Seaport Quilter's Show & Stuff

This weekend, April 25 & 26, I will be vending at the annual Seaport Quilter's Guild Quilt Show, in Clarkston, WA. We didn't even unpack the entire trailer from last weekend's show at Moscow, ID, and we'll be repacking and packing some new stuff up today an heading down this afternoon to set up.

I've quilted the Boot Scootin' and Stampede shop samples, and hope to have pictures up later today. The feather borders, when quilted to accent the feathers, look awesome!

After that, I hope to begin posting here more often. It has been a super crazy month. Here's a partial list of things I've been doing that I may write about soon:

Arguing with a rude and pretentious insurance adjuster about my sewage soaked basement.
Scheduling carpet installation, and trying to paint the basement in between quilts.
Finding new kitchen cabinetry for the quilt shop.
Quilting like mad, that list just keeps getting longer!
Classwork, classwork, classwork. 3 weeks left!
Quilt shows, upcoming shop hop, and crazy online orders.
3 kids who are very tired of school and ready for a break.
My husband's unexpected job loss, followed by crazy new job with long hours.
A new puppy, then 2 new puppies, then 1 puppy again.

I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten, it's turning out to be a very busy Spring! Today's goals are:

1. Finish painting the basement.
2. Finish quilting Stampede, possibly quilt 1 more for someone else.
3. Pack and set up for the Clarkston Quilt Show
4. Make a Home Depot run to find paint, return extra carpet, and get some decking.
5. Come home dead tired and dragging, and try to do some housework and/or classwork.
6. Drink a glass of wine, I'm gonna need it!
