First, there was 2 weeks of an all-hands-on-deck, mad house, work-a-thon at my job -- 8 to 12 hour days straight through (we did get Sunday off) slaying mastodons with our atlatls.
Not really, *that* exhibit was installed months ago, we were on to the next thing. :-)
After the paid work was over, I needed to do some serious house-cleaning for house-guests coming for Quilt Festival. I know you know what I'm talking about -- the sort of cleaning you only do when you are expecting company. I was sure my company wouldn't notice, or care if they did, but I felt better knowing it was done.
Louis says, "Food Lady, this is nice! You should make the beds more often."
I did nearly no sewing. All I did was finish my HMQG logo colors mini challenge & made a few more zipper pouches for gifts. (I think I'm beginning to feel more confident about my zippers.)
Then the 2 house-guests arrived -- a quilter friend from France & my MIL. And Quilt Festival!!! An exhausting good time! This year, I really enjoyed looking at the antique & vintage quilts being sold -- I even came home with one!
In spite of an oath with myself not to get any fabric, I managed to come home with some: a stack of Grunge, some vintage bits, plus some other pieces.
Next, a trip to the airport with one departing guest & a route home over a very attractive bridge.
Then, relaxing bay-side with the remaining guest.
Then it was just me & Shug, tired, but with pleasant memories of the last week.
And did I mention that my quilt was hanging at the Quilt Festival!?!

Your quilt looks great and oh, so important hanging there at the show! Love that stripe one too. Congratulations!
Your vintage quilt caught my eye as I have made two based on that pattern. Makes a great scrap quilt!
