Quilts are H-E-A-V-Y

Let the gathering and sorting begin . . . 

Twenty large quilts plus six of my small barn quilts

for a trunk show presentation on Tuesday February 26

for the Pickin' Up the Pieces quilt guild in Memphis . . . 

Plus thirty more quilts and those six barn quilts

for my lecture/trunk show presentation

for Scrap Club hosted by Kevin the Quilter

in O'Fallon, MISSOURI on Thursday February 28 

at 1:00 and at 5:00 . . . 

(Meeting is held at 18 North Central Avenue, 

O'Fallon, MO, if you'd like come join the fun) 

Plus another eight quilts and a few smaller items

for the Dumpster Diving workshop

with twenty Scrap Club members 

on Friday March 1 at Jackman's Fabrics

on Lindbergh in St. Louis . . .

(the papers pinned on the design wall

are my packing lists - quilts go into the tote tubs 

in reverse order so the quilt holding volunteers 

can just lift out the next quilt and we all stay in sync)

I'll need five large tote tubs for 

the two lecture/trunk show quilts 

PLUS

a sixth tote tub for the workshop quilts 

AND

a blue IKEA bag for my project boxes filled with 

pieces/parts for the workshop's work-in-progress quilt.

That is a LOT of quilts to pick up and move around!

(Needless to say, I have rented a larger vehicle

since my Honda is much too small

to hold that many quilt-filled tote tubs

plus several boxes of BUILD A BARN books)

Meanwhile RETIRED TOO is pin basted

and ready to be quilted / finished

so it can be packed into one of 

the three St. Louis trunk show boxes.

Spending time with Max quilting 

instead of planning/sorting/packing

sounds really, really good . . .
