Quilter's Block???

I think for the past month I've had quilter's block. Ever have that? Just the thought of sitting at my sewing machine was impossible. Of course, the depression does not help either, but sewing is just the one thing that I love and takes my mind off of things. Even my husband commented on the fact and said, "I know you're really feeling down if you aren't sewing." So in the last few days even feeling sickly (something is going around) I've managed to finish my Old Virginia Calicos topper and even craft these LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH hearts out of some of the scraps and they are now hanging over my double fireplace and they look so cute. Now I just have to quilt and bind the topper, hmmmmm....

Ohio Stars!!

Just a quick post to show my Random Ohio Stars project that I am doing by hand. This is the layout so far and hopefully I will be able to get it put together and quilted before next Winter. (He He!)

Another Quilt Out The Door!!!!

Winter is my favorite time to quilt. Mainly because I can lay the quilt across me and admire while I am quilting and not get too hot. This is the Smokey Mountain Stretched Stars from Bonnie's Quiltville that I finished during the summer. I finally got it quilted and it is going to my Sister-in-law, Chante'. I hope she likes it.

Even though I always use recycled shirts and jeans for these projects I have to use the white cotton backing, it's my favorite, it just looks so crisp next to all the plaid!!!


Star cornerstones are my favorite!

Folded, ready to roll and another finish YAY!!!!

2nd Set Of Mystery Blocks!!!

Yes, they are very similar to the first set of blocks but there is no brown and no orange in this set at all. I think I like these best. I will set these together for the original pattern that Bonnie gave and the first set I will set separately on point to make two quilts. I already have 3 sets of borders cut out. I may have to make the ones that I set on point a little larger. When I get them done I will post.
