Just What I Need - Another Shopping Bag

Isn't this the cutest fabric. It's an Alexander Henry (love his stuff) with a sewing motif. I added the red and white polka dot for the lining and red handles to complete the shopping bag.



So now it's time to get back to the quilt that is on the design wall.

Side Tracked Again

Well I'm suppose to be working on what's on my design wall (see the previous post) but once again I've gotten side tracked. What could this be? I'll finish it and post a picture tomorrow.

What's on My Design Wall

This is my newest sample of "Magnolia Lane". The picture shows it before the magic happens. Check back in the next couple of days to see how it changes and grows.

Sylvia's Bridal Sampler

This evening I decided to make another block from Sylvia's Bridal Sampler from Elm Creek Quilts. T his one is A1Mosaic. The book has you paper piecing this but that seemed like way too much trouble. I just measured the finished size of the square add 1/2" and cut the individual pieces. I cut the corner and side triangles larger than needed and then trimmed the block to a perfect 6 1/2".

Gift from Frances

Don't you just love it.
My friend Frances Moore gave this to me as a thank you gift. Two Wacky Women recently facilitated a machine quilting retreat for Frances and as a thank you, she made each of us this wonderful piece of art. It is a framed note card that she embellished, quilted and framed. I just love it.

Another Week - Another Sample

As many of you know my life seems to consist of one quilt sample after another. The good news is the sample's sell patterns and kits. The bad news is that once we've sold all the kits, it's time to make another sample. This week I am making a new "Magnolia Lane" quilt sample. The last two samples I made are sold out but fortunately we were able to order more of the fabric used in the original "Magnolia Lane" so I get to take it out of retirement and show it again. Here's a picture of the original one.

How it's time to start my forth sample. I am using the following fabrics.

Looks pretty fun doesn't it? This fabric is Wildwood for Free Spirit, Westminster Fibers, Sophie's Garden. The fabric is cut out and hopefully I'll start sewing on it later today. This kit is available now and the original Magnolia Lane will be available shortly. Just email me if your interested.
