Week 9

On time this week. YAY! It's the little things.

Weeks 7 & 8

I've been extra busy recently so I missed last week. Never fear though, I have two flowers for you this week!


@Christy, I'll get around to taking a photo of them all together one of these days.

Week 6

Week 5

Birthday Treats

One of the coolest things about going to Quilt Camp on your birthday is receiving all kinds of cool gifts from fellow quilters. I've attended the Cabin Fever Quilt Camp several years in a row and it almost always falls during my birthday. Some of the women there have learned of this and they bring me treats. I love treats!

This first picture is actually of fabric that I got for Christmas from my friend, Christy. It's so beautiful that I had to include it!


For my birthday, Christy made me this pincusion and gave me more fabric.




I received this from the Director for the Quilt Camp.


And this is from Aunt Cheryl and her friend, Pam. They drive 6 hours to attend quilt camp. That's dedication!


I also received a jelly roll of Moda's oh so pretty Butterfly Fling fabric and during camp, I cut into to complete a beautiful border for a quilt that I've yet to post about. It's too bad I didn't get a photo but even if I haad, the photo wouldn't have done it justice.

Week 4

Stringy Variation

I love, love, love this quilt. I came to me in November when I was thinking about what I could do with all the strips I saved. I've been saving them for awhile. Here's one previous reference about them.

Anyway, I decided to sort them by color and immediately starting sewing them together. When I was away at Quilt Camp this past weekend, I put the half blocks together and started sewing and trimming and sewing some more. I'll admit I was a bit disappointed that all that sewing in November only amounted to a small wall hanging. But it's gorgeous and I know exactly what I'm going to do with it. I also know that I must make another one - one that's big enough for my bed!

This quilt measures 45X36 and gives me my first 3,240 points for the 2011 Stashbusting Contest.
