More great fabrics!

Thanks to my friend magan I have more fabric coming my way! lol. Due to our similarities with fabric we were able to split several bundles! It cuts down on costs too! We got three bundles including neptune, soiree, and twiggy...


Oh I love them all! I can't wait for the others to come out that I listed on my previous blog. I am def. buying those also. I spent my of the the weekend work on my hello betty quilt...I had a honey bun that I was working with and doing some log cabin blocks. I did 10'' blocks, but bad news is that I ran out of fabric, so I am buying another honey bun. I was also working on another quilt, its got teals, reds, greens...its really pretty. I am doing a larger log cabin block with stripes of fabric randomly placed. When I finish both I will post them. I also am going to start on a moose wall hanging for my dad. I made him a duck quilt a while back and decided its time for something else. I have an Idea in my head of what I want to do. I hope to get a few quilts back from the quilters this week so I will have a bunch of projects to post!! :) stay tuned!!!!!!!!

New & Exciting FQB

Since our cable is out...I decided to work on some quilting projects this morning...

1.) Teal Jelly Roll

2.) Hello Betty
3.) Wood Charms

Then once I finish those I can start on peicing my LQ4 quilt
s
1.) Surf and Sand
2.) Paisley

After those are done, hopefully LQ5 will be in full affect and I ha
ve two quilts for that one... 1.) In the Pink
2.) Americana

I'm also gonna try a Kentucky fleece/cotton quilt for Brock's step dad Finally I will be done with all my quilts! I've been on a kick to make every one of my friends/family a quilt. I have been quilting like crazy! I can then concentrate on selling projects or whatever I choose. I was browsing the fatquartershop and came across these collections...and I love them all!! Take a peek! ------->

Last night I went crazy and organized my little crafting closet. I did alot of work and sorted out all my fabrics by colors, then I put in a small bookshelf and put some of my quilting tools, notions in the baskets. It turned out pretty neat! :) I can see what I have in my crafting closet now! yay for that! Anyways, back to quilting now!!

Stash Building...

As the economy slowly fails, I am doing my part as an American to keep the fabric stores in business. That is my excuse to buy more fabric. Most people are taking from their stashs but not this qirl. As much fabric as I have been buying lately I am going to need more room for it! Anyways, I went on fabricworm.com which I love and placed another order...I got a bunch of goodies! here are a couple....

I just love collecting cute fabric prints, and checking whats new. I also am loving this new fabric line called neptune. I've been looking at it alot lately because well its new, but mostly because its by tula pink and I love her! I think me and freestyle might go in halfsy on the fat quarter bundle of 34 peices...makes me feel like im not spending a TON of money on it.

Robot Fabric Rocks



I need a new camera, my flash really sucks, and I hate how all my pictures look dull. Hopefully this Christmas I will get a new one! Maybe this stimulus check can go toward a new camera! I made this robot I pod touch cover for Brock (the fiance) I just love robots, and he loved it too!





My next venture is to make a tampon wallet (sorry guys I had to say it) I hope to try it out this weekend. I bought fabric from fabric.com from august fields collection. I just LOVE it. I am doing a personal swap on craftster with Magan aka Freestyle. I promised her a "wallet" also! She is making me a "regular" wallet and zune cover, headband ect.


Here is a photo of mcgruff because he had a blast playing while I made the i pod cover! lol.
