Head spinning chaos/fun?

Lots and lots of stuff to be done for a local Art Fest coming up the first weekend in in June!

So much that my bed quilt is on hiatus for the time being:(  Ah well sometimes sacrifices need to be made.  Take a deep breath and move forward.  Therefore,my bed quilt has been sitting on the recliner for about 3 weeks.  Somehow.....don't have a clue.....maybe some blonde kid I live with perhaps...not sure though got some new stains on it.  Daaayyyy----goneit!!!  Oxiclean is on the shopping list.  So be it.

By the time we arrived home from a birthday party tonight it was getting dark out.  I really wanted to take pics of some newly finished projects for the Art Fest.  I got a couple of the banner I made yesterday.  Took me all day and winged the entire thing.

Ideas were flowing everywhere!

 Each letter is interfaced and blanket stitched.  I used the FMQ foot on the flowers for the dotted "i."

This was the perfect project to practice a decorative stitch.  The "s" was hard,both of those buggers.  I got through it though and I think it looks pretty darn good!

Before this little project, I took about a week and 1/2 and made 12 Wallets.  I didn't think I could do it,but I proved myself wrong!   Pics of those soon!

Potholders were also along for the ride!  I took some: KJR By Denyse Schmidt and Dream On By Urban Chiks.  These were fun and easy peasy.

I also cut out some business cards and finished up some WIP potholder sets and added my label.  Last minute touch ups and maybe. maybe. another something...something for my craft booth:)

 I even got a little binding in for my bed quilt tonight in Kona Bahama Blue and another Kona blue as well:)  I want that quilt on my bed badly!

 These fabrics showed up at my doorstep a couple weeks ago.  Summersville is definitely, definitely a mind blower!!!

I also got some Kona White for my Sliced Apples QAL quilt.  Yes.  I have to find time to do that too.  After my bed quilt and before I make another Angry Bird for someone I know whose little voice sticks in my head;)

Cute banner! I love the summer colors for those potholders too. No worries over your quilt project-in-progress. Life happens, right.
