Not quilting and also not horses, well maybe slightly quilty...

Mowed the lawn today, moved panels for the horses, did the dishes, made fruit salad for tomorrow evenings Quilt Guild spring salad bar meeting (just food, show n tell and good fun, last meeting of the season), and then made blueberry muffins with the left over blueberries I bought for the fruit salad (so slightly short for muffins).
I have 3 quilts for show n tell tomorrow, will try to remember to take my camera with me and get pics, if I forget, I'll try to find a not so hairy spot at home to get pictures.

oh wow, I love all three of them. I hope you have fun at your meeting.
I had a busy day too yesterday as it was Matteo's 17th birthday plus my parents arrived for a weeks holiday. It didn't help that I went away to the beach with my girlfriends all weekend. lol It was a bit crazy when I got back trying to get everything ready, and my hangover didn't help at all.  ;D

Hey, Diane, I have this cute Zebra print, if it might work for the older brother to be's quilt.  Perhaps add some primary colored fabrics or jeweltone fabrics and make up a pattern.   Just a thought.  I know you are sleuthing to discover his likes.

Oh, that's wonderful, and I know who would absolutely love it -- and it's not him! Please save it for a future venture for when you have time.  I'm laying claim to it!!!

I'll save enough for a good size lap quilt; as it's a bolt, I have plenty to sell some, and save some for a quilt.  I couldn't resist it when I saw it, even though, I didn't know if I'd use any myself.    I'll be geared up to start new quilts in like early September, so start sleuthing, so I can hunt up appropriate fabrics for the big boy quilt.  Already, have the elephant for the baby quilt, and I'm on the hunt for fabrics to go with (have two, and my sales rep has her eye out for the other two I want in something less than a 15 yard bolt).

And, then these two to hopefully go with the zebras, if they don't go, then I guess I'll have to come up with another project:
[looking for them to add a subtle pop of color.]
