Welcome to my Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays!
(We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.)
Well, this is all that got done this week, rather than getting Amaretto Cottage all finished and taken off the BOM list. (This week's linky is at the bottom of this post. Oops - I fixed the link-up so it's live now.) :D

| Third corner is mostly constructed, but can't work on sewing until tomorrow. |
The reason for little progress is that I had 2 demos to do at our guild's quilt retreat, as well as working in the Flying Needles 2012 quilt show. Ate up all my non-masters time.
This was my very first show to have quilts in, so that was exciting!

Me with my "Sailing with the Flying Needles"
designed and pieced by Lynette Caulkins, quilted by Patty Butcher |
 |
"Around the World with Mr. Hernandez"
pieced and quilted by Lynette Caulkins |
 |
"2010 FNQG BOM Quilt of Seasons"
pieced by Lynette Caulkins, quilted by Patty Butcher |
It was a ton of fun to see people stop and enjoy my quilts. The big surprise to me was that the owl quilt was particularly enticing to the men. Almost every one would stop and call out "look at this, honey!"

"What a Hoot, Heather!"

Who would've thought??
Here are some of my favorites:
 |
| Melanie Nettles' incredible butterfly wallhanging. (This is about a fourth of it) |
 |
| Ruth Johnson's "Day at the Beach" |
 |
| Anita Stephens's Garden 3-D applique |
 |
| Isn't that incredible? |
 |
| Sue Donavin's "Oriental Sunrise" |
 |
| Jan Bailey's "Phoenix" |
 |
"Secret Garden" by Susan Williams
I was entranced by her cathedral work. Everything hand-done. |
 |

 |
| Fun shirring in that embroidered inner border |
 |

 |
"Shadows in the Swamp" by Karen Hansen -
she had marvelous free-motion quilting with a hawk and other hidden
goodies that you discovered the longer you stood there. |
 |
And a super-cool hubby who waited by Betty Davey's "Greenpiece"
before we helped with the take-down. |
