My package of fabric arrived from Vintage and Vogue.  I ripped open the box and spread it all out right on top of my cutting table.  This is the Real Deal.  The fabric for the blended quilt I am REALLY making for the Challenge!  The fabric (Marleigh by Benartex) is more gorgeous than my wildest…

  I am still waiting for the fabric to arrive for the blended quilt project I am working on with my blogging friends Perry, Cindy, and Lisa.  I ordered it Sunday and it is Friday already and it still has not arrived.  Since I am completely obsessed with making a blended quilt NOW, fabric or…

  This is not the quilt pattern I have chosen for the Blended Quilt Challenge.  Really.  At least I don’t think so.  But while I am waiting for the fabrics for my REAL project to arrive, look what I made with the auxillary back up fabrics?  Isn’t it pretty?  I love those calm blues.  I…

Lisa (Stashmaster), Perry (Okperisplace) and Cindy (Too Much Fabric So Little Time) and I are beginning a new Quilting Challenge!  Please join us as the four of us launch ourselves into a brand new project.  This challenge charges us to make a Blended Quilt using one of the four following blended quilt books: Blended Quilts…

I opened a treasure chest today.  Recently some of my blogging friends and I have been discussing a new Challenge we want to participate in together.  I don’t want to spoil the fun by saying too much about it just yet, but I will say that I went out to my stash storage area to…

Here you see a photo of the quilt that is currently on my bed.  I just changed things out yesterday to have more of a fall feel to the decor.  This is a Thimbleberries sampler quilt I made ages ago.  I used a Thimbleberries pattern and all Thimbleberries fabrics.  I am a bit over my…

istockphoto How do you pick the perfect pumpkin?  Last year Sara and I went to a couple of local pumpkin farms in the hope that we would find that elusive item.  Dressed in our cutest fall outfits, we trudged down row after dusty row of pumpkins searching for the right ones.  Dodging little kids on…

I finished my Sampler Quilt that I have been working on with Lisa!  I am a day late, but at least I have finished something.  I am very happy with the way this top turned out.  I used the Chocolat fabric line by Three Sisters for Moda.  Of course I had to add in a…
