Just stuff

I have not posted anything here is a long time. Have not done much quilting due to the fact I have been away a lot and that I lost "my" sewing room. I have used Daniel's room for my sewing room and since he moved home after graduation, I lost it for a while. I have finally set up something makeshift in the kitchen to work.

I have put together a table topper for a friend and I am finally binding the purple 9-patch. Will post a photo of the gift later as well as some neat fabric I got that Michelle really liked. Now to find a patter to use it in.

Southwest Stars May Block

I also put together the May Southwest Stars Block. This one gave me some trouble and I had to redo a couple of places. I feel like I need to rework it some more. This photo does not show the pink real well.

More Fabric

I had been wanting to do Block Central's 2003 Block of the Month so I purchased fabric for this also.

Quilt Shop Shopping

I was up to Milwaukee to visit my daughter. Son and Daughter hung out quite a bit. I did some shopping at quilt shops. I went to one in West Bend, Ye Ole Schoolhouse in Cedarburg, Fabric Fusion in Deerfeild and another one in Thiensville. Here are some photos of most of my purchases.

I fell in love with this fabric and decided to do another Nine Patch Nirvana from Block Central

I am doing one in browns, Cinnamon Teen, and the pattern called for 12 brown fabrics, 4 each of dark, medium and light. I decided to go with the three basic colors.

There is a Debbie Mumm Anniversary Block of the Month that is colorful and I thought I would make it also and found these colors for it.
