  1. Okay, say it with me, I am addicted to material and quilting! Love this. You're going to guilt me into finishing the quilt I started for Claire. Are you doing the top stitching to finish the quilt? That's what always gets me. Super job!

  2. Beautiful! Have you ever been to Just for Fun Fabrics? You'd love it if you haven't discovered it already. It's in Maybranch Square.

  3. Oh, that's GORGEOUS!!!!
    Really beautiful!

    I'd like to learn how to do that style quilt, cause it looks like you could make good ones in all styles and colors (read: teach me, too!!!)

  4. not guilting anybody onto anything :-)

    I'm going to stipple it - which is a fancy way of saying 'free motion machine quilting'

    nope, never been to just for fun. sounds fun, though :-)

    Lana ~ I was going to have you come over & help me ~ I should have! sure I'll teach you. Save all your scraps (fabric ones, not food :-)

  5. haha, okay. I don't know if I sew with woven cotton enough.
    Heehee, I could save the food scraps so family can have something to eat while I'm sewing :)
    Enjoy Monk!

  6. I wish I had fabric from everything I made for you through the years ~ wouldn't THAT have made a lovely (and colorful!) baby quilt?? sniff
    I can still see the pinkish-mauve fabric from the very first outfit I made you - the one where my sewing machine broke, so I sewed most of the bodice by hand.....
    trust me - save the scraps. at least a few of the biggest from every project. Even if you move to a tiny house. Foodsaver them :-)

    Dad's alseep - Monk'll have to wait till tomorrow. Oh the torture.

  7. oh, I see what you mean. That would've made a nice quilt. Esp if you could have put in the gold and purple sunshine princess fabric, and the blue stuff from my Jasmine costume.
    Yeah, okay, I'll save it :)
