Quilt Loft in Progress

A small pincushion I finished. I started the hand sewing of the hexagons on a long road trip. I just wanted to use bits of Kaffe Fassette fabrics and this is what I ended up with. It was just for fun...well and needles! Here's the new floor going into the quilt loft.....My husband slaved over this for a few weeks.

And another view. I can't wait to decorate and get all my cabinets and shelves in. Lord I should show all my supplies in boxes and strewn through 3 rooms! It's ugly I tell you. More on that tomorrow IF I have time...

Country Charm and Friends

Well today was a busy day. My friend and her sister came to town for lunch and visiting and going to the quilt shop of course! Here it is...my LQS Country Charm.
Here was my view from the shop. The owner's horses in the pasture. And Carol picking out pinks to match a Lakehouse fabric.
Carol and Cathy together. We had a great visit with Cindy too. I just love her shop.

A few more pictures of WIP's etc.

Blocks I have been appliqueing. Since my quilting/sewing area is in complete upheaval I can't find or remember what book these blocks came from. I will find it some day. Ellie's Room mostly together. You can see her awesome quilt by my friend Marilyn.

A pic of the pink/green table mat...mmm I do like this one.

What a LONG couple of weeks

Well I have not posted for sooo long it seems. I was busy with work, travel to Iowa to see family and then a bout of illness. My 6 year old was ill first then me. Horrible...just horrible what a virus can do. In between all the commotion I did manage to finish a few things. I took a charm pack of Moda "chez moi" fabric and made 2 table mats...sort of blue/orange colorway and a pink/green colorway. I need to photograph the pink one still. It's hard to say which I like better. I love them both! Oh and I used my Clover X-large Yo-Yo maker, love those yo-yo makers too.

Drumroll....... I finally finished Ellie's pants and they are sooooo cute. And boy were they easy. I used my Sis boom fabrics and I am hoping to make a top to match here in the next few weeks.

These 2 quilts were made my Mother in Law. She was turned into a quilter my 'moi' and seems to love it. She likes kits and applique. She does her own machine quilting too so we are proud of her!
