I Love Fabric!

Lauren
Where did you unearth that note? I faintly remember writing that..I believe it was on one of our trips to Mary Jo's. Seven years have gone by since I wrote that and my fabric buying philosophy hasn't changed one bit! I love fabric..even the fabric I don't really need. I still try to buy something I don't need as often as possible!
Okay, so I've been down to Florida to be trained on the Gammill Optima quilting machine.

I wasn't able to ride down in the Winnebago with my fellow training partners but I did get to stay overnight with one of them and her husband. They very kindly let me share their studio condo for the evening. Here's a rough picture of what that looked like.

They could not have been nicer to me but I don't think any of us got sleep that night...I know I didn't! We are supposed to go back and get more training and I'm racking my brain for a reason (as if I needed one..can you say sleep) to get a hotel room! The Gammill is great fun. It's only been a week and I've been able to play with it a little. I'm planning on actually doing one of my quilts this week.

What's that being quilted? You guessed it...I finished my March "must be quilted" project. Who cares that it was the beginning of April before that happened. It's done!

I've already picked put my April project so hope to get started on that soon.

Since I finished one thing I gave myself permission to start a couple of things. I found this cute American Jane pattern and decided that it would great in all that 30's fabric we collected oh so long ago. I've got the pieces cut out and am ready to sew.

And a really fun, quick project that has taken me two days to cut and make all the blocks. I just need to add two borders and then it's done and ready to be quilted. I'll post the pattern info when I find it.

Your Rattlesnake quilting looks awesome!
 A couple of questions for you...
How is your FoOt? Did you drive yourself to the ER?
