trying to get out of my own way

Ever have a day like that? Seems like the last couple of months have been that way for me. Had some minor issues that I'm hoping are behind us.  Haven't done much in the sewing dept but I have been practicing feathers on paper.....now to get to the machine. This is my version of Jamie Wallen's flurry feather

I'm working on some bags....hope to have some pictures to share this week. The weather here has been really gorgeous.....it's been nice to be outdoors. I got a few pictures of these guys yesterday.....they were helping out with the lawn care. Hope you have a wonderful day.....thanks for stopping by.

a finish and a wish

I finally finished my liberated amish top. I'm happy with the results....it was a fun challenge. My wish is for everyone to enjoy a Happy and Blessed Easter. The sun is shining here and it has the makings of a beautiful day. Thanks for stopping by.

new project

I'm working on a free form amish quilt.....these will be part of my borders. The blocks are going to be log cabins. The letters were fun to do. Tonya has a great tutorial on free form letters. She started a Liberated Amish Get Together to share our projects. I'm ready for some liberated quilting....seems like a good direction for me.

I used up two more yards of fabric bringing my total to 9 for the year. I haven't added anything new. :)

quiltathon progress

Judy is hosting a quiltathon this weekend.....go on over and check out what everyone is up to. So far I've pieced a 30" baby quilt for my newborn charity group. Tonight is family night so I'm done for today. Since I have the whole day tomorrow to sew I'm hoping to get a couple more pieced. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.....thanks for stopping by.

stash report week 2

I've been working in my sewing area...... cleaning, sorting and rearranging. It's almost where I want it to be. Found a few projects that I'm hoping to finish up. I haven't used any stash this week and I haven't added any. I plan to use up some fabric this week for sure. :)

this week: zero in and zero out
net use for the year: 6 yds

design wall monday

These are the blocks I'm working on.....I have the larger sides to sew on 22 blocks. I'm hoping to finish them tonight and work on the borders tomorrow.
