I have sewn a bit...I know it's hard to believe..

While I have been down vacationing in Pawleys Island I was able to spend a couple of hours with my friend Marilyn. We skipped down to the Quilter's Cottage in Garden City. LOVE it! While we were browsing...one gal that was working mentioned she was making a quilt with Objects of Desire fabric by Moda. They didn't have the pattern (it was on order). She ran home and brought the quilt back to show us. Of course I didn't have my camera...Geesh! Anyhow, Marilyn and I fell in love with the quilt. I think it is the fabric...the pattern itself wouldn't have done a thing for me. So here are 8 of the 9 fabrics we bought....you only need 5/8 yard of each. The pattern is Big Birdie by Barbara Brandenburg. Say that 3 times fast!

I did get back to the store 2 days later and get the pattern and I took the picture above with my cell phone....it doesn't do a thing for the quilt...as it is cute and fun in person.
So needless to say Marilyn and I spent the afternoon cutting 12.5 inch circles, and 19 inch squares from our fabrics. I have all my fusible pieces made and ready to be fused. I am waiting to buttonhole stitch until I get home so the entire quilt will be made on one sewing machine.

I have sewn many more projects these last few days but I can only show the Fat Quarter Shop's BOM block 10. The rest are kind of a secret...until the projects are complete....

Sugar Cubes...

Check out my newest tutorial on Moda Bakeshop!

not too productive here....

So far I haven't been too productive in the sewing department. I did get the binding sewn for this table topper. It's made with Bleekerstreet fabrics. I hope to have more to show in the next days...we'll see.

A gift for Yash

Another finish in April....I bound this one quick as close friends of ours had a little boy on March 26th...His name is Yash, which means "glory" in Hindi. I hope he likes it!

April Fool's Day....

I have no funny stories to tell about this day..Drat...
It's been busy here and all I have to show for it is one finish....My first finish for April wooohooo!

I had posted about this quilt awhile back...it has made a trip around the world thanks to an address mistake by the machine quilter...NOT my usual quilters keep in mind. Anyhow, as some may recall the quilt was stained and had yellow markings on the borders. Now that I have it bound and washed it appears the stains have washed out. Thank goodness. Now it is bound and resting comfortably on DD1's bed...she loves it.
