this, that, and the other...thing

 

Ragamuffin has been quilted!

Linda from cottage garden quilts quilted this for me... I had no idea what to do to this, 

so I just did an all over pattern of feathers... I figured that to be the best... 

I still can't believe how darn big this quilt is...

Do you see that it hangs to the floor on all sides of my KING size bed....

My "Everything but the kitchen sink" quilt was just a a little shy of king... 

I think I over compensated!

LOL!

 My signature blocks are piling up! THANK YOU!!!!
I will collect them until June 1st...

I need to thank...

Chris H, Rachael S, Michele F, MaryBeth M, 

Stephine S, Bonnie B, and Kathleen Robertson

Kathleen, can you send me your mailing address please?  

I can't get your email to go through...

I'm saving all those sweet notes that came with the blocks and all your addresses, 

to keep with the quilt.  

Just trying to help out the quilt historians, years down the road... ;-)

Thank you for your sweet notes too! ;-)

 Speaking of SWEET. I bought up as much of Jay McCarroll's fabrics as I could lately... 

I am LOVING every single piece of his Habitat collection....
I've used it in three different projects this week, and it's about as good as chocolate... SWOON!

 Dots and scissors... I rcvd some scissors in our one block over quilt bee... I had to have some...

Aren't they sweet? And the dot's well, that's pretty self explanatory.... 

Dots are fabulous, No matter what...

 For my MOD guild this month our challenge was to re work an old block.... 

Keep one as it was, and cut up the other....

 See, Jay's fabrics fell into play here too.... makes the whole block...

I didn't push myself to much on reworking the block... 

I just thought, itty bitty star, 

big fabulous print, stepped it into the 21st century....  I like!

At market, I came across Serendipity Studios... 

I usually don't buy clothes patterns anymore,

But i saw this pattern, and though, hey, that just might be cute in the 

yardage I have been saving for a summer dress....

 While in Salt lake city, I took off to do some vintage shopping.  I hit all the funky antique stores downtown.  I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the mountains were all around the city with snow on them, and I loved all the big murals downtown... very artist friendly!

I even came home with a few vintage goodies... couple dresses, some aprons

and a funky soap box...

In case I need help getting on my own...(soap box) LOL!
