Connie and I are heading to Grand Rapids for the AQS quilt show. We haven't gone to Paducah in a few years, so this will be exciting. The show is in GR for three years (at least).
Last week was the August "Sleep At Home" retreat. One of the gals was finishing the borders on a Bonnie Hunter pattern. Lots of gorgeous fabrics in this one.
We try to have a little group project on Saturday. This time we made quilt tool caddies. The base is a stand-up plastic photo frame. These were fun and easy to make. Added 8/26/12: The tutorial for the tool caddy can be found HERE.
Friday was our 44th wedding anniversary. Jim insisted I go to the retreat. In the late afternoon, he delivered a bouquet of chocolate covered strawberries. There were enough to share with the retreaters and still have a few to eat at home. They were delicious.
And finally, here's a little pouch I made using a Sweet Pickins pattern from Moda U.
Off to GR!

Love all those fabrics in the scrappy quilt. The arrangement of darks and lights make an interesting design.
