Monday.

The village is complete.

Even though I had lots of distractions....

I was able to finish this quilt!

Yippee!!!

                                         

I had lots of fun doing some

Improvisational quilting!

Big feathers,

Little feathers,

some doors.....

This quilt was just asking

for some

fun!!!

a village grows

Remember this quilt???

The new owner wanted it to be twin size....

so it had to grow...

 I added a simple border today.

I'm so happy this quilt found a good home!!!

It's going to a lady who has been "looking out"

for my friend's college age daughter in far away Austria!!

(This even involved trips to the doctor!!)

She wants to give her a nice thank you gift.

I'm so pleased she chose this quilt!!!!

Now just take a look at the fabric I found for the backing!!!

Alexander Henry.

Mmmm...I don't usually brag about brands...

but this one is so  nice!!

You can tell it's QUALITY fabric.

Plus....The color and design JUST FIT this quilt to a "T".

O.K.

I've now got a backlog of quilts to quilt!!!!

Should I read more blogs...

Make comments on blogs.....

Make comments on comments.....

Or....

Do the right thing...and.....

Quilt????

I'm linking up with sarah today!

It's fun to cheer each other on!

I couldn't wait.

Two simple borders SURE make a difference, huh?

I just couldn't wait to show you all!!!

I love this quilt sooo much already!

I'm also dreaming about applique on that blue border.

Won't that be fun???

One GREAT thing about this quilt....

Everything was given to me or in my cupboard

EXCEPT...

that great Turquoise/blue gingham border!

I found that today, extra wide, $1.98 a yard!!

That was almost given to me.....right?? right.

neighborhood update!

My little village is coming together!

Lots of zigzagging plus I added some details

with easy peasy steam-a-seam.

The clouds around the sun are one of my favorite details on here...

but I was so sad.

I used the very last bit of that fabric...

I didn't have enough for more clouds!!!

:(

Guess that's what you get when you

JUST use your stash.

And that's what I like to do!!!

It makes it more of a challenge!!

I think it needs at least one more border...

Blue?

Red?

a simple plaid??

The decision will keep my brain nice and busy today!;)

How about you?

Did you notice everyone's house project

over there on the sidebar?-------->

You should run around the neighborhood

and see what people are doing with their

little, tiny, itty bitty house!!!!

Pip even made a quilt with her

winning houses!

Woo Hoo!!!
