NEW TWITTER ACCOUNT

Well...I've just signed up for Twitter.  Am I crazy?  I can hardly keep up with 'FaceBook' and my 'Blog'.  But they say that you can set it up so that you can do one entry and it will go to both sites (Twitter and FaceBook).  I have yet to figure that out. If you look to the top right of this blog, you will see me Twitter.

This past week I finally quilted my Buggy Barn Witches quilt (after it sat on a hanger for a year!) using Anne Brights 'Charlottes Web' design.  I have to bind it still. 

And Judy and I are making a Table Topper Sampler for Fall. It will have stitchery (done by Judy), needle turn applique, raw edge applique and blanket stitching.  We will quilt through it all as a sample of what it looks like.

I also finished blanket stitching around my quilt called 'Sanctuary' from Moda.  I bought the kit about 5 years ago, my friend Kari Ramsay of Fresh Cut Quilts pieced it for me and left the Blanket Stitching for me to do (It took a week for me to finish it!).  Thanks Kari!!  I'm going to custom quilt it this weekend...should be fun :-). 

FREDA'S FLOWERS QUILT by Freda's Hive

I have made so many friends though quilting.  One of them is Nannette Merrill of 'Freda's Hive.'  I covet most of the quilts that I quilt for her, but about a month ago I did one called 'Freda's Flowers Quilt' that I fell in love with.  I called her about 9:30 one evening while I was quilting it to express my utter envy of this quilt and to beg her to make me one (I don't make quilts anymore that take more than 5 hours to piece).  She told me that she needed to make another quilt using a 'Jelly Roll' for her pattern instructions and that she would make that one for me. She used '1933 Chloe's Closet from Moda for the 1930's prints and her border fabric was from 'Happy Trails.' These fabrics were bought from Material Girls in South Jordan, Utah. The rest of the fabric came from her stash. I have been on Cloud-Nine waiting for it and she gave it to me finished just yesterday.  (I did get it back so I could quilt it.  I used Anne Brights 'Geneleness' for the border and 'Gentleness e2e' for the edge to edge on the inside of the quilt.
