One event after another had delayed the finishing of a quilt that I had committed to enter into the show. (Have you ever "picked out" any quilting?...At least three hours of pulling strings was really annoying.) The day the quilts were to be delivered another un-anticipated event made it necessary to leave town no later than 11:15....quilt receiving was to last until 1:00. (I had anticipated being the last person to deliver my quilt.) So, the moral of this little tale....Even if you are sitting in the parking lot of the convention center using every last minute to sew the binding close...it can be worth the effort!
My favorite judge's comment was about how bindings should be smooth without puckers! If she only knew.
Now that all the drama has settled, it is back to things unfinished. I had pulled out the 10 completed blocks from the 2013 Saturday Sampler Block of the Month from a local quilt shop. I completed the last 2 today, but before I could get my sewing mess cleared away here comes...
It was just supposed to be a brainstorming session on what designs I wanted to fill in the "blank" spots...

| Hey! No Sock Monkeys in this quilt! |
I think I will call this quilt Saturday's at Home. I am going to color in those things that happen in my back yard. (Like mushrooms, toads and insects! And maybe some flowers too...dandelions teehee)

How grand. It's lovely to see how one things turns into another. I'll look forward to seeing the rest.
