WIP

After a week long Alaska Cruise on NCL with my husband's family (first extended time together in years) and my parents (their 49th wedding anniversary celebrated on Friday), it is time to get back to work. Serious work--I made it through to the FINAL round of the McCall's Quilt Design Star 2011 contest!!! Thank you to all of you who were voting! I'm now trying to get inspired with the FINAL challenge--"the quilt must be inspired by the lyrics to any well-recognized song". Song ideas welcome!

Progress
I finished quilting Jinny's Garden! Just need to add the binding, but I needed to move on to something else that needs to be in the mail tomorrow.... Stop by on Monday and I should have a photo.

Washington State Quilter's show is coming up in October. The Inland Northwest Machine Quilter's group issued a challenge with a kit so that all tops have the same design, but the quilting is judged. INMQ's meeting to choose a brochure cover is this Saturday, so I quickly made the top up and will be quilting it today.

  2. Song lyrics from a well known song... of course I think of the obvious-- "K(nights)in White Satin", or "Starry Starry Night". I am dating myself, but a lot of the Beatles music and Simon & Garfunkle had very "image evocative lyrics"... Paul Simon's "KodaChrome" .. anyway that should trigger something in your creative mind! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
