Quilting tomorrow, but 2 days until race day!

I hope to work on KL's quilt (Moose Goose) tomorrow as I have it off (last vacation day off before our busy season- Sept -Dec). I hope to get it sandwiched and pinned... then take it to the next Peace by Piece Quilters mtg and have the girls put Prayer ties into it. I figure if we can get that done, then I can sew the binding on (it's already made and pressed) and see if my mom wants to hand sew it to the other side (she likes doing that). I also should see if I have a label for it, since we're making it for Charlotte's Garden. It's for a 15yr old girl with brain cancer.

In the meantime, I have to go to my son-in-law's to test my pinewood derby car... the race is on Sat. along with a pot luck supper!! (Hmmm.... what to make to eat?...). I'll post a picture of it.... (my car). I'm thinking of naming it "Sleeping Beauty", but my son-in-law calls it the "Boob Car" (I have clay breasts under that quilt).

Off to VT!

I have today off and since I didn't plan on needing the WHOLE day off, I figure I'll cook a roasted chicken for my daughter and my husband, do some laundry, pack and go. It's a beautiful day, but I know the thunderclouds are coming (probably won't see Hurrican Bill's winds and rain until Sunday when we're packing to leave VT!).

Got the moose quilt scalloped earlier this week( just the geese-red- are scalloped), so I'm taking the Moose Goose quilt with me to pin-baste, and I may get to sew the remaining machine stitiching into Father Chip's quilt (then I can have the girls do the ties at the next PbPQ mtg (Sept 1st). It's been requested by someone who has seen my Moose quilt to make another moose quilt only with different colors. We'll see how much we can do in a short time. Maybe I'll have to email the group and have them start working on blocks.
