Ok, so I have been home for all of three days now (celebrated DGD 3rd birthday with her on Monday! Was in Ocala for the party) but I leave for Seattle tomorrow morning for the next to last business trips of 2008. At least I hope so. I was thinking of visiting Bainbridge Island. I hear they have a neat little quilt shop there. Is it worth the visit?
I leave for Cape Hatteras on November 1. I am taking 20 of my sweet FILs cotton plaid shirts to make 6 lapquilts for each of his children for Christmas. He passed away in his sleep in late January and I asked my DH to get his shirts. No one knows I am doing this except for DH. He has been busy helping me cut off all the buttons. I hope to be able to get all 6 done in one week. I have the quilter lined up and she is ready to go in mid-November. I am saving all the pockets and buttons too to use them elsewhere. I worked with one shirt today and I can get 24 six inch blocks from a long sleeved shirt.
It's gonna be a busy few months!
