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!

Ugly Fabric Challenge project and summer yummies
Here are some shots of my Ugly Fabric Challenge project. The pattern is from the Thimbleberry guide for Weekend Quilters. I didn't win, but I did have a great time and I was awed by the projects the ladies came up with. Congrats to the winners!!!
Hannah and I went and picked our strawberries on Wed morning. Perfect day for it..sunny but cool. Glad we went then as the season is just about done. We picked 8 quarts:
From that we got 20 1/2 pints of jam ( I dropped one and they ate 2 already!):
We also have 3 quarts frozen now and ate 1 quart in strawberry shortcakes. THIS is waht summer is about!!!

Yum, Yum. Those strawberries look good. I, too, enjoyed the challenge. Thanks for hosting it and making us stretch ourselves outside the box.
