A birthday gift for a dear friend who helped me through the darkest time of my life. He will get a bigger one in the near future!! I sure love these fabrics!!! All from charm squares. I found a new to me fabric store in a near by town. Ye Olde Schoolhouse is located about half an hour from me.
Christine, from A Simple Quilter lives nearby and took me for the day. It was quite fun and John gave me some cash to spend....which I DID.
Enough fabric for a nice size quilt for our livingroom. I am excited to start it....AFTER the one in the hoop, and then Mason's quilt gets done. I am happy to get some quilting mojo back. I lost it for quite a while there. Hopefully, blogging will inspire me to pic up that needle more. There is also a Friday hand stitching group that meets at the quilt shop ALL DAY LONG....you can go for as long or as short a time as you wish. I plan to do some of those Fridays. Chatting with other quilters and hand quilting....what could be nicer?
It is very pretty...

Thank you....It is Civil War repos. You can't go wrong with repos!
DeleteCute little quilt shop! And I LOVE that you're quilting again!! I've got a little song echoing in my brain, sung to the tune of "My Boyfriend's Back"....."Her mojo's back, and there's gonna be some quilting, doo lang doo lang, her mojo's back!" I think I need more caffeine.
ReplyDeleteNow I am not even going to tell you what I was thinking with that tune going through your head!!! You can only imagine!!
DeleteLove those colors in the quilt. You lucky girl, having a nice quilt shop near by. I have not done much quilting since last August. Lot has gone on around here and I just have not been in the mood. I finally took my Double Delight (One of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts.) out of the hoop and put it up. I have been in a crocheting and knitting mood. Yes, I have taught myself how to knit through online videos. (grin) So proud of myself. Of course all I have knitted are dish cloths and scarves, but I am getting experience and loving it. Glad to see you back to quilting. Love you, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteIt took forever for me to want to quilt, Winona. I hope you blog again soon!!! I have missed you.
DeleteIt is nice to see you blogging and quilting again. You do have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam.....I think they are pretty special!
DeleteQuilting with friends .... it is a beautiful thing to do!
