What Have I Been Up Too....

Wow, it is October 15th already.  Where O where have the days gone.  Houston is right around the corner.  What have I done to prepare for that first ever adventure...absolutely nothing as yet.  I will be taking a few classes and at some point..real soon....I need to look at the supply list and figure out the packing process.  If anyone has gone to Quilt International in the past, please feel free to provide any packing suggestions/advice.

I put together a top for Bumblebeans, Inc's basics quilts...and now I must finish the binding so that I can send it off for quilting.

I have oh sooooo many projects to complete..where do I begin.  It is at this point that it gets a bit daunting...as the idea for another quilt top forms, I am forced to remember the many others that are languishing in its incomplete state.

Yet, in the midst of it all...I am happy to say, I took a break from sewing today and went to Butterlane in NYC for a cupcake class.  It was soooo much fun.  For a wee $50 you get a two hour plus class where you make three different cakes and  a number of different frostings, all from scratch.  You also learn about the ingredients that you are using and how to frost a cupcake.  Then after munching on cupcakes before we began, and nibbling on batter and frosting while we are at it, we ate our practice frosting ones before we frosted over 10 dozen cupcakes, boxed them up and each took a dozen home.  It was fantastic....

You only see Nine here, but we had a couple of smaller boxes filled as well....
