Quilt Week

It seems like I blinked and it is already the SECOND week of January. How did that happen??? I have to confess and tell you that 2 of my 3 trees are still up. I know, I know...but I really love the light and sparkle on these long wintery nights.


I have been sewing like a maniac, trying to catch up on orders after not sewing at all during Christmas week.  I also totally cleaned out my sewing room. That was a BIG job, but I love all the extra space and being able to find everything without saying bad words :) I finished a quilt for the shop.  The Sweetest Thing.  Love it. I have been making bunting banners with it, and really wanted to add a coordinating quilt.  I just did a simple patchwork, creamy border, scrappy binding and crosshatch quilting.


I also added to my State Fair quilt top. These are such fun little blocks to make and I was happy to have a chance to make a few more blocks. I hope to make more blocks this weekend...in between taking down decorations and attacking dust bunnies!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

    Good for you cleaning out your sewing room! Mine could sure use some tidying. The fabric on the first quilt is scrumptious, and State Fair is looking good!
    I just took the twinkle lights off my mantle. I hated to see them go.

    Love, love, love your Sweetest Thing quilt! I saw the pic you posted on FB and was so excited, as I was given a whole bunch of Sweetest Thing fabric by my lovely sis for Christmas, and I can't wait to get started using it, but I've been trawling through my books and patterns trying to decide what to do. Thanks for the inspiration!
    Have a lovely weekend,
    xx
