Design Wall Monday

I finally have a design wall and can post on Design Wall Monday. The top is now done just needs to be ironed. It was a mystery class I took last month. We used a Jelly Roll and two other fabrics.

What's on Your Cutting Board

I am hooked on cutting squares for the green quilt I am going to make. I did have to take a break and cut out my homework for a class on Tuesday. It's a mystery so I have no idea what I'll be making. This picture is from cutting the green squares. Now I need to cut out lots and lots of white squares.

Monday update

I go 30 5" squares cut out with 4 2" square to go with each square. I also got the 6 large bird blocks cut and 4 medium and 2 small.

The Cutting Has Begun

My friend Kerstin has made six green quilts this year alone. Her last is my favorite. I have decided to make one of my own. She has a stash of great scraps which to pull from. As I do not, I had to purchase some additional green fabric. I had coffee with another friend today and she too like that quilt. I challenged her to make one. As always with any type of diet, I ending blowing it. This month was a quilt show and bought just one Sweet Treat pack. That was was equal to 2.5 yards of fabric and today was 2 1/4 yards of more fabric.

Sunday Afternoon

Went to a wonderful quilt show yesterday in Eureka CA. Nice to see what different quilters do. Took pictures and can not wait to go home and sew. Did help out the local economy a bit. Went shopping today and helped out some more. I am trying to do my best to hellp out when can

Happy 4th

Well it's been close to almost a month since I Blogged. Not much sewing going on. I fell off the fabric diet so bad I'm not sure where I am. I did make a few thread catchers and been working on this years cat quilt. Decided to use flannel this year using the BQ pattern.

Sunday's Report

I have the three labels made and sewn onto their respective quilts. I need to put a sleeve on my Earth, Wind and Fire quilt by Friday for turning in to the fair. The next project to be made is this years quilt to be donated to the Marin Cat Connection. I have the fabric all washed and ready to go. It's going to be in flannels.

I finally found the perfect fabric for the background fabric for the Bird quilt I am going to make after the cat quilt. Hmmm I seem to be on an animal theme here. I went to the Santa Rosa Quilt Show today with some friends and a had a fun time. I was good at the show only adding 3 fat quarters to my black and white stash. Then on the way to dinner, we stopped at a local store that had recently moved and I found it, the perfect fabric. I knew it would be right when I saw it.
