What Do You Do The Day Before You Leave For A Big Trip??

That was the BIG question today for me.  Quiltin' Queen and I leave in the morning for Hershey PA, so that meant that I had to do a LOT of stuff today to get ready for it.  Now yesterday I did all the running around, shopping and such so today was mine.  I got up early and went to Body Pump and then Zumba.  Came home and showered, and ate.  Then laundry and lots of cleaning.  I got all the cat boxes dumped, vacuumed, dishes and laundry.  I was exhausted!!  So house cleaned, check.  Finisheing up the laundry, check, beginning to pack, check. 

I also need to get all my sewing stuff packed too.  What should I bring to work on?  I finally narrowed it down to the wedding quilt for my nephew,  Over the river, for Liz and Dreamy Stars.  I had bought a vintage sheet that had some flowers spread out all over the sheet that I thought I could use for corner stones for the Dreamy Stars quilt.  Did I really want to stop and cut those?  If I wanted to finish the tip I would have to.  So this is what the sheet looked like.

 I wanted to press it first and then I was going to cut it into 2.5" squares like this

 Aren't they cute?  I love how these came out and I think they will be perfect in this quilt.







OOPS, need to get a few more things at the store, so out I go now home, make some food, clean up and put brownies into the oven.   So now my dears, I need to run and finish the laundry, brownies, and packing.  If we can get online while we are away I will post about our trip to Lancaster and the AQS quilt show.  If not then you will have to wait until we return.  I hope we will be able to chat while we are away.  Long drive tomorrow, about 8 hours, so GTG,    ~XOP
