STARS..DONE!

STAR SPLITTER TOP DONE!

OK.  I am not touching this quilt anymore.... If anyone hears me say, 

"I'm just going to add this one more thing," STOP ME!

The length was long enough already, I needed it to be wider, 

so I added borders and all the leftover half square triangles I had!

Right down to the last 6 I had cut out originally!  pretty good huh!

Of Course my backing was to narrow, after my adjustments, but luckily I had some extra

half yard cuts of this backing fabric... I am obsessed with Jennifer Paganelli prints... 

You have no idea how many cubbies I have just of her prints... or how many more I just bought!

I have 6 yards cuts of every color of this print...  Isn't it lovely!

Gotta get my iron out.. and get this baby pieced and basted...

I had intended to do this last night, but Boo insisted I watch the America's Got Talent finale...

She was nearly in tears when the 10 year old girl did not win... 

How sweet is that?  Some voice on that girl!

Anyway.

We can get just about anything for fabrics in my neighborhood.

yesterday I went to the Leather shop...

We have three leather chairs, and TWO of them got damaged, (see the splice in the seat?)

while the construction was going on this summer....

Serious bummer...  This is a huge pieces of leather I found to replace the leather on mine...

Normally I wouldn't, but they are beautiful chairs, and for the price of one of these pieces of leather, I am hoping I can just replace the seats of the chairs... the one on the left is closest... 

Interesting place though. Funny what You can find in my hood.

Here's a OLD picture of my living room.. I couldn't find a empty picture.... 

but  you can see the White radiator covers behind everyone, 

and the empty TV corner under the white painting...

Here it is now!  See the raspberry ice on the walls?  Subtle huh?

 It warms up the room just a bit, I just love it. (the one thing i was most worried about!, PHEEW!)

Now, hopefully all my furniture fabrics make sense!  Remember when I was recovering them, an the colors seemed all over the place?  I think it all worked out well...

I just need my coffee table put back in, but I need 4 people to come move it!

for now it sits behind my couch! Fat lotta good it does there! ;-)

tomorrow, a few pics of my kitchen area...

Have a super day!
