Quilting patterns??

Where do you draw your inspiration?

Vintage sheets

Do you "heart" vintage sheets? I've been in love with them ever since I saw this quilt made up.

So I've been collecting sheets and pillowcases, when I find them at the thrift shops. I think the word must be getting out, because they are getting harder and harder to find in my area.

If you "heart" vintage, pop over to All Things Vintage Sheets. She is hosting a very sweet giveaway.

And I almost don't want you to pop over to Jane's Fabric and Quilts. She's giving away the most delicious PINK fabrics. And I do so "HEART" pink.

**** I was going to post some very lovely pictures of these fabulous fabrics, but blogger will not let me post pictures today :-(

And something is definitely happening with Blogger. I am not able to return to my Dashboard which is not a good thing. Anyone know what gives??

Have a wonderful quilty day!

Come out, come out, where ever you are

Some of my readers may already know, but we will be moving from our little cottage very soon. I wrote a post about it on my Thrifting blog, and you can read about it here.

So as I have been going through closets, and bags, and boxes, quilt tops have been surfacing ;-)

Wow, talk about a field of flowers!

I laid a piece of black that would be used for a border, but I sure hope I still have some green left to frame it in. This is the pattern I use when I show a newbie how to quilt. It is a fast and easy quilt in a day type pattern. One of these days I will write up a tutorial on it.

And this one is my Three Bean Salad......

It was stashed away to be completed, and I never got around to it. You know about those Round Tuit's, right? My quilting buddies are going to moan over this one. We won't mention how long ago we made these quilts.

For some reason blogger has been giving me a very hard time the last couple of days. Anyone else having difficulty??

**** Just an update. Blogger is not being friendly today. I have had difficulty leaving comments on blogs and sometimes blogs won't even open before a time out message appears. Is there some kind of construction going on??

Enjoy your day!

Monday, Monday

Monday morning always seems to bring a new perspective on life. And there are also giveaways to check out..............

Splitting Stitches is giving away a complete quilt kit!

Jaybird is also hosting a giveaway for The Quilt Shoppe. You must check this one out.

AND my sweet friend RaeAnn is also hosting a fun Giveaway celebrating her 200 followers.

Don't you just love those colorful pinwheels?

And don't miss out on the Accuquilt GO! here.

So, now you know that it isn't a good idea to sleep in on Mondays. Check them out!

And just for fun...........

Wishing you a wonderful quilty weekend!

Just another day in..............

My BFF has been to visit. We always enjoy our time together by doing things we share in common. We went to tea, furniture shopping, browsed the antique shops and of course we went fabric shopping :-)

One of my favorite local quilt shops has recently moved, so we popped in to check out the new location!

Lots of beautiful fabrics.

And always some gorgeous samples.

What better way to spend the day??

Holiday sewing

I've not had a lot of time for sewing/quilting lately, but yesterday I managed to pull off a few hours at the machine.

Thimbleberries pattern - Oak Leaf Cuddly

Working on the center blocks.

Don't you just hate to waste those HST?? So this time I just sewed up a seam as I cut them off of each block.

It only took a few extra minutes to sew the seams together.

And before you know it, I had a string of HSTs.

First set of blocks complete.

HSTs ready for a new project :-)

Guess I will have to wait for another holiday before I can tackle the rest of this quilt!

Now if you would love to win an Accuquilt GO!, be sure to pop over to Bejeweled Quilts by Barb. She is giving away a GO!!! You see we have to help Barb out. She can't sleep or eat or anything until she gives this Accuquilt Go! away. BUT please be sure to tell her that I sent you over :-)

Happy Quilting!
