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!

Bricks and Stepping Stones
Bricks and Stepping Stones top is all finished. This will be going to an auction for a fundraiser for a Humane Society in Alabama..if my friend wants it. If she doesn't, it will go to Mercy House homeless shelter. I am SO making another one for me. I do love this pattern and it will be hard to give up, but both are great causes. I don't NEED another quilt here..I just WANT it lolol.
It is a rainy, blustery day here with winds going up to 50 mph. A good day to stay inside! I have a chicken roasting, most of my housework done for the day, and this top completed. I am taking Bonnie's advice and just relaxing tonight with hub. We will pop Northern Exposure into the dvd player and just chill. I confess that knowing me I will probably do some handquilting while watching, but at least I will be chilling! lol
Depending on the day, I am hoping to finish quilting a Mercy House quilt tomorrow. That's the plan anywho..lets see if it really works out! Hope everyone is dry, warm and safe this weekend!!

ReplyDeleteIt turned out so nice - good job. I made several and they also, turned out good! I quilted mine (DSM) with an Innies and Outies that look like topographical map, ala PatsyThompsonDesigns.com. It made a great male-type quit! What a great quilt you have! 8-))
