Your Eyes Can Fool You

 Last week I added my quilt along block to 

Lori's Abundance Linky Party.

I had worked on that block,

I had photographed that block,

I had posted about that block and

then linked it for everyone to see.

It's funny how sometimes our eyes 

see only what we want them to see.

 Notice anything?

I have a goose doing it's own thing!

Now that's all I can see when I look at this block.

Funny how I couldn't see it before.

I was going to leave it there and

have the humble thing going on,

but I just couldn't.

I got Jack the Ripper out and 

got that goose heading in the right direction.

I have kept working on this project and 

sewed a few more blocks and 

set them together side by side.

I like the secondary patterning.

I'm thinking of making a couple more blocks

for a total of 6, adding a border,

and using it as a baby quilt.

I have looked very carefully so

my eyes aren't deceived,

But sometimes you only see what

you want to see.

Until Next time-

Quilt-A-Fair

I had another opportunities to get a quilting fix.

  This weekend

 the Colorado Quilting Council

put on it's annual 

 Quilt-A-Fair.

 It's a combo of vendors, quilt show,

 demos, and more vendors. 

A slow economy?

Look out.

 Quilters can move fast 

when there's new kits, pattern and fabric available.

My friends and I circled around

and through the booths.

Stopping,

considering,

rationalizing,

then making a few purchases.

One of my favorite booths 

is an antique booth from Sioux Falls, SD.

I always seem to find something.

Sure enough,

underneath other things

were these delicious indigo blue and shirting 

churn dash blocks.

There are 39 blocks

in mint condition.

 Mostly machine stitched,

a few hand pieced,

but a wonderful collection of indigos and shirtings.

It's now been added to the list

of "some day."

 Until Next Time-
