Glad Rags Art: April 12, 2017

April....... we finally have sun today. This week is a busy week for the Dixie Quilt Guild. I am looking forward to the trunk show that is tonight from 5:30-8. We will also find out who's quilts won prizes. I did not enter anything this year and I am not taking any classes. I am taking a class by Judith M Baker in June and it was costly before any accommodations has been added on. I am looking forward to being in Colorado for almost a week. I am sure I will learn a lot and have a great time with 2 of my friends. ........... That said, I am sure the classes offered here will be wonderful. The show will be Thursday and Friday. I need to check with the gals tomorrow morning to make sure that all the volunteer slots have been filled. I did not sign up for anything this year.

I have been busy, got my clients quilts done, started working on my own stuff. I picked up two quilts yesterday, one is a rush job. I will get it on my long arm as soon as I get my owl quilt off. I should have it done today.

My allergies have been worse this year than in previous years. We have had a lot of rain and the pollen count is really high.

I seem to have gotten the smell out of my basement carpet.... thanks to ODO Ban! I still need to get the floors in the basement replaced. I have so many things that need to be done. I am accomplishing things slowly. My husband got a part on my long arm replaced and it is re-timmed, all adjusted and running great! Thanks Dave...... I need to purchase leaders from Teryl, if she still has them. Mine are so dirty and when you wash them... they shrink. If she doesn't have any, I might purchase some canvas, wash the to pre-shrink them and put some kind of protective covering so I can clean them.

I finished Bonnie Campbell's quilt. It was challenging because of the black thread. But, I think it turned out lovely. Bonnie is an amazing piecer.

Finished my Art quilt.... "The Girls" will be in the upcoming show at the St. George Art Museum. Opening is April 28 and will run into August. I will be putting 'Reflections' (my red bridge) in also.
