Nantucket , Binding & Hot Air Balloon

It has been a fun week ! My  Nantucket quilt kit I ordered  arrived and just look at all of these yummy Midwinter Reds fabrics !  I  have started cutting my fabrics AND

All of my fabric is cut for the 9 center stars and now I am cutting all of my background fabrics

                          I also finished sewing  the binding on my A Day In Giverny Quilt

AND.........  I have my binding on Willow Weave   all machine sewn on and ready to hand sew

My hubby &  2 daughters  had  a birthday party for me Saturday .   So much fun with all my family & friends .  My actual b-day is not till Friday the 15th so I am not 60 yet.

A group of them went in together and surprised me with a gift of riding in a Hot Air  Balloon in Napa  !  How Exciting !

Willow Weave is home

Look what arrived in my mailbox !           WILLOW WEAVE !

 I made this quilt with a jelly roll of  Dancing in the Rain fabric and the quilt was a  jelly roll sew along online with Doreen Aunt Reen's Place .

                            Mary QUILT HOLLOW quilted a paisley quilt pattern  &   I love it !
She always does  amazing quilting for me and always knows just the perfect quilting pattern to use on my quilts.

                                    The fabric backing is also from Dancing in the Rain

                                       I can not wait to start binding this quilt

Happy Monday

Organizing fabric in my Sewing Room

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE !


 I have been going thru my stash and organizing my sewing room this week and thought I would share with you what I have accomplished so far.

This is a picture of the right side of my closet .  Starting with the top shelf the fabric basket has my French General  fabric in it , the blue zipper bags in the center has all of my civil war fabric and the white wicker basket has FQ'S

Second shelf 1 yard or more of fabric has been folded  on comic books boards that I had seen on Nicole's blog.     More about that in a minute :-D

3rd and 4th shelf are quilt projects

These comic book boards are the BEST !  I bought them on Amazon .  They come in a bundle of 100 .  Now I can look at my fabric at a glance . No more stacked fabrics !  When ever I needed a piece of fabric from the stacks I had the whole pile would come tumbling down.  My shelves are deep so I kind of made a U shape lining up the fabric.  The fabric on the right that is stacked is fabric backings .

This cupboard is just over my sewing machine area and these are my precuts

I have more fabric to organize but it sure feels good to have most of it done :-D

Back from a few days of beach camping

Got home yesterday from a dew days of camping on the beach at WRIGHTS BEACH BODEGA BAY on the Sonoma coast and this was our view from our campsite

That is our tent trailer and teal color truck we are camped right next to the beach

hubby found this live starfish while walking the beach

WHAT A VIEW !

Nothing more fun then seeing what you can find on the beach
