Potpourri: Quilty Pleasures, a 3-D Quilt, and Zipper Fun
Lazies, Today is all about Quilty pleasures. From indulging in a class over the weekend, to surfing some fun and inspiring links, won’t you join me in grabbing a cuppa cuppa and surfing a bit? I spent the day yesterday at a my very first Mystery quilt class at Creations SewClever in nearby Chillicothe, Ohio. The mystery part of it was supposed to be the quilt, deciphering clues as we progressed through the construction of our projects. For me, the mystery started off with wondering who (me) didn’t pack the foot pedal and power cord for my sewing machine. A rookie mistake if ever there was one. That cost me half an hour’s driving time. Dang.

Here’s a bad pic which doesn’t do the accent fabric any favors.
My iPhone camera has issues with the orange/red color family.
There was food, munchies, coffee/tea and camaraderie all day. The mystery there – who’s been holding out on these fine recipes. Dips, soup, breads, cookies. Then Quilty pleasures turned to guilty pleasures when the desserts hit the table. Check the Creation’s SewClever recipe archive. Oh my. It was a good day.
Oh, pool boy: Oh, and I finished my large lap sized mystery quilt top. That’s right, 30 blocks, two borders…DONE. The fabrics were pre-cut, and staff pressed and ripped as needed. As Sally Haskell commented on our Facebook page: ’sounds like a quilter’s answer to a pool boy!’ I completely agree.
