new name

My business license was purchased last week in the name of.... drum roll here please....

The Quilter Upstairs. I've applied for a tax number; 3 weeks for that to get processed. So meanwhile I'm lining up some 

• charity quilts to make, 
  
• 3 Christmas panels I have,
• digging out some fabric from my Goodwill bag to use for my first try,
• finishing a Trip Around the World that will be great done with a pantograph, and
• Austin's new quilt.

Then I need to design the quilting for some more difficult things to finish; for instance

• a black Irish chain, 
• a strip Chrismas Star that NEEDS trupunto,
• and a white and blue 3" double 9-patch that will really show off the quilting, and
• the gingham quilt that will have ISSUES.

The Golden Needle suggested I stockpile some meals so I won't have to cook when the machine comes. What an excellent idea! So I have plenty to do for the next little bit...
