Believe it or not, I do actually quilt

You wouldn’t know it by my blogging, but I have actually been quilting recently.  I’m almost done with this flying geese quilt that my Mother-in-Law made.  I thought I was closer to being done, but then I remembered that I actually have to quilt the geese themselves, yet.

I finished a really big Blooming Nine Patch last week, I guess I need to take a picture of it yet.

Today, I had two separate people in the shop who are brand-new longarm quilters, so i got to talk shop quite a bit this morning.  Of course that meant that I didn’t actually do any quilting.  It’s funny, it’s dead quiet in here all week long and whamm-o — everybody shows up on Thursday.  What’s up with that?

Perhaps I should remember that next week and make better use of my time Monday-Wednesday.

I also had a sales guy in here wanting to sell me a fancy plastic No Smoking sign (for $15), apparently I’m supposed to display one in accordance with the new Iowa Smokefree Air Act.  Really?  Me?  Here?

When I e-mailed Mark he responded

Do you also need a “No Killing” and a “No Stealing” sign too?  How about a “No Unnecessary Signs” sign?

I found the signs online, that I can download print and laminate myself.  I’d hate to get with a $100 fine for not having the sign.

Because you know that lots of people are going to try to smoke in my shop.

Sheesh.

    The geese quilt looks great but I can’t wait to see the blooming nine patch quilted.

    Around here, it’s itinerant handymen who come by offering to spray paint one’s house number on the curb – important for emergency workers, or so they say. Evidently your local equivalent is people selling no smoking signs.

    I think I’m going to emulate you and go do some quilting, although mine is by no means as fine as yours.

    You just never what kind of law you might be breaking. Gotta watch out for us quilters!

    In our town, the Chamber of Commerce provided each business with the No Smoking signs. Don’t forget that you have to post one at ALL entrace doors. I considered finding one on the internet, printing it out, MAYBE get it laminated (but probably not) and slap it up.

    Any idea what that quilt pattern is? My husband would flip for a quilt with geese. Of course he would probably try to shoot them.
