Getting Closer!!

"Made in Cherry" with "Park Avenue" by 3 Sister's.

Block 9 by Jovita

 Jovita is the designer for block 9 on the "Moose on the Porch" Fat Quarter Star QAL. She is expecting twins and after designing many star blocks decided on this one because of her babies to be.  It was a lot of fun to make.  She always comes up with patterns that work really well!  I am still learning how to share where these people are in blogland....but you can get to FQSQAL from my sidebar and find her there....sorry...I am a work in progress!  (O:

My 10X10 Made in Cherry

I am using 3 Sister's Park Ave. for this QAL.  I have the main body done just need to get going on the star points.  I have the dark brown for the background of the top.  I have loved this fabric for a long time and have been gathering it for about the same!!  It's a fun quilt to make and she has given us many size options.

My Lucky Day

On December 22, 2011 I woke up to find out that I had won the "Moose on the Porch FQSQAL!!  I got these wonderful fat quarters as my prize!!  Then that same evening I was checking a giveaway on Melissa's blog Happy Quilting....and I won again!!!  This time a Jelly Roll by Joanna Figueroa...California Girl...from Burgandy Buttons ...Oh my goodness I could hardly believe my eyes!!

Here is block 88 "Star of Hope" and block 4 "Basket Weave".  I used a 2 inch square with the line drawn diagonally down the center and sewed on either side to make the Star of Hope triangles.  Worked really well!

Christmas presents

My husband gave me a gift card to one of my quilt shops...I found this lovely "September Light" by Lida Enche for In The Beginning.  I don't have a clue what I will be making but I just had to get it!!  I got some other nice things too....but my favorite is a KitchenAid  2 Speed Hand Blender!!  Yummy hot soups are on the way!  Girls like toys too!

Made in Cherry QAL

I will be using the yummy "Park Avenue" by 3 Sisters.  I already have 2 quilts in use all the time made from their "Chocolate" line...the colors are similar and will go nicely together.

Happy Birthday Barbie!!

Today is my sister Barbara's 60th birthday....I thought she should get a huge bouquet of Kaffe Fassett's flowers.  The very first quilt shop my sister and I went into in Gilbert Az. had a huge amount of beautiful K. F's fabrics....she is the one that introduced me to him and his delicious fabrics...so it's only fitting that I give her some back on her Special Day!!  Don't you all agree?!  Happy Birthday Barbie!!  I love you!!
