Another T-shirt quilt finished yesterday, and it's off to a new home this evening... I added letters to this one!



A PLAIN white binding!

Hi Y'all

More cows...  I have a herd now!

Here's the newest girls to join up...

And a close up.

All from Mary Lou Weidman's new "Out of the Box" quilt book.

The Sewing Room is Back to Normal!

Yes, I'd like to report that the sewing room is back to normal.

A lovely, colorful mess, what fun!

If you look closely, you can see I bought Mary Lou's new book and I am making....

A cow quilt, here's the first two sisters in the herd.

I am so looking forward to the weekend. Phew.

Thrift Store

Look what I found at the thrift store this weekend....

Isn't she a beauty!
(I think it's funny I am thrilled by a new iron.)


and a not so vintage sheet...but who could pass it up?

This will be a great back for some project or another. 


It's almost Friday, in fact I am minutes away... I'd better hit the sack.

My Fabric Stash

Well remember during the big sewing room move my fabric looked like this????

and this????

Now, using a little "out of the box" imagination....  I used my china hutch for my stash.

I'd like to report to you that is still looks that good, however, it would be a fib!  I dove in and started cutting and stitching last night, but it's nice to have everthing in some semblance of order!

Also, three more napkins!



Movin' on Up!

I have a new sewing room!!!!  Here's the scoop.  My old sewing room was in a den type room, connected to our great room/kitchen area.  A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about moving everything in the sewing room so we could install new carpet, what a mess!  The carpet was installed while we were on vacation, and as we drove (13 hour trip - one way)  my husband suggested moving my sewing room to our great room area!!!!  At first reluctant to spread my mess, I finally agreed, and am I ever a happy camper.

Lots of Light! (Em, Mary in the background!)

As you can see lots of natural light, so much so it is difficult to take photos.  This photo taken from the middle of the great room, we used this side as my sewing room and the other side as a sitting area, using my quilts and some furniture as a partition of sorts. 

Partition

We moved the TV and couch to the smaller den, really a better place for it, you can now actually hear the TV, as in the great room, the sound was somewhat muffled and drowned out by the rest of the activity in this highly used part of our home.  As my husband said, "I had to get her out of her cave!"  Happy Sunday to all, I am off to stitch.

Tomorrow, (or the next day, whenever I get around to it!), my stash also has a new home.

Nadin Quilt Finish

It's dooone!   For my new girl Nadin.  Made from the scraps of the Lone Star Quilt.

Front

Pieced Back (As Quiltdiva Julie says "is there any other kind?)

A little closer...


Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone, I like the back better than the front.

Love Grandma Kat!
