Winnings from Blogger's Quilt Festival

Yesterday, the postman brought me my wonderful prize from Canton Village Quilt Works.  The prize was one of those offered during the recent Blogger''s Quilt Festival.  So not only did I get to see hundreds of beautiful quilts (mind you, I'm still clicking on them to read the stories) but I got these:

12 Kaffe Fassette 1/4 yards.  I remember a tea cup quilt of his made with similar fabrics - I'm thinking of doing that with these, but that only requires like a 6 inch square.  Any suggestions for the rest of those 1/4 yards?  I recommend you consider entering her spring festival.  It is so much fun and a wonderful way to go to a quilt show.

Design Wall Monday 11/22

In an attempt to lessen stress of a new baby in the family, I took a few minutes for quilt therapy and you know, it worked!  I read about quilt therapy I  believe on a post at Stash Manicure. So I actually have something on my wall after a full week of no quilting, piecing, etc.  These are blocks called Anita's Arrowhead and I saw them in an article in the latest Quiltmaker.  They are from Ms Solomon's new book called Rotary Cutting Revolution.  I'm going to buy it as soon as I can.  These were made from 2 squares, 3 cuts and I get this amazing large block.  She made her's from 8 1/2" squares. I made mine from 10" squares in case I buy a layer cake and they make up into finished 11 1/2" squares, so I would have a big quilt in no time.   They sew up in a snap!  What I'll do with these, I don't know yet, but I can see making seven more from my stash and making another preemie quilt.

Stash report 11/21 and Harvest

Well no quilting done this week - everything was Alan Vincent Stewart  - LOL.  He is so tiny!  At four pounds he is just like a little doll.  But doing well and eating well. Alleluia!


So none in and none out - and that's my stash report for this week.


Now here is my harvest.  While it is raining now - has been for the last 24 hours on and off - I did go out to our two tomato plants and plucked all the red fruit for eating just before it began to rain.  Yumm!  They are so tasty.  New plant doing nicely but no fruit yet, just flowers.

I'm saving most for Thanksgiving Day salad.
