This little quilt above is from the AAQI booth... It was Made by Yumi Tsuruta from Japan... Loved the fabrics, the hand quilting... and I'm a bit obsessed with Hawaiian style blocks these days... Every year I make a bunch of AAQI, and I always bring one home as well... such a good cause, and fun to make these morsels! My 15 Minutes group made a bunch and they all sold at Houston.
You can make these all year long, so please join in!
Here's some of my goodies I picked up in Houston... BEADS!!! yeah! Gotta keep trying new things!!
And some ink! ooh, I want to play! paint up and print some fabric...
Maybe I should clean my mess up here first!
National Corduroy Day is coming, are you ready?
Stop by Nifty's on Friday to see a bunch of corduroy goodness!
I have to get my binding on this quilt. but someone seems to have made it home, and is down for a long nap... LOL!
You know what they say, ''let sleeping dogs lie!''
Nothing new going on here, I'm finishing up my R & W big quilt for my bed and am binding a project started a few years ago. Need to get a few more things out of the way before the new year, because Jan is going to be the beginning of lots of new for me! Love your cord print.
ReplyDeleteI really like Hawaiian quilt blocks. I recently finished up a 20" x 20" block I started when I lived in Hawaii. I think I would like to make another one someday, but not too soon. Looks like you have loads of fun new stuff to play with.
ReplyDeleteOkay you have to check out these paper cuttings and see what Jill is up too over at

Your corduroy quilt looks very cozy. No wonder the little one won't let it go. Can't wait to see it on the big day!

Love the little Hawaiian block... hmmm, now I'm thinking about mini-quilts. Not starting anything new around here just yet, until a certain jacket project is done.
