This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

A great block and new swap!!
Isn't this block just too cute?? I made it as a trial one for a new swap that Marie Bostwick is sponsoring. Marie is the bestselling author of the Cobbled Court novels including A Single Thread and A Thread of Truth. She not only writes about quilters, she IS a quilter! We had a great time with a Christmas block swap that she sponsored so we are doing one for February for Women's Heart Health month. We are using a pattern inspired by her book, A Single Thread, called Broken Hearts Mending. We get to choose whatever colors we want to make for the hearts and are using white as the background. Interested in joining us? Just click on Marie's name or on her link on the left side of the page. Then register at the site and go to her forums, find the quilting one, and you will see the thread to sign up. Even if you are not interested in the swap right now, come on over to the site to chat with us on the forum or to check out her books and quilt pattern!!
