Just a fast post today – its pretty busy over here! – to show you proof that I did, in real life, attend the Mid Atlantic Mod retreat.
Well, there you have it. Photographic evidence that I did, in fact, exist in the same physical space as the retreat. Whether or not I actually got anything done while I was there is another story entirely.
The post Quick Update – Mid Atlantic Mod appeared first on Sparrow Quilt Co..

Hi everyone,
I really really want to tell you this little story. :)
No big plot or drama here, just how I enjoyed every minute and every second of making a very special baby quilt - one for our first, beautiful, can-hardly-wait-to-be-born little granddaughter!
I already started a bit in a previous post, here but now here is a whole story.
For now, while young parents are still choosing the name, her nickname is Peaches. I just love it so much.
Mommy-to-be loves pale, gentle pinks and purples and she had fun picking fabrics from my stash and she did it so ...

I've been trying to tidy my sewing room, and manage an ever-growing pile of flannel scraps. I love using flannel on the backs of baby and kids quilts, so I've collected lots of leftovers over the past few years.
I just finished this piece and I'm donating it to go into the small quilt sale at our show. The Smoky Mtn Quilt show is May 23, 24, and 25. It's at the Maryville College Athletic Center. Will have over 200 quilts to see!!!
Close up of my quilting...
Here's the other small quilt. My camera didn't like all the details of the fabrics. That's computer board fabric for the boot.
Again, the camera probably needs more charge to keep things in better focus. There will be many small quilts there for sale and a ...
Hi Everyone,
No, I am not going to tell you how to make the Aviatrix Medallion Quilt. I am going to show you my handy dandy way to cut fabric with templates (as long as they are geometric) without having to draw them out and cut them by hand. It is accurate and super fast. One of the templates in the Aviatrix Medallion has to be cut more than 200 times... that is just a lot of cutting without a little shortcut. It took me less than an hour my way. So I hope this helps you all too. Oh ...

While folding and cutting strips from the new fabric, I asked myself the "What if..." question and got caught up in finding out. Based on my "Let's Book it" project for this month, so I will wait to show it then. Hopefully I will have a completed flimsy today. 
It was too late after last night’s Quilt-Cam to want to unpack and repack the trunk show for my presentation on Saturday evening at the Virginia Consortium of Quilters (VCQ) CELEBRATION. That meant that I needed to do it this morning. Only. I slept too late! Yes, I needed it but…. I’ve been running around like a crazy fool quilter trying to get everything done before leaving in about 2

April has just flown by for me. It feels like it came in like a tornado. I have been pretty productive, a couple finishes and a couple near finishes. My goal is one of those near finishes. I will likely be waiting until the very last minute to finish because I am hoping that my swap partner will comment on a picture on Flickr. No luck yet, but I remain hopeful, if she doesn’t comment soon, I will use my best judgment and move forward!
Since this picture was taken, I have finished the quilting and trimmed it up ...
