Boy! Can you tell I've been busy! I promised to tell you about the second booth that caught my eye at the Sewing Expo and that was nearly two weeks ago!

I do have a good excuse (hehe)! Corrie (daughter) and her family were here for a week and just left. We had a wonderful time, but I'm just a bit tired! The grandkids are wonderful!

While she was here we took photos for our new heirloom book. It should go to press next week and be available the first part of August. (More about that later)

So...back to the Sewing Expo. The second booth that caught my eye - after the 3-D quilt booth - was Block Party Studies, Inc. They have a variety of scripture quilts, ustin the quilt-as-you-go technique, and can easily be made in an afternoon.

These would be a great project for a girl's beginning quilting class...I think the project could be finished in three 3 hr. sessions. I'm planning to make these up for my mother and mother-in-law. I also picked up daughter quotes to make for my daughter and daughter-in-law.

I'll have to share the pictures as I get them finished.

Have a wonderful week!
