Design Wall


Sand Castle is coming together. Above are just a few of the blocks. I was short one block, UGH! So I am putting that together this week, and will lay out all the blocks on the floor (too big for desigh wall). Hope to get all the rows sewn together and maybe a finish on the horizon. Love how this is looking.
Happy Sewing!

Stash Report



Back from our Colorado Trip. We had a wonderful time in Rocky Mountain and Arches National Parks. Rocky Mountain was so beautiful and we hope to return again soon. You can check out all my pictures here. We were able to visit two quilt shops, one in Cortez, Colorado called Cortez Quilt Company and one in Moab, Utah called Never Enough Stitches. LOVED Cortez Quilt Company- so many great fabrics and projects. We purchased some placemat panels and backings, and some other suprises. And I signed up for an online mystery quilt that starts in August.

The fabrics above were from Never Enough Stitches. This shop had a good selection of fabrics and many hand made gift items. Fun place to visit.

So, nothing finished, except the blocks that were prepped for my Dear Hannah. 

Used this week: 0 yards.
Used YTD: 67 yards.
Purchased this week: 9 yards.
Purchased YTD: 44.5 yards.
Net Fabric Used YTD: 22.5 yards.

Enjoy your week!

A new Judy Niemeyer quilt was started this week. I will be working on this during my Tuesday sewing group. It was all cut out and ready to start last year. So I pulled it out and have started on some of the paper piecing. My colors are a bit different from the photo.


Five more blocks prepped this week. These will come with me when we head out on our next trip. I only have 10 more blocks to go!

Happy 4th of July!

On the design wall this week is the I spy quilt. blocks are done and sashing cut. Will be working on sewing into rows and hopefully adding borders for a finish this week.


After almost finishing Sandi's embroidered quilt, (I ran out of the blue thread for the sashing) I took that one off the Longarm and am working on this cute Cats in Pajamas quilt, also for Sandi. This will go a lot quicker than the embroidered one!

Happy Sewing!
