Ack!

I wasn't chiding you for not commenting! I *love* that you drop by here, and I just wanted to encourage you to drop your $00.02!!! (and maybe let me pick your brains a little!)

The commercial hand-dye was bought off a bolt in a quilt shop, so I'm figuring that it wasn't pre-shrunk. Off to the washer for that! (SUCH a good thing that I have the most wonderful DH going - he has no problem with running to the dryer in the basement for me with sopping wet bundles of fabric!!)

I made a pair of pants for work today (only one fumble that a dart took care of - phew!), but the fabric I've been spending the most time and energy on today is my skin - it is peeling off my arm in huge chunks!!! I brought the sunscreen with me last weekend to my friend's farewell party, but forgot to put it on for the 3 hour car ride, so... driver's tan!

I've also been trying to get an AQ group going up here in Burlington, and I'm getting some pretty good responses. It looks like we are going to end up with 3 new groups, spread to the corners of the state, and hopefully we'll get together and do large group stuff (maybe even shows!) periodically.

As part of that effort, I asked on the QA board if anyone was going to the Vermont Quilt Festival this weekend. I decided that I needed to make a tiara so folks could find me (I have some awesome blacklight frogs that a friend sent me that are just *begging* to adorn my brow), and then I realized - duh - that my most identifying feature is undoubtedly going to be... my crutches! Lol... I don't use them all the time, but for that much walking? Heck yeah! At least one, so I have one hand free for *shopping*!
