Are you in Utah? I will be at The Material Girls quilt shop in South Jordan THIS Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm. Stop by and let's meet.

I had such a quaint little weekend. I pieced a lap quilt, made cherry
muffins, did the laundry, went to a movie. I even slept at night.
Nothing nearly reflective of my high-energy obligations this week and
next. (High-energy is code for compressed and quickly becoming
stressful.) My True Colors fabric hadn't arrived yet for next week's Creative Bug shoot, so I made lemonade of the situation and relaxed. I meditated on this week's keynote and did some prep for next month's needs. And I completed an entire quilt top.

My quiet activities took place in a stir of remodeling. Isaac and
Elijah shuffled furniture out of our family room to make way for
wainscoting and new flooring. I have a number of great vintage pieces
that will need reupholstering or rebuilding in some way, but we'll deal
with the furniture and trimmings later. Certainly no sooner than
November.

My True Colors fabric was delivered this afternoon. The race is now on. I leave for The Sewing Summit
in Utah in two days and must resolve the Creative Bug project before I
go, get my kids squared away, and keep a number of other projects moving
forward.

Some of you have asked for an update on my upcoming embroidery
patterns. They will be ready soon. A few of these other obligations
pushed their way forward in line. The work is 98% complete on the
embroidery patterns, so my hope is to complete them once we've wrapped
up the Creative Bug shoot. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know
we're making progress on that despite my hectic schedule. We had planned
to keep the embroidery patterns quiet till this Fall, but went ahead
with previews earlier this year when my Lottie Da fabric collection was
delayed for Spring Quilt Market. We had arranged a booth, but we weren't
going to have fabrics. So, embroidery!

Okay. Time for me to go, go go.

If you missed the announcement at the top of this post, I will be at The Material Girls quilt shop in South Jordan, UT this Wednesday night from 6pm to 8pm. Come by for a hello. And see Lottie Da in person.
