9 1/2 yds) out of my stash where it's been 'aging' for several years.  I decided I could use it on both the Flight Plan Traffic Pattern quilt and this one that I can't remember the name of.

name unknown for now... will just call it 'other' for now

Flight Plan Traffic Pattern is on the frame.... Great news is that the backing fabric is 60" wide!! so what I had to cut for Flight Plan Traffic Pattern is barely noticeable so there will be plenty for the 'other' quilt.  There might even be enough for backing for a smaller quilt, too.  We'll see  :).  That fabric was a steal... $8.00 for 9.5 yards.  It appears to be a 'polished' cotton - I tested to be sure it was 100% cotton and then I was worried about whether Mo'e would like it;  I've done a bit of stitching and it seems just fine :).  Woo Hoo!!  I took one pic but it's on my phone and hasn't been transferred to my computer yet.

Our guild's quilt show is coming up later this month and I entered two small quilts ... mainly because I didn't want to wrestle with any of my larger ones to get their measurements.  I've heard a couple of times that the organizer barely has 50 entries - very low number for us - so I just sent her an email a few minutes ago telling her that IF she needs more, I'd enter a couple more - but only IF she needs them.  I'm not going to be pushy about it - if my quilts are in the show, fine, if not, that's fine, too,

I plan on being at the quilt show at least on Saturday - will have to find something to work on.  Maybe I can get one of my 'chenille' quilts ready to sew that day.  

Ok, almost bedtime...
