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!

Quiltalong part 2
Well, Shellie came over and we got a LOT of work done despite our chatting, snacking and a little imbibing!!
My camera died so I didn't get a picture of the pillowcases we both made to donate. Sigh....next time!
I did get a set of 10 Christmas tree napkins made, thanks to Joanna!!!
My friend, Patrice, had gifted me, about a year ago, a block of the month pattern and material that she had started. I decided to dig that out and work on that as the colors would be perfect for a Wounded Warriors quilt. She had 6 blocks done and I made 2 more. Now, just 4 more to go then to get it set and finished!
Shellie made a few more blocks to add to some she already had and got this top all together!!
So, all in all, it was the perfect day! We got a lot accomplished, but better than that, we got to spend time with each other and we haven't gotten to do that in AGES!
Hope everyone else had a great weekend! Thanks SO MUCH to our hostess, Hazel. Without you, none of this would have happened!!!
