What Now!?

If you get the chance go over to my friends blog http://fabricsnquilts.blogspot.com/ She has been working on a quilt to donate to her local American Legion as a fund raiser. She has outdone herself.
I am trying to decide what I was going to do with the crumb blocks. I think I will sash them like this. Just a small amount of black and white for a place to rest your eyes. I organized my sewing Cave and came across a couple of fabrics I forgot I had in the stash. This one below is me in a nut shell. I love the colors and the differnt prints and textures.

I came across this Fat Quarter I bought out of one of those $.99 FQ sale bins. At the time I could not really see the print because it was rolled up. Once I got home and opened it up .... it was kinda wierd.

A lady in different outfits and animals. Some with halos and wings and also the same animal with out. Then I even spotted the lady with wings and halo. hmm

I finally read the title of the fabric on the Salvage "Old Lady and the Fly" Kinda a grim print don't you think lol A lady and dead angel animals. lol Don't know what I would ever use this for.

Mom's weekend Friday night and a Quilt show!

Go west young women go west! And a little bit or rather quite a bit North! lol Early Friday morning Dear Daughter Missy and I hit the road for Moscow Idaho! Where Dh booked us into what we told him to a "cheaper motel" But he did not need to actually look for "hole in the wall" lol The sheets and shower curtain were tie dyed. lol Well it was at least clean. No coffee maker, blow drier, shampoo, but a place to lay my head.

For this evenings entertainment Dd is making some kind of fancy dancy drink for us with cherry vodka and coconut run. hmmm? I even owned a bar (beer and wine) and grill and have never been a big drinker or bar person since I went to college here. oh no! Tonight is the big party night. I'm in the room to take a nap while the kids are frisbee golfing.

We went to one of my son's friends house for breakfast. The roommates were supposed to cook belgian waffles and stuff. Their moms came too. None of us moms would cook. So everyone had to get out of bed. My son who did not even live there did the cooking. lol and no waffles oh well. We had a lot of laughs telling stories about our boys.

At least there was Bacon Missy's favorite!

Last night we played trivia pursuit and drank a little. lol my son is the one with the beard behind me. Some drank more than others.

My two kids in the middle. Little lady on the left is another mom I see every year.

I did go to a quilt show today and picked up a few fat quarters. Fat Quarters don't count against the No Fabric Buying Resolution. lol

I took some pictures of some quilts and will put more on in other posts. This quilt is the only one that had any liberated type quilting.

I liked this one because of the scrappy pieced border.

It had a little bit of everything else too and love the black and white contrast.

I loved these triangles and want to make one like this.

Well I will get back on with further posts if possible. I need to take a nap so I can survive the night.

Organizeing sewing Cave

OMG! This is ridiculus! I had NO idea! Two days ago I started organizeing my fabric stash and had no clue what I had. This picture is the top drawer only fat quarters. I still have more fabric to fold and scraps to organize. Two large bins.

Here are more fabrics folded that need a drawer.

Six drawers full and I need to go get another one of these three drawer units. I had fabric stashed in bags and bins all over. I CAN not buy any more fabric! Only problem is most of my stash is one yard cuts or smaller so I do need larger pieces for backing. hmmm. I do have a couple of bolts of fabric in the other room but it is too nice to use as backing.

I haven't organized by color yet. I'm just lucky to get everything together in one place. lol I now am going to take a pledge to make items only useing scraps and crumbs like Bonnie from http://www.quiltville.com/
