Monday, Monday!!!

I have started the Halloween projects!!  Here is the first one, and it is turning out to be really nice.  I designed the layout around the panel myself.  I sent a picture to my Mom and she was impressed and quite pleased with the colors of it.  I will bind it with plain black fabric.  I picked the panel up at a quilt show last year, and finally found fabric at fabric.com for it this year.  Those are creepy crawly spiders on a green background!!!  The purple has witches flying on brooms.  

I will quilt it after I get back from the ASG Convention at the end of August.  So, here is a picture of it, then I will start on a fall table runner, with fabric that Mom bought for me last year!!!

Round Things

This table topper has been on the cutting mat for awhile!  But it is finally finished!  I have done the binding twice!!!  Seems it is going to curl around the edge, no matter what!   This project also called for a 22 1/2 degree ruler.  That was fun to find here in the state of Texas.  I finally found it in NJ!!!  But, what the heck it is finished, it is pretty!! and there is still one more to do. I used fat quarter batiks for the entire project!!!

 I found this project in  a book called "Quilt as Desired" by Charlene C. Frable.  Lots of really nice projects and great hints in this book.

Friday!!!

It has been awhile since I posted!  The quilt show was great. You can't take pictures of the quilts, but boy did I soak up the beauty!!!  This quilt show is moving to Grand Rapids, MI next year!!  It will be bigger and more interesting and supposedly better than ever.  So get ready ladies and enter your best quilts, big or small.

I have been busy since I returned home.  I finished up a really darling hand bag.  Abigal's Purse by Tote's by Sandy!!  I picked the pattern up at the Salt Lake Quilt Festival.  It went together in just a couple of hours and only took a couple of yards of my favorite Laurel Burch fabric.  So here is a picture for you to see!!!

AQS-Knoxville, TN

Wow!! It is beautiful and green here in Knoxville, TN!!!  I have finished setting up the booth for OLISO and am all ready for tomorrow.  I can hardly wait for the rush of people and to see all the beautiful quilts on display.  I will have to take pictures with my IPAD and get them up on the blog after I get home for everyone to see. So for now I will enjoy the humid weather, and the possibility of rain here!!! TTFN

TGIF

It has been a busy week!!!  Mom came for a visit over the 4th of July and we had a great time.  We played in my sewing room while Dennis played golf.  So everyone was happy over the 4th of July.  After Mom went home to Fort Worth I got myself busy designing a new quilt block on muslin.  The old paper piece idea, only on muslin!  Not quite finished with them yet as I want to add some embroidery stitches to them, but here are some pictures.  One is with patriotic fabics and one is with some fall fabrics.  Now I am off to work on a jacket.
