DQS6 Auditions

Here is a possible contender for my doll quilt swap 6 partner.....can't go wrong with log cabins. I think the colors are just yummy.....I also did a variation on a favorite quilt which I am still working on.

Overdue Thank-You

A belated thank-you to a lovely lady who sent me this incredible surprise! Holee made this adorable husseif....and she has my colors dead on! It's wallet sized and when you open it up its filled to the brim with all the necessary tools to quilt! Many many thanks Holee! I will treasure this always!

Swaps and Likes

I am addicted to swaps. There. I have said it. The first step is admitting a problem right? Although I must admit,I don't really see it as a "problem" per say. So....for anyone who may have me in a swap:

I love civil war repros and 30s repros. I love "cottage style" romantic fabrics. I am not real crazy about batiks and brights....although I do like Amy Butler and Kaffee K's. I mostly prefer traditional quilt styles and I love scrappy quilts. BUT....those are the kinds I make. So for any one who is making a quilt for me-make what you love and I know I will love it too!

I want to learn to paperpiece an applique. Maybe someday.

Challenge Almost Done

After serious fits with my longarm.....LOTS of wallpaper language.....and many threats to burn the whole thing in the fireplace,this is mostly finished. Top went together easily. Quilting was a nightmare. All that is left is to tack the binding to the back. Guess I may need to do something today besides sew.

Rainy Days and Mondays Challenge

Ok....it's pouring like crazy. Beef stew in simmering in the crockpot. Carpenters cd playing. I got some of these yummy 30's prints out and thought I'd throw out a little challenge and see if there are any takers: Make a little mini from 30's fabrics today. Yes. Today. Finish it and post a picture on your blog! (Ok so the quilt police won't show up if you don't finish it today.....I just like a challenge!)Add your name here with a link to your blog so we can all see what you made! Ladies and gentlemen: start your engines....er I mean your machines!
