Quiltathon Post# 2

Wow this has been a great sewing weekend. I Finished the top from my workshop that I took yesterday. That's the first photo. I finished some pinwheel block for a block of the month I'm working on. The pieces will be put in a center block like the third picture. This is a Block of the Month from Painted Pony Quilt Shop called Mystic River. This is really out of the box for me fabric wise. It has a lot of brights & Kaffe Fassett like fabrics. I can't what till I have all the block. The last photo is Fire Escape by Terry Atkinson. I'm using some Amy Butler fabrics that I've had for sometime. I think that's it, wow that's a lot. I should have Fire Escape done this week, so I can have another finish. Until next time.

Stash Report Week # 3

Well another week down. I'm three weeks in a bought some fabric. I have a jelly roll of the Rouenneries by French General and have finally found the right pattern. I had to get some background and border fabric. I could have bought more, but this year I'm trying to use more of my stash. So 3.675 yards came home. I also took a workshop this week and learned lots of new tips to use in my quilting. I don't get to take to many because I work full time. When our guild has speakers that come on Saturdays I try to take them. I've made a lot of small things to put in quilts, but nothing finished to the point to call it done. I'm of to the machine to finish something this weekend for the quiltaton Judy has going. Until next time.

Quiltathon Post 1

This week was our Quilt Guild meeting and our speaker was Pam Buda from Heartspun Quilts. She did a great job on the lecture. We also had her come and do a workshop, we don't have to many on Saturdays. So today was the workshop. We learned alot of quick tips & techniques. This was a great class. Pam is real good and has alot of good ideas. So I sewed all day and only have a few bags. After I'm done here I'm of to the sewing machine to get more done. I also had a late night quilter last night and got a few pinwheel blocks done for a Block of the month I'm doing. I will have a few more pictures for tomorrows post. Until next time

Week #2

Well this week went by fast. I only got a little sewing done this week. I did cut out a quilt so that's something I can work on this week. I really wanted to sew today however we got a new TV for Christmas and decided it was time to put it up. I thought for sure it would only take an hour at the most. It turned into an all afternoon project. There went the sewing time. I have to say that going from a 27" TV to a 42" TV is quite a difference. Why we didn't do it soon is beyond me. I think it was because we had a TV that worked and was just fine. Well back to the stash report. Nothing in and nothing out so that's also good. Until next time
