Chocolate Swap


I'm in and waiting for my partner to be named. Sharon at the Red Geranium Cottage is hosting her first swap! I have just the chocolate in mind too....now just to get a box and card together.

Heading to Vegas Baby YEAH!!!!!!!



Well we are off to Vegas and to celebrate my birthday. Halloween is always my favorite holiday because it's so close to my birthday. I'm not sure how many people actually visit my blog but I think now would an awesome time for a giveaway. I mean IF I am getting lucky at the slots in Vegas why shouldn't all of you have a chance to be lucky too!!! I have been cleaning out my satsh and ran across some 3.5 and 4 inch charms that I use to sell on ebay. This was LONG before Moda had charm pack or jelly rolls!
So leave a comment on my blog before November 3rd and enter to win one of these lovely 1930's reproduction charm packs! I will be drawing 2 names after I return.

It's coming along...


Look at all these yummy fabrics. Actually I can finally see them! I will have to say that folding and organizing my fabric this way is awesome. I didn't know what I was missing. I also want to give some credit here. I initially became inspired to do this from Happy Zombie's blog. Her dear friend Karen of Anna Lena's Quilt Shop, has wonderful 30's fabrics, which I absolutely LOVE. I have over 1500...probably not even close to Karen's collection! Anyhow...Thanks to Monica!

Getting there...and our little Calves Cheerleader

Well my quilting space is coming along nicely. My mother in law helped me start to fold my fabric. I need to take more pictures as I fold. It is absolutely amazing how much space I am saving by folding with the 8.5 X 24 ruler. I love it! I am doing my fat quarters with a 4 X 14 inch ruler as well. I can't wait to show it off when I am done organizing.
And here is our new Cleveland Cavalier cheerleader. She was so excited at the Calves game because of the cheerleaders. She did her own routine in the Court Club!

What I need to organize and sort UGH!

Yeah it's that bad...and yeah I have A LOT of fabric! Let me clarify...not all the items in the 'blue' room are quilting or crafting related...just 90%. Now how am I going to fit all that fabric in my storage cabinets? I think I will need more....or perhaps purge some things. I have been sorting quilting magazines for the very purpose of purging. Make room for new ones!

I should be working on my 'quilt loft' right now...... I think these pictures just guilted me into it!
