Facts From The Weekend

1)  Basic yoga poses are good for more than balance.  A solid Downward Dog is a plus when pinning a quilt sandwich that takes up every available inch of floor space with the exception of a six inch perimeter.  Garland Pose comes in handy too. 

2)  Caffeine without protein will only get you so far.  Tremors do not help with seam ripping.  Counter-intuitive, I know, but there it is.

3)  Crazy Glue will seal pin pricks and keep blood of your quilt.

Yes, it has been a busy weekend with one last mad dash to get a quilt made before Market.  Fortunately, it is down to binding and a hanging sleeve.  I'm anxious to show you this one.  But first, it has to debut at Market.  And as far as I can tell, this fabric hasn't been seen online anywhere yet either.  So hush hush.

In the meantime, do go check out Jane's Garden Divas.  She has a great slide show of the prints here.  I love these all so much.  It's hard for me to pick a favorite.  Dragonfly Moon is definitely one of them.  These fabrics all play well together.  In a week I'll be able to show you a few things to inspire you.  For now, I'll just say that this collection does not disappoint.

Things will ease up here in a couple days.  When they do, you can expect more regular posts and all the wild and crazy things you've come to expect around here.  Things like easy holiday projects, Mod Podge, books, food, and out of nowhere observations. 

I think I'll practice the Corpse Pose now.  I seem to be best at that one.  Have a great week!
