What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I attended a quilt show in Lafayette last week and bought some flannel for donation quilts at 2.00 per yard. I was thinking of the trip around the world quilt I made earlier this year. I didn't take any quilt pictures. oh well

 We traveled to Pendleton Indiana for a lovely quilt show. It was held in the county historical museum. Behind the beautiful quilts, was all the historical museum pieces which was an interesting bonus. I did add a few fabric pieces to my stash from their fabric sales. haha

At our open sew last week, there was some fabric brought in from other quilters for the free table. I snagged these pieces.

 I had a finish this week which makes me happy, and, helps with the yearly stash numbers. 

At open sew, yesterday, someone, surprised me with a quilt top that she had made with fabric that I had donated last month. First of all, the turnaround time was impressive, and, the fact, that she knew it was my fabric donation. It makes it much easier to let go of my precious fabric knowing someone will enjoy it. She has plans to add a border, too, from some of it. 

wow

 I am working on an older ufo called spoolin around. I found the pink I wanted for the setting triangles in my stash, but, I couldn't find a green I like with it for the border. I went through everything on the shelves. anything, I liked I did not have a large enough piece. I have a million yards of fabric, how could I not have what I needed? I checked my back up storage, ahem, yes it is a real thing. Still nothing. I even tried to change colors. So, I repeated the process with blues. I had ...

I didn't buy any new fabric this week. I did find a pile of leftover fabric from my Kristal quilt, and thought I should decide what to do with it, since, I didn't want to put it away. haha

I added more neutrals to my stash. I had cut background for a quilt, and, I feel better if I replace it right away.

I added a bright yellow and clear blue to the stash. I don't really need 2 yards of each, but, missourri star is selling 2 yard or 3 yard cuts, and I like the colors and the price, so, I have more than I need, but, there are worse problems.

We had a great garage sale at our guild meeting. I sold 20 yards of fabric, and, probably bought more than that. One of our guild members was 97, and, just moved into an assisted living center. She gave us all that was left of her fabric. It is a pleasure to have some of her fabric in my stash. But, she kept her sewing machine and some supplies. you go girl. I bought a 2 gallon bag of fabric that I could fill myself at the sale. I concentrated on whites/creams. 

 I found another batch of neutrals hidden in a box. geesh I did cut several shirt quilts awhile back that will need a background. I expect I will start mass cutting those soon. But, I am not sure why the fabric plays hide and seek in boxes.

I am adding purple, orange and yellow to my stash in anticipation of a projects I want to make.  I have a much smaller stash of these colors. I noticed my green scrap drawer is almost impossible to close. I am guessing, I will start a green project soon to use the scraps. It is, after all, a see saw balance of adding and subtracting fabrics. Next week, our guild is having a garage sale. All bets are off, when shopping there - anything could jump into my bag. haha

I couldn't resist a mystery selvedge bundle from missourri star. I was not disappointed. It was so fun to see all the goodies. I think most of them are at least 1 1/2 inch  wide.

 While cleaning my room, I found an unopened box from missourri star quilts. In it were a few neutrals and a fat quarter bundle of kaffe fabric. In my defense, I used to know it was there. I don't need the kaffe until the end of the rainbow scrap challenge year for my lucky stars quilt. So, I didn't hurry to open it.  But, then,.... I forgot it.  Such a lovely surprise to find while cleaning. No one likes to clean, maybe all quilters need to hide fun surprises in the mess to make it more fun. I ...

Yesterday, was my guild class. I had 14 "students" for a trip around the world class. It was great. I am looking forward to Sunday rest and rejuvenation.

 Happy Mother's day

My, my feelings have changed over the years. When I was in grade school, we wrote little essays to someplace that would pick the Mother of the year. I was sure mine would win, until, I was a teenager, then, I thought she should go to Mom jail. Then, I was a new Mom and so excited. I have been in Mom jail myself many times. Now, I just hope for a candy bar passed out at church.

 I found a good deal on a halloween fat quarter bundle and added it to my stash. I really like halloween fabrics. I don't really have any quilts started, and, I try not to buy any in the fall, but, it sneaks in any way.

I bought some springy charm squares. I keep buying them for a particular quilt I have in mind. If I don't stop buying, the quilt will be a super king size.
