Finally.........

So it's Friday night, well, really it's Saturday morning since the clock has passed midnight. This should give you a clue as to the status of my love life, or lack of one. :-) I'm getting ready for a cocktail party tomorrow evening. I've polished the silver, hung my quilts so I guess I'm ready!  What it really  means is that I have to clean........and put things away. Good grief, I'll never find anything on Sunday! But I've got my quilt hung up, the veggies cut and the dip made and a fridge full of food.  So I guess I'm close to ready for company.

The good news is that company forces me to clean my place up. Living by myself and being a quilter, well, you can imagine how things can pile up.

I'm shamefully posting a 'before' picture, and as you can see, I have some picking up to do.  That's my pile of Sandy quilts, but I got my favorite piece hung up.  It's about 40 x 40 and all done by hand.

This quilt below  is a "hang it high" kind of piece.  I was learning the long arm quilting on this and as much as it's one of my favorite pieces, it still has quilting that needs to be removed.  It's got "Holidays in Paris" in it, and that has got to be one of my favorite collections.  It was by In the Beginning, and I bought it early on in my quilting career. 2003? I sure wish I had more of it. Of any collection, this is my all time favorite.

A rerun of last year, I still love my snowmen by Kim Diehl.  This subs as my Christmas tree, and I love my Jim Shore ornaments.  Yes, that's a sewing bag in the corner with the flying geese. It too, will be put away.

I have about 30 people coming over Sat evening for cocktails and snacks, so I've got my list and I've checked it twice.  It still says I need to drive to Costco Saturday morning. Seriously, that is crazy.
Wishing everyone a parking spot at the mall this weekend!
Have fun,
Sharon
