The Sewing Room

There has been lots of activity in the sewing room the past few weeks. I have spent lots of my time at home and really enjoyed getting some of my UFO finished or close to being finished.
The Pinwheel is one of two pinwheel quilt tops that I am working on. The pastel colored fabric came from the stash and had been in the stash for a very long time.
The Dresden Plate are fabrics that I had been collecting for the past few years.
The third quilt is a quilt our Jefferson Library group has been working on to give to library for a wallhanging in the media room.

Fabric Gift

This fabric was given to our Monday Methodist Quilting group along with a pattern. So I pieced and quilted this cute quilt for them to raffle off. Blues and yellows are great colors for a bright quilt.

Spring is Here

Spring is really here. These are some snapshots of a few of the iris that are growing in our yard. I love the spring! Now I want to go to the Iris-Daylilly farm and purchase more iris while they are in bloom.

Left Over Blocks

When I was making a quilt I call my red double star quilt, I had a number of left over blocks. I had made these blocks thinking they would go into the red star quilt but they just didn't work out. So I took the blocks and made this small quilt. And it really does look nice on the end of the bed where the double star quilt is being used. It is a nice quilt to get under for an afternoon nap. Hope you enjoy.

Fabric Resolution

I have been sewing over 40 years and making quilts for over 20 years. I have purchased many fabrics over these years! So I have made a decision to start cutting some of my "unwanted" and "what was I thinking when I purchased that fabric" into 2 inch wide strips. From these strips I am going to start making log cabin quilts. In the past week I took some left over scrapes and made a 9 patch quilt. When I have completed this quilt it will measure about 70 x 90---and all from left over scrapes. I am really excited about turning out as many quilt tops as possible this year. What are you doing with your scrapes. I would love to hear from you.

Snow in Georgia February 12 2010

We had a very large snow in Georgia on Friday. And more is expected tonight. We usually do not have this much snow but it has been a very strange winter in our area. It was beautiful and today most of it will be gone as the temperture is in the fifties. But while it was on the ground it was just beautiful.

How Much Longer?

How much long can winter last? I am tired of the cold and rain.

Don't you love this beautiful quince bloom? I'm dreaming of an early spring, please, please, please. Beautiful spring pictures can be seen over at Southern Lagniappe's blog which you can access from my blog list.
