scrappy trip along

I have joined the Scrappy Trip Along : )  I am using my Kaffee Fassett stash and throwing a solid into each block.  I think this is going to be a bright, happy quilt....don't you?

Here is a tutorial for the block, just in case you would like to join in on the fun!

Happy New Year

I haven't been around for a while, but I plan to get back to my blog on a regular basis this year : )  My sewing room is finally getting some attention, and I am making a few things that I will show you soon.  Moving to a new(old) house turned out to take more time than I expected.  And with Thanksgiving and Christmas to prepare for, I just decided not to put any pressure on myself to blog.  But I miss it, so here I am!!

I made a few quilted journals, but I am even out of the habit of taking pictures of my work : (
Here is one that I still have around to show you.

I see many more quilted journals in my future and I will explain how I made them and some great tutorials that are around for you to check out.   They are so easy to make and a great way to use orphan blocks and fabric scraps.   But until then....

show off friday~~~1600 quilt

Show Off Friday

I couldn't stand it any longer and I brought my sewing machine to my new house and decided

to make a 1600 or Jelly Roll Race quilt.  We have sold the house(Happy Dance) so we can begin 

moving to the new house in a couple of weeks.  I have gotten so much done....cleaning, donating,

organizing...so although I haven't been sewing or blogging I have been a busy bee : )

However, yesterday I couldn't stand it any longer, and I had fun sewing the jelly roll

strips together like I sew on a binding strip.

Here is the pile almost ready to begin the race....I mean quilt : ).  Have you made one of these?

How long did it take you to make the quilt?  I will time my sewing and let you

know how long it takes me to make my jelly roll quilt! 

Now it is your turn to link up something~~~~ what do you have for

little quilt monday~~~sewing room or studio?

Little Quilt Monday

I have furniture in my new sewing space.  Do I call it a sewing room or a 

sewing studio....what do you call your sewing space?

Hopefully, I will have my sewing machine and fabric here by the end of the week!

One table is for my sewing machine and the other will have my computer and TV.

I can't wait to get back to sewing and making little quilts : )

Now it is your turn to link up something to

Little Quilt Monday

1.  This link-up party is for any small project.  For example, mini quilts, doll quilts, baby quilts, place mats, mug rugs,

wall quilts, table runners, etc.

2.  They can be a WIP(work-in-progress) or finished.

3.  If it is something from the past there is no need to write a new blog post, just link the one that you have already written, and, please link back to my blog post.

4.   If you are interested, you can add your pictures to my flickr group here, or join my Facebook group here. 

Let's inspire each other!

show off friday~~~home

Show Off Friday

Here is a picture of the house that is going to be my new home.  We are busy getting

 it ready to move in.  The trees are bigger than shown in this picture that must have

been taken several years ago. 

It is an older neighborhood with lots of big trees.  I know I am going

to spend a lot of time taking walks and riding bikes : )

I will be working on setting up my sewing room this week.  Maybe

I will finally get in there and start a new project!
