Busy Busy
Hi All! Well, like
usual I did get time in my woman cave this weekend! I did have my cousins down for lunch on
Saturday- it is always so great to visit with them! Bob made us a wonderful lunch, and a cake for
dessert with berry medley stuff on the bottom. Do not call it raspberry- just
ask him, ha ha. Last week I worked on a quilt for my daughter’s friend. Her
nursery colors are pink and cheetah! I
did not want to share pictures of the quilt until the recipient got the quilt, and of course
I did not get a picture of it quilted- dork. But here is the top-
It was made almost
totally from my stash. The only thing I had to purchase was the cheetah print
for the letters. While pulling fabric for this quilt I did discover while I do
not have an aversion to pink, I really did not have any in my stash. Luckily
the 2 pink fabrics I had yardage of worked together! Guess I need to shop- J
My friend Terry got
me hooked on this pattern from Crabapple Hill- it is one of the new ones. Her quilt
top was wonderful- she used a pale variegated thread and turned hers into a
wall hanging-
I had a great
spider web fabric in my stash from years ago- and I also had some great
variegated floss on hand. Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder! I decided to make mine bigger, but stole her
border idea- thanks Terry! And I had an 18” pillow form on hand- hoarding once
again pays off- so I turned mine into a pillow. I think it is going to my
daughter- she was almost drooling on it this weekend.
Sunday I was torn- I
have a quilt that needed to be quilted for a friend, but really wasn’t in the
mood to quilt. So, I pulled out my Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler crap and pieced a
few blocks. This quilt has been an ongoing project for at least 5 years. I did
get 7 or 8 more blocks done. I am now at
32- a little more than 25% done. I am unsure about the lime green one in the 4th row. I will wait until I have them all done to decide if I need to re-make it.Good God why did I come up with the insane idea to make
this? Dumbass-
I did pull out a
snowman quilt to baste, but since I moved the furniture around in the living
room I have not one space big enough for the quilt- not even on my flannel
wall. Oh well, I will bring to work one day this week and baste it. I keep
telling my bosses to quit filling up the damn showroom with doors – it is taking up
my basting floor! But do they listen- NOOOO. JK, I
Love you guys!
I did run to one
of my favorite shops Sunday to get 2 more blocks for my Bear Paw quilt. I did
not get there in October- so I need to get those pieced this week. When I got
back I started on another little project that I can’t share until next week.
Hope you all got to
sew this weekend- or do whatever it is that makes you smile!
