In the Works

Technically, this is NOT a new project. The fabrics were purchased and the quilt pattern was decided on BEFORE my post last Monday. I blogged about the fabrics in this post here.

This is the first block for my son's graduation/going to college quilt. Graduation is this Friday and I have a very short 2 1/2 months before Nick leaves my nest, hopefully with a completed quilt packed in his belongings.

Hmmm...if I don't finish the quilt in time, will he stick around at home...?

Remember

As you spend time during this long holiday weekend enjoying activities with family and friends, please take a little time to remember those who never came home...

An Affair That Didn't Last

Forget what I said here.

I have contacted customer service and will let you know the outcome...

Carol Taylor -- Quilt Artist Extraodinaire!

My guild had a very special visitor last week -- Quilt artist Carol Taylor.

What a delightful evening filled with quilters' eye candy!

These are just some of the quilts that she brought with her to show us in person. Gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous!

Carol was very gracious and gave us permission to take photos. Look for more in upcoming posts.

For The Moms Out There

I came across this on another blog....

If you grew up in the 70s like I did, you'll recognize the melody.

Repeat After Me

Perhaps if I write it another 90 times it will sink in...

Do The Wave

Continuing in my mission to make charity quilts for teenagers (see my blog post here), I've made this New Wave quilt from a free pattern found at Oh Fransson! I just made it a bit longer to fit the long legs of a teenage boy. I love the patterns that Elizabeth shares and hope to try a few more. You can see a previous quilt of mine from another one of her patterns here.

This one is made from fabrics that were donated to my quild and some that were in my own stash. Quilted with just a meander on my HQ16. I think the cars/surfboards/flames/Star Wars/ etc fabrics will put a smile on a hurting teenage boy's face somewhere. This one will be delivered to the local Project Linus coordinator at my guild meeting tonight.
