Happy Birthday Maggie!!
Just a short parade of your last few years!

18, are you kidding!

Where did the time go?

You are a senior in High School, soon to leave for College.

No worries, really, Mommy will be able to handle it!

Daddy and I love you and are so proud of you.  xxxoxo

A Flimsy!

Oh My Goodness,  

I am just tickled pink with this flimsy!  What fun I had with this wall-hanging.  I loved every second. Loved picking out what block to make. Loved picking out what colors to use in the block. Loved picking out the barn colors. Loved picking out the sashing fabrics.  

I loved it all!!

Now, I have not trimmed it yet because I do not know if I should add a border? and what color binding?

Advice please!

Happy Sewing!

So Close!

So close!!

Here are my last three barns that I have made for Lori Holt's Quilty Barn Along.

They are yet to be trimmed!

I decided to stop at nine as this is going to be a wall-hanging. 

Here is my layout.

I realized as I was working that I have hand pieced all of these blocks! So, I decided to continue and hand piece the sashing with some of my 

Flower Sugar Fabrics.

I love these fabrics, so bright, fun and happy. I hope to show you the flimsy in the beginning of the new year. Note, I said hope!!

Happy Sewing!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving.

Just got home from 7 hours of Black Friday Shopping!  I am pooped!!  But so well worth the day! Great deals and a lot of fun.

As I mentioned in a previous post I am involved in The x and + Friendship Block Swap.

My partner choose. red, light green, and blue for this month's blocks. We make 4 twin blocks . I keep four, I send my partner four.

Here are the four I will be sending to the UK!

This month it is my turn to pick the colors from our palette.

I choose; Navy, Yellow, and Blue.

Here is a peek at some of my fabrics.

Just a reminder, you can join anytime!  Come take a peek at the flickr page to see other blocks from different color palettes.

Happy Sewing, have a wonderful weekend and do something you love.

A Post To Share

Scrap Vortex

I simply adore this quilt.

My Katie Jump Rope was my quilt for 2013 all pieced and quilted by hand.

I was so inspired by Amanda Jean's quilt that I decided that this will be my 2014 quilt!

I am so excited!!

Of course I have scraps and I cannot believe I am even saying this but I have to get more!!

Must find scraps!

Thank you to Amanda Jean for allowing me to share this quilt.

Amanda Jean has posted more about her quilt on her blog.
