Getting there!
Today's been a good day at the sewing machine. I've gotten all the rows of the memory quilt sewn together. Now for a good press and add the borders. These Stonehendge Fabrics from Northcott are working great for this quilt. Will get the borders on tomorrow, then off to the longarm quilter for a very professional quilt job.
Hope this couple like the quilt as much as I do. Chat again soon.

I'm Back!!!
This has been a very busy year for me but I'm back and I hope to keep my blog up to date. At present I'm working on a Memory Quilt. This is for a young couple who were married and had their guests sign a block. I had to design a quilt with 60 blocks large enough for a small message and signature. It's really looking great. Will post pictures soon. I'm using my Go! cutter for the first time and I think it's going to be a great tool. I'm looking forward to using it again soon.
Have a great summer and keep on quilting!

It's Far Too Late
Yes, it's far too late to be up blogging. It's 12:05 a.m. and I just finished cutting kits for a quilted placemat class I'm teaching tomorrow. They're really cute and will look good at Christmas.
Night All!
This is a "Little Bits" pattern by Cindi Edgerton. I didn't put the rick rac in but on another set I made, I did some decorative stitches in metallic gold - turned out great!

Go! Cutter
I am so glad to see Lavender Ridge is going to have a Go! draw. I've gotten my cutter but haven't had time to try it yet. I'm going to make a Christmas list that includes many of the dies as I have lots of ideas I'd like to try. I'm also going to look for other bloggers who like the Go! cutter - it's a whole new world out there! Go to lavenderridge.blogspot.com to enter the draw.
So, keep on quilting! Chat again soon.

Christmas Table Topper
Hi everyone. A quick update. Here is my latest creation. It's a great Christmas Table Topper quilted with metallic gold thread. I made one of these from Autumn fabrics also and sold out all the kits I had. I've just had to order a second lot of fabrics for the Christmas version. It was a great project to practice mitered borders. Better go now - have lots of projects on my list.

Home Again
Well, here I am, home again. We had a wonderful holiday but now back at it. We went to some wonderful quilt shops so my stash is building and building. I have to mention one of those shops - it's called The Door Mouse in Bettsville, Ohio - can you imagine - over 15,000 bolts of fabric. Talk about kids in a candy shop - it was great! If you're ever in the area, make sure you visit this store. Better go now - have some cutting to do.
