What's going on this week?

There's a lot going on here this week. If you're in the area you may already know that the
WASATCH FRONT SHOP HOP
is this weekend and
THE CORN WAGON QUILT SHOP
is hosting
CRAZY OLD LADIES TRUNK SHOW!
(complete with the brand new "Holiday Lineup" quilt!)
Also,
the PETEETNEET QUILT SHOW
is going on for the next couple of weeks.
On Sat. the 27th
we have a fun day full of classes including 'Stacks of 3' by Crazy Old Ladies.
And I'll also be teaching a "Buggy Barn" crazy piecing demonstaration.
I don't consider myself a teacher- but I guess I better start.
If that's not enough, my brother and his wonderful wife are coming to visit with their 3 cute boys. We're so excited to see them again and have them stay at our house!

See, there's a reason I call myself "Crazy"!

Something NEW!

I designed this pattern over a year ago. I've been waiting for the perfect fabric. I knew Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey was coming out but I wasn't sure it was going to work. That was until I saw it on the shelves of my local shop and NEW I had to have it. (You all know what I'm talking about, right!?) Anyway. I bought a ton of it and although I have a stack- literally a STACK of quilts and patterns I'm working on right now- I set it all aside to sew this together. I worked late into the night and started early the next morning and finished the top in less than 24 hours. 48 hours later it is quilted and waiting to be bound! This is what happens when you're a "CRAZY" quilter like me. When you get an idea in your head you just can't do anything else. So, here it is-
"HOLIDAY LINEUP"
