I didn't do alot of sewing this weekend as I had other quilty things to do. I did work on my border for the purple baby quilt. I had made the flower blocks last week except for the white on the edges. I had run out of white fabric and had to get some more before I could continue. I put the white on white on the flowers and they now look like flowers. I made some leaf blocks too but I'm not going to use them...I made them 3 1/4" squares with 1 1/2" squares on the corners and these are way too big for my taste. So, I'm going to try 2 1/2" squares tonight and see if I like them better. I don't want my leaves to over-power my flowers....Now, I have a few leaves to put into some other project and believe me, they won't go to waste.
I tatted on my flag last night too. I finished the last row of white and now I'm on the last rows of red. Only two rows of this red and I'll be completedly finished. I have been trying to decide how I'm going to do the stars and I've about decided on buttons. This will be mine and I was thinking I would do them in thread but the more I've thought about it the more I'm leaning toward the buttons. I've looked online and at various shops for star buttons and haven't found anything I'm interested in, so I guess I'll make them. Some of the girls at tatting do polymer clay and suggested this to me sometime back...so, I'm thinking that's what I'll be doing. I've never done this but there's always a first! I'll be showing you my flag soon, I promise.
The reason I didn't do alot of sewing this weekend was the Dallas Quilt Show. I went Saturday with two of my friends and we oogled and oggled at all the beautiful quilts. In my opinion, this was the best show I've been to in many years. The quilts were all great and it wasn't the same thing, over and over....Everyone is getting so good!!! There was lots of eye candy to look at and I had a hard time deciding on which one I liked best. I had several favorites. Yes, I have pictures and I'll upload those later tonight when I get home. So for now, this post has no pics but come back later and you'll see lots! Have a great day and go get some sewing time in!

The quilt show was good. It was my first time at the Dallas show. It's only my third ever. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. It's neat to see what everyone's favorites are.
Sharon did like the mug rug a lot!
I don't think she told me you are going to the retreat. I can't wait to see what that will be like, as it will be another first for me. See you there!
I love quilt shows but unfortunately I don't get to attend as many as I would like.
Your flag sounds wonderful especially with you making the buttons, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I went to my first quilt show the other day a small one, I'm sure the Dallas quilt show must be amazing. Now to look at your slide show.
