Day 132 - Misc. Sewing Again

Well, more work has been done on the basement ceiling tonight and I believe that it is 1/3 complete!  Here are a couple of photos.

And one more photo looking the other direction:

I sewed another bunch of those little tiny fabric squares while the ceiling was being worked on tonight:

Look what I found and was able to get all 3 items for 40 or 50% off!  Looks like the makings of another lovely quilt one day!

Day 56 - Planning

I met over dinner at Panera Bread tonight with my dear quilting friend Lois.  Our planning included some final decision making on what pattern we will use on our Jelly Roll quilts.  We looked at a book of quilts by Kaffe Fassett and were amazed at the colors and patterns that were put together and the awsome affects in the finished quilts.  We studied the pattern we choose and decided that we needed to do some planning on additional fabrics for 3 borders on the front of the quilt.  An outing is planned next weekend to brose 2 quilting shops in the north metro area.

This is a couple of books on jelly roll quilts, Lois' jelly roll and a free online pattern.

Day 46 - Cutting Blocks

I have so much fabric here and there that I decided to cut more blocks for church just to try

and get back into some kind of organization! 

 So the photo is what I trimmed up into blocks tonight.  There are 3 different sizes.
These are all flannel blocks.

My excitement for the day is that my UPS package arrived with the first jelly roll that I have ever purchased! The fabric line is a Mary Engelbreit and it is called Attitude Girls. 

 I also purchased a yard of one of the fabrics to use as a border on the quilt project that

a good friend and I are going to work on together using a jelly roll.  Aren't they lovely fabrics?
