I am so pleased with how this quilt is going. 

My thoughts are to add a narrow boarder in the Kona Snow and then squares or rectangles of the 1930's fabric as the final boarder.

Then again, maybe I ought to just leave it as it is now...

What would you do?







1930's Pinwheel Quilt

I am going to work on my 1930's pinwheel quilt top today...

I need to see the happy colors...

I hope I made them accurately enough for them to go together right....

Always nervous about that...

I'm using a lot of ...'s today...

=)

What are you all working on today? Do you use ...'s when you write?



A tiny peek of the Peeps

August 13, 2010

I told you it was a tiny peek....


More pictures to come. I promise!

And because I love this line so much, I bought a fat quarter set in the red colorway. I'm on a search for the blues...


Have a great Friday!

Making lotion bars

August 10, 2010

The recipe for the hard lotion that Casey and I use can be found here. =) 


The big one is going to Africa where Casey's mother-in-love is a missionary. 


Packaged up and ready to hand out to our friends.



Playing with Natalia's stash

Pinwheel baby quilt top made from Natalia's turnovers. 


Fun bright baby quilt top also from Natalia's stash.



This block was in Natalia's box of stash, as well. I'm going to use it as a wall hanging or hang it on my front door this winter. 



Natalia was very generous. =) 

Reorganizing and stash playing

August 9, 2010

Last week, I bought a new-to-me desk from Stuff Etc with the intention of making into a sewing table for my Viking, but ended up liking it so much I decided to rearrange my living room so I could use it as my computer desk. The drawers are huge!! I will fix it up one of these days...


The few precuts I have and some stash I bought from Natalia of Piece N Quilt all tucked in the bottom drawer.


My old computer desk became Reagan's. He has more room to spread out and do his schoolwork here.


Where Reagan used to have his laptop was at the end of the dining room table that I use for my sewing center. Now that he has his own desk, I can have my Viking on the end of the table and she is ready to use when I need her. It ended up being a win-win all around!


One of the many fun treasures I received in Natalie's stash was some Moda Turnovers. I'm making them into pinwheels with plans to make a baby quilt or something out of them.


These blocks were already sewn into strip sets by Natalia, so I added the Moda marbles Jelly Roll strips that were in the stash box in between them to make a start of a baby quilt. It only needs a couple of boarders to make it a bit larger.

It's been a lot of fun playing with new-to-me fabric and this is only a small portion of what was in the box. I meant to take pictures, but got all caught up in sorting it and putting it away that I forgot.


Have a great day!! It's hot, hot, hot here in Iowa and I plan on staying inside and doing some more playing with fabric.

Working with the Peeps

August 5, 2010




The Castle Peeps fabric is here! My young and highly intelligent friend, Casey, got to work designing the quilt we are going to make. I'll get to do the hands on work as she claims she can't sew a straight line. I am determined to get her to learn to sew before the winter is over.


The actual design is a secret for just a little while. =) I will post the progress we make as we go.

Sew Now! Sew Wow!


I found this at Hobby Lobby last weekend. Cute, huh?
