My river project is on the frame...I'm determined to meet my October goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. Plus, it has to be ready to hang in our guild show on November 1st!I'm stitching down the applique as part of the quilting.

| Don't worry about the ripples by the head...things only look that way because the quilt is rolled onto the take-up bar. |
Random Thought #2:
It's challenging to quilt someone else's art! We discussed the owner's vision and I tried to execute it faithfully, BUT I've been nervous the whole way through! EEK!I won't show the whole quilt until it's hung in our show, but here's the bottom corner...hoodoos done in stitch!

Went to the High Prairie quilt show on Sunday (when I should have been quilting - ha!) and won a prize! Won't know what it is until I go back to pick it up. As you can see, there are a few possibilities!!!
Here are a couple of shots of the show. There were over a hundred quilts on display!

On Saturday the Fairview ladies stitched up a storm making blocks for their Harmony quilts. So many fun fabric choices! The blocks will really pop once the 3-D edges are revealed.
