A true 50% fire sale at a LQS helped me add the 6.75 yards, but I stuck to my purpose for them  and made  6 "posh pillowcases" in manly fabrics for my three sons, 2 for each. Below is pic of two sons' cases. The third already has his at his apartment.


I am forever indebted to You go Girl Blog for her wonderful tutorial for these. I added the crochet to my first two pillowcases, but left it off for the boys!


They are addicting and I love having nice fine cotton cases in custom colors. How posh is that! LOL

Texas Braid and Scrappy Bargello Workshop

I had a wonderful time at the two days of workshops in Orange county with Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.com   It was held at Sewing Party quilt shop which was darling and had nice large class room. They have all the modern brights and floral, polka dots, and on and on. I 'm glad to know it is up there!

I have lots of work to do now.

Below are my additions that were too hard to resist at my quilt class at Grand Country Quilters last week! Plus, not pictured, 3 1/4 yards of pretty turkey red solid for my class with Bonnie Hunter starting a king size Texas Braid. Lots of UFO's going but none quilted and bound yet!

ORCA BAY WEEK 7 & 8....FINISHED!!!!!!!!

Yee pee! Orca Bay is finished.  Near the end, I thought I would never finish connecting rows, and then the sashing and final border.  But, boy was it worth it.  What a wonderful quilt. I love it.

ORCA BAY WEEK 6

Finally finished with week 6! Yay! On to Week 7........

This step really took me awhile to get the 56 blocks together. They are so striking. 

 

Stash Report 2012 - Week 1

I'm going to try to start and finish Judy's Stash Report this year.

My stash rules - Fabric posted when purchased per receipt, and counted as used only when bound and finished. Fabric used has to be a semi estimate, cuz I will get bogged down otherwise, and since this is for fun, that's ok!
