First of many....

This is my first project out of the book Schnibbles Times 2 and hopefully not my last. Pattern is; "McCuffey" in the Rouenneries.....(small quilt but a little larger than the pattern calls for). I was hoping to quilt it before I posted it but I am running out of time. (As I often say time flies but the good thing is I am the pilot.....)

Not the case tomorrow as I have to fly to Ottawa for meetings and will only return Thursday...
Oh! but wait... I will not go without some hand work to do:))))
I am preparing these appliqué pieces for a quilt I have been putting on my "want to do" list and never getting around to starting it... This is the right time as I have no other "hand work" in my basket....Perfect timing for the "Orange Peel"from the book Remembering Adelia by Kathleen Tracy..I am using all Kansas Troubles left overs.

My schedule for the three days in Ottawa is packed, so I am not taking my laptop with me. I will be relying on the business centre in the hotel to e-mail which means I may not be able to respond to any comments or contacts until I return.... however I hope you will keep me posted with the goings-on in blog land and with all your projects which continuously inspire me:)

A La Prochaine!
