Long Time Coming...

Way back in 2001, I had just moved to Texas and met my friends Tyrena and Michelle. I had chatted with Ty online in the Fabric Stash chatroom. Ty and Mich worked together and Ty had recruited Mich over to the "dark side" (introduced her to quilting!).

We were about to attend my very first International Quilt Show in Houston, TX. I got very sick and was put in the hospital the day we were to leave. Ty scrambled a plane ticket down so she wouldn't miss a class and Michelle drove down the next day with all of their stuff.

While at the show, the two of them visited 12 different booths and picked up a block packet (fabric and directions) from each one. When they got home they gave them to me! Sweet!

I ordered the finishing kit and it has been sitting in a box ever since! Shame on me! Well, I got it out yesterday and cut out all twelve blocks. Today I put the first two together.

We have our annual retreat in June of this year. Do you think I can get the top together by then? Hope so...
