Quilts

So, if you've been reading my blog for awhile, you'd understand that I now have a passion for sewing.  I love it!  I love love love looking at quilting blogs - love the tutorials, love the quilts, love the colors, love the fabrics.  I love modabakeshop.com because I love to print off the tutorials I think I'd make.  If you look at my old blog (the one that is still private), I have all of my blogs that I stalk on there.  And I just added a TON of quilting blogs there.  That is what I do when I have a few minutes.  Stalk and dream.

My problem is that I just don't have enough money or time to make the quilts I want.  Good quality fabric can be expensive!  Unless you buy the Christmas discounted fabric - which I did but now don't want to use the material because they are too cute to use - I'm looking at money I just don't have for fabric.

So I continue to dream.  And make a list of those people I want to make quilts for.  And keep visiting the fabric shops to drool over the material.

However, I did join a quilt block thingy.  For $4 a month, I get material to make four 10 inch blocks, which are then sewn together.  At the end of December, I'll have a twin size quilt top - unless I pay $3 per 10 inch block and make enough for a queen size top (which is what I'm going to do, I think).  Anyway, here is my first set of blocks. I love the colors (I'm wayyyyy into red, white and blue fabrics).

I can't wait to finish it!  Should have known - I am an impatient person sho doesn't like to wait!  Now I can't finish this until the end of the year!  But I'm way excited for it.


(Oh, I just saw the hand print on the fridge!  The draw back to stainless steel appliances:  fingerprints, handprints, smudge marks.  That drives Tim and I crazy!  Especially Tim - he'll clean it daily if he has to!)
