Thursday.

It was time.

Time to make a charity/donation quilt.

And...

I did TWO things I RARELY do.

 

I followed a pattern.

And.

I used a collection of fabric.

;)

 

This fabric comes from connecting threads.

EXCEpt...

that thin line of purple.

THAT ...was in my stash.

I ran out of purple and had to use SOMETHING!

The kittens are SURE to make someone smile.

;)

A little quilting...

a little binding....

A FUN quilt!

Good morning!

I woke up today and began working on my

LITTLE house quilt.

 

I. am. loving. it.

I made some little trees last night to use.

Went to my SPARE PARTS dept.

ie....Orphan drawer...

and found these little tiny stars

I had been making 2(?) years ago.

 

It's going to a VERY fun quilt!

Can't wait.

 

My day is BUSY...

so.... I DO have to WAIT.

(Should be OFF computer

getting ready right now!!)

You know me!

Have to gab about current project

the MINUTE

something FUN gets started,

the MINUTE it

gets moving...

or

the MINUTE

it gets DONE!!!

I WILL be carrying my NEW BAG though!

Kind of quirky??

 

Yah.

That's me.

;)

Wonderful weaving

I've been doing some weaving.

What fun!

This one's for a friend.

 

 

This soft and cool runner is for the shop.

The colors feel like a calm day at the ocean.

;)

and.....

 

My latest fabric acquisition.

(hand me down fabric....the BEST kind!!!)

;)

TONS of this ONE fabric!!!

 

Thin. Gauzy. unfit for quilts.

hmmmm....

How will it work in the loom????

I added lots of little leftover tshirt parts....

This one is FRESH off the loom.

You can tell I need to do some finishing work on the ends there.

Oooh!

 I love the TEXTURE!!!

 

Should I make a bag????

I think I might.

Gotta go figure out HOW!!!

;)

 

Growing

My little house quilt is growing.

:)

Since I'm making it up as I go.....

I'm letting the SCRAPS dictate the size!!!

 

The houses range from about 4 1/2" to 5" tall.

That means....

They won't line up real well in a row going across.

But.....

 

I COULD line them up in a column!

 

Many options.

Lots to DREAM about!

Lots of scraps that need HOUSING!!!

LOL!!!

 

I think these houses need some trees...

and maybe some stars....

hmmmm.......

I sure Love DREAMing!

 

 

Special request

a baby quilt with houses.

OOOoh!!!

It's going to be so CUTE!

 

Can't wait to make some more little tiny houses.

;)

Orphan blocks

I have a fascination with orphan blocks.

I love figuring out how to get them together.

I love the controlled chaos they create.

Or...

maybe you think it's not all that controlled???

 

I love giving beautiful handwork

a home.

;)

I love the motion all those lovely points give this quilt!!!

 

I hope to give this quilt top a few calming borders.....

That's ALL it needs!!!

 

Many orphans make a MARVELOUS quilt!!!!

Neighborhood fun!

Remember the Neighborhood party we had at the end of 2012?

 

Lots of house blocks came to me!!

and then...

Some really FUN neighborhoods were SENT OUT!!!

 

Look at what Ida did with her winnings!!!

A four seasons Tablecover!!

Isn't it great???

And.....

CREATIVE???

If you happen to SPY your house block...

she'd LOVE to hear from YOU!

Some of the houses were signed...

and some were not.

:(

 

Hey!

Did you win some house blocks too???

We'd LOVE to see what YOU made!

 

Happy stitching everyone!
