Progress

Goodnight Irene is sewn together.

And because I am purposing to finish my UFO's this year, I'm finishing up the binding on this table topper.

What things are you making progress on??

Happy Quilting!

Snow days?

It's been cold here in the south, but this is the only snow we have at our house :-)  

I made this landscape quilt a couple of years ago, when our family went on a trip to West Virginia.  My kids love to snowboard.

Happy Quilting!

Check out the parking lot

A couple of months ago I met up with my BFF while she was visiting in Florida.  On my way down to meet her, I visited a quaint little shop in Bradenton.

Their selection is not as large as it used to be, and they are leaning more towards modern fabrics.  But what makes this shop unique is this.

There's always a group of Mennonite ladies hand quilting.  And this is their mode of transportation.........

Happy Quilting!

Words of advise

I'm so glad there are no Quilt police!! But I am glad there are many kind and friendly voices to offer their advise.  I loved Jamie's words - "Don't over think it".  Boy is that ever true.  And how many times have I done that to the point of stagnation.  

So onward I go, and Scrappy it is!  Thanks!!!

Happy Quilting!

Decisions, decisions

As I have been working with the fabric for the Goodnight Irene Sew Along, I am debating whether to change the fabrics that make up the points.

Here are some of the blocks on my design wall.

I cut a few solid points to see if the effect would tone down the fabric.

Nothing is sewn together yet, but I'm not sure if in the long run, how the pattern will end up looking.

Hummmm, such decisions..........
