The Boys are Back in Town

My DH and DS got back yesterday from a year deployment to Afghanistan. They both re in the SC National Guard. Hopefully they won't have to go back anytime soon!

Hoffman Challenge 2008

My quilts have come home. I entered these 2 in the Hoffman challenge 2008 and they both traveled with the exhibition. The peacock went to Canada . It's in pretty good shape-a few loose threads and fold lines -but that's to be expected. I didn't enter this years challenge-I tried but everything I did was ugly so I finally gave up! I already have my design ideas for 2010, just waiting for the fabric to come out!
--------------
I've got a couple BIG things happening in the next 2 weeks. tune in...........................

If you click on the pics you can see the stitching!

I am not a piecer,but..............

I am not a piecer but I was asked by a kindergarten class to put some blocks together and quilt a auction quilt. So since I love to watch football on Saturday I decided this would be a good time to piece the top. I definately enjoy the quilting more!! It's cute and I hope they raise lots of money!
---------The other 2 pictures are a quilt I will be starting tomorrow. It's more like a banner. It's huge. It will hang in the church where our guild meets. I hope inspiration strikes when I get it loaded and started. The first major hurdle will be stablizing it-Did I say IT'S HUGE!

--- Great day today. Walked the dogs early-they refuse to sleep in. It was still dark because the clouds were moving in to rain. Went to LQS-then came home and watched football. Clemson beat Miami!! Now watching the Carolina-Vandy game. I won't say who I am cheering for!! :):)
