I'm sneaking....

company has arrived safe and sound!  It's a long drive from Tennessee, about 8 hours with rain.  House is cleaner, thanks to Cheryl who came over with 2 vacuums!!! YAH!!

I did sneak some sewing in and completed a few things.

This is a panel, called In My Garden--normally I wouldn't do a panel for a gift, but this one is cute and really fits the new baby's room theme.  I'm also going to make the fabric book that goes along with it:



Of course I ran out of the purple fabric and being we have our 25% off sale started yesterday....it's allll gone...ugh...so I need to figure out another binding to match the flannel backing I'm going to use.  No clue how to quilt this, but I'll figure it out.

Then I did complete all 12 blocks of my Bali Pops....it's getting close to naming this....I have 2 rows together already as well:



I can't wait to get these all together!

I think we are visiting Amish country today.  Haven't done that in about 7 years!  So, need to look up some sight seeing stuff.....any suggestions....besides quilt shops, don't think my sister in law would enjoy it as much as I would :)  We are heading to Lancaster area.

    The panel is darling. Love the Bali Pops, that quilt is going to be awesome. I would love to visit the Lancaster area, the quilting part would be very interesting and fun to me. Maybe someday.

    Well, when you are ready to visit, you have a place to stay....and it's clean (so make your trip soon LOL)!
