Saturday Sampler blocks

All three sets, purple, taupe, and batik.
I've decided to quilt all three in sections. 
Two will be machine-quilted, and the taupe one will be hand-quilted - maybe.

Crazy quilt progress

I sewed the parts together last night and now just have to finish some bits and sew on a fat velveteen border in brown or burgundy.

Top finished!















       I managed, on the May Saturday sew-day, to get my "feedsack squares" quilt top finished.

I am now debating how it will be quilted.

Such wonderful color!!

Books Ordered!!!




Funtime with 30's things

I got 2 more blocks sewn up for my Hard Times, Splendid Quilts top.  The pictures do not in the least convey how very nice they really look - it is a lighting issue. 

The pink one is pretty decent but the "blue" one isn't at all showing how nice the fabrics are.

I'll be re-taking these photos's.




Here though is a picture of my greatly enlarged 30's fabric stash which doesn't even have a home yet.   Ain't they DELICIOUS!!!

Yes, another project underway!

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time really.   I've enlarged the size of the squares from the original pattern, mine are 5".   Just last night I got 2 more rows sewn together.

And here is where I am putting the pieces together.

Craft Room Windowsill blooms


The African violets in my craft room are blooming, only 2 of the 3 but I love it when they do!
