Some old inspiring Festival of trees pics

That's me in the corner.....

Pictures!!!

I FINALLY figured out how to post pictures!  I am adding a few photos from the Council of 101's annual Festival of Trees. It is one of the two major fundraisers we do for the Orlando Museum of Art.  It is ten days of Christmas that rings in the holiday season here.  I didn't take pics of everything this year....too busy painting faces but this gives you an idea....

Update!

Bessie is back!  Just needed a minor adjustment at the service center and she is fit as a fiddle.  Well two things today...spent the day helping decorate for the Festival of Trees event.  I love being part of this as it really rings in the holiday season in Orlando   I will be doing facepainting just outside of Toyland on Saturday y and Sunday both weekends so say hi!

Second?  HUGE congratulations to my friend Ms. Rashida Coleman Hale on her new venture along with four other fabric designers who make up Cotton and Steel, a new division of RJR Fabrics.  rashida used to design for Cloud 9 fabrics, and you can still get some there.  Best wishes and maybe she might be down this way and do a workshop with Orlando MOQ!

Sad bessie

Oh no....Bessie Bernina is making a noise and I don't know what's going on!!!!!  Of course Dan the Handyman said let's look inside.....NO NO I said pretty loudly.  I said this isn't like the things you can normally fix.....you are many things but not a sewing machine repairman.  Seeing the distress on my face, he agreed.  So it looks like a trip to Wandering Stitches and hopefully not an expensive one.

On a good note, it is Veteran's day and I had a free steak at Applebee's!

It is Friday night.  I am sitting at the quilting table, cutting fabric and listening to Luis DelVilar's Ibiza Sensations podcast.  If you have ever been to the "White Island" you know that is serious party music......

Anyway, I am beginning to figure out the photo thing (thanks Yannik) and will try to get better at posting pics.  I am proud that I made my first block for the Orlando modern Quilting group this week.  I had hoped that I would win the blocks but no luck.  Maybe next time especially since the block will be a Christmas ornament!  Iam halfway through binding my very first quilt....it feels like it is taking forever but it is nearly queen size so I must persevere...sighs.  I have so much to do, yadda, yadda, yadda but I will complete all the tasks I have set for myself before the end of the holiday season.
