Chubby Chicks

Okay, call me a homebody but I didn't make it out to see the city last night.  I was wiped!  After class, I grabbed some to-go food and headed back to the hotel to relax.  The great thing about driving here rather than flying is that I could bring along some stuff that you normally wouldn't want to stuff in the overhead bin.  Like my sewing machine!

My hotel room was so dark that the fabrics looks black, but they're actually a fabulous navy blue.

And here's a closeup of the pattern that I'll be following.  Those adorable little chicks are appliqued on, so I'll be learning how to do that for the first time.  I think it should be easy enough.

I spent the evening cutting fabric and ironing the patterns onto the fabric.  Then I realized that I only had my quilting foot on the machine, so I couldn't get started sewing.  Drat! 

Tonight, I PROMISE I will head out and see some of Indianapolis and come back with pics for you.  It really is a cool downtown and I can see what Kansas City aspires to.  Apparently, Indy used to look just like KC until they underwent a downtown renovation for the Pan Am games and the Superbowl.  There is so much to do here and I have just one choice for dinner, so it's going to be fun seeing where I end up tonight!

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!
