Food & Stitching...what could be better?

Well, we bailed on the last two BBQ joints.... we were just too stuffed! Everything was wonderfully good and during all the driving I was able to get all of the blanket stitching done around the applique on my "Acorn Harvest" table topper.  I will post a pic of that after I get the binding on.

When we stopped in Luling, for BBQ, I saw a flier for a Quilt Show.  So after stuffing myself, I was able to walk around and see some neat quilts.  One that I want to share was a yo-you quilt.  The yos were about the size of your fingerprint! There were over 17,000 yo-yos in the quilt top.  I have pictures on my phone and will post them after I finish here.  That quilt was AMAZING!

Here is another Dear Jane block for my 4" squares. This is A2 -

From Blog hopping to BBQ hopping!

I am getting ready to head out on a BBQ hop.  We are running out to Bastrop to start hopping to some of the best BBQ joints in this part of Texas! I plan to come home fat & happy!!

But before I go, I wanted to share a Dear Jane block.  I started working on two Dear Jane quilts in 2001.  I still haven't gotten very far on either one, but I am pulling them out and going to try and get one block a week finished on either one.  I am doing a 4"-block green and maroon, and a 5"-block rainbow one.  Here is A1 of my 4" -
and now....I am off to eat, and eat, and eat....and eat.....
