I am going to Quilt Camp! Thursday morning (EARLY) I fly to VA to attend VCQ Celebration. VCQ (Virginia Consortium of Quilters) is Virginia's statewide quilt guild of which I was a member when I lived there. It is a fantastic organization and I am thrilled I am getting to attend Celebration (again...the first time was in 2004). It's only held every other year. I never attended when I lived in VA and it was easy to get to... I had to wait until I was 1500 miles and a plane ticket away! As far as activities while I am there, I will be attending classes and lectures and meeting up with 8 friends...what could be better! For more about VCQ check out their web site www.vcq.org.

Anyway, amidst my scrambling to pack, I thought I would post 2 photos, the first is the fabric chosen for the block drawing and the second shows the blocks I made with a fat quarter of the fabric. I will now have 4 chances to win a set of blocks made by others at "camp."

Better get back to the suitcases...but here are the photos. I'll probably not have a chance to post again until I return on the 30th.

The 4 blocks (clockwise) are Variable Star, Single Irish Chain, Milky Way and Balkan Puzzle "Confused" (I oopsed when I put that one together...I think it actually has another name as is...but I can't seem to find it in any of my books. Anyone know?)
