New Project

A while back I won this great pattern from Mrs. Moen.  I was thrilled as I had drooled over this particular quilt each and every time it appeared on her blog!


Yesterday, I finally found some time to pull it out and get to work.  Nina Lise's directions were clear, precise and very easy to follow....now if I could only learn to quilt like her ;-)  This quilt is also a great scrap buster project.  I had a good time going through my mountain pile of scraps and picking "dresses" to make.  This one is ready to be quilted.  I can tell right now that I'll be making more of these quilts.  Thank you so much Nina Lise!


Along with the dress quilt ready to be quilted, I have four bigger quilts that need to be basted and then quilted.  With my studio a mess (again), I am not in the mood not able to concentrate on such a big task.

My husband and I learned a long time ago that home improvement projects and we do not mix.  For the sake of our relationship and sanity {grins}, I am waiting for our handyman friend to assemble my bookcases.  However, in the meantime, I was able to hang my magnetic board from Ikea all by myself ;-)  Cool, huh?

I still have a sick child at home...probably will be making another trip to the doctor...poor guy...not the best start of his senior year.

Have an amazing day!!!

  4. how lovely!!! do you cut the dresses out individually - or are they done with something like a go cutter?? do you put fusible web on the backs to stiffen them up?

    look forward to seeing the finished product!!

  5. I have 4 of those magnetic boards in my sewing room. They are FANTASTIC! I hope you get your bookcases up soon and that your son feels better quickly.
