Omigosh!

SHHHHH!!!!  Dont tell anyone, but I finished the Omigosh top.  Will not post a picture until I get it quilted.  Give me about a week or so. 

Working at the SC State Fair tomorrow.  Will representing QSC for a sit and sew demo day at the fair.  Will be fun.  I will work on some children's quilt tops for future charity quilts.  I get to meet so many nice folks and talk about quilting all day.  If you are there stop by the Moore building, I will be there from 10am to about 4pm.  Some others are coming also. And if you cant get there until after work I think Sandra and Anita are coming at 2pm and staying late.

Bonnie

3 of us went to see Bonnie Hunters trunk show in Charleston, last nite.  DH drove us, so that made it much better.  It was good to see Bonnie again.  We met on the internet before her move to Columbia, SC.  need me!  Now she is in NC, so I try to catch her when I can.  We enjoyed the show.  DH said she has sooo much energy, he is right.  It makes me want to sit and sew leaders and enders.  But I have to finish Omigosh first.  Then retreat quilt and I should be ready for Bonnie's new mystery in Nov.

I am typing on the lap top.  the Desk top is at the computer doctor.  Got a virus yesterday. major.  Not used to this keyboard and keep hitting the wrong key or holding it down to long.  At least I have my internet.,  yea!!

Got a stomach bug today.  Feeling better, but didnt get any quilting done.

Happy Quilting,

Omigosh!

Finally I have an update on the Omigosh for you, a picture. Dont look at the dirty board cover.   I have rows made.... Yeah!!!  I even sewed some together in pairs last nite.  It takes forever to sew the pairs together.  I am pinning at every seam to match it up properly and believe me there are lots of seams.
