So maybe this is NOT the time to start blogging again. But I couldn't sleep (yet too sleepy to be able to sew),I wanted to enter the Quilt Festival and I do enjoy blogging once I am in the routine.
This is what I'm working with right now;
Do you recognize it?? Origins by Basic Grey & Moda. I was asked to make a scruffily quilt out of this but had a request to make it a bit bigger than it would be if I used a layer cake. Answer to that problem was to buy the FQ bundle and a jelly roll. Now I have enough for TWO scruffily quilts (one the 'standard' size and one a bit bigger), possibly a Modern Irish Chain and I will still have enough left over for yet another project! I could have done the binding a different way but decided to use pieces from the jelly roll to make a pieced binding (there will be plenty of that left over for another project too!).Has anyone found any great blog posts about Quilt Market?? I've only seen a couple and there are not near the photos and stories as there have been from past markets. I don't think I've seen anything from the Michael Miller booth except for the retro mannequins and I haven't heard what the Moda theme was. Anyway, if you have a link for me please do share.
Okay, I'm going to try to get some sleep. I hope I don't sleep in too late now because I have LOTS to get done! I'm going to have this post late morning so you all will think I am up and being productive. ;)
Praise - for my wonderful hubby. He celebrated a birthday yesterday!
Prayers - for my hubby - that he would continue to grow in his relationship with the Lord, for continued good health, and for healing for his knees (that he has somehow injured).
I haven't seen as many market posts either...I think quite a few will still be coming! I love that origins fabric...still can't decide what to make with my charm pack!
ReplyDeleteNatalia has some links and posts about QuiltMarket on her blog.......

And, by the way, I spent about and hour and a half browsing Fabric.com today....thanks for the link. I'll probably be even more grateful when the coupons come in !
Well don't let me near that fabric, I'll drool all over it, lol. YUM!
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't seen blog posts about Market as much as other years either....hm. Wonder why? Tell your hubby happy birthday, and I'm praying he recovers quickly!

ReplyDeletewow! so many possibilities with those 2 packs of fabric. should be some fun ahead.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know dad hurt his knee???
I took the plunge !
ReplyDeleteMy first order to Fabric.com.
I can't believe that they count the order as being $35.00 or more BEFORE the extra discount coupon is subtracted ! Thanks for the heads up ! My order was $37.14, getting me the free shipping, but then became $26.05, thanks to the 30% off coupon in their email ! Wow.......eleven yards of fabric for that price, with free shipping to boot !
Woo Hoo.........sorry to use your comment section to tell you this, but I couldn't connect with your email.
THANK YOU !
