ALQS2

I am taking part in Another Little Quilt Swap, and I was way excited to get the info for my partner. I've been really debating on what to do, and have landed on these fabrics...the top one is a thrifted apron, a few are from Joann's, and several are from Moda's Wee Play line. Luckily, I will have plenty to make myself something afterward, because I am really liking these colors...

A Gift for my Sis...

So even though I never had a sister growing up, when my brother got married I FINALLY got one. And, as fate would have it, she's trying to figure out this sewing thing at the same time I am.

I just sent her this "thread catcher" for her birthday which was a modified version of this pattern. It was made mostly out of fabric I had on hand...except for the large thread pocket which was made from a tote bag I found at a thrift store. I had a hard time letting go of it, and want to make one for myself now. Here, it is modeled by my girl...

Happy Birthday, Wendy! I'm so thankful for my fun sister!

Vintage Sheet Quilt

Finally this week I was able to turn some of those thrift store sheets into a quilt top. It was an easy project after all those angles in my first two quilts. I can't decide what to do with this one after it's finished...hmm...

Here are the strips in progress...

And a close-up of some of the fabrics. Half came from thrifted sheets and half were new fabrics from my stash...
