I am sad

I was prepping templates and fabric for the rest of the Baltimore Blue blocks cause I had a dream a few nights ago that I didn't have enough fabric. Well the dream was right. I went to buy more fabric this morning and guess what? They don't have it anymore ! So since it is the greens, I bought what hopefully is enough to do the whole quilt, and I will remove the pieces on the first three blocks that are finished and put the new greens on. They are in the dryer right now. So I am off to remove the other pieces. Sigh. Such is the life of a quilter.

Another new project

Well as of right this moment I have 4 quilts going and 2 knitting projects. I know I am a glutton for punishment. But by having so many different things going I don't get bored. Right now I am hand appliquing three projects.

The baltimore blue
The hawaiian
and a block of the month from my local quilt shop called Christmas Windows

And I am machine appliquing a pattern called A Summer Garden

If Kaci comes by today I will have her take pictures for me of the completed Summer Garden blocks for you to see. And once the first block of Christmas Windows is completed (either today or tomorrow) I will post a picture of that for you also.

Happy quilting!

P.S. If you have a quilting blog or webshots, leave me the address I would love to see them.

My very first quilt!


Sorry I can't make the picture bigger or clearer. This quilt is for my youngest daughter Kaci. I started it many years ago and worked on it for quite a while. We found a kit of precut triangles that she liked the colors but not the pattern they had it in. Was sorta supposed to be a pinwheel. So I sewed all the triangles together and then made a kinda around the world, though at the time I had no clue that was what it was called lol. There are about 400 squares in this quilt made up of triangles. I hand quilted hearts in each of those blocks. It seemed like it took forever lol. I learned alot from doing this quilt though. And she really likes it so it was worth all the problems of putting those triangles together.

Just remember if my first quilt could be made from all triangles, you can do anything if you try !
