garage sale?????

my sister went to a garage sale and i couldn't believe her finds. you could buy fabric by the pound.

not just cheap fabric but- moda, amy butler and other kinds. i got yardage of amy butlers charm line. it's very pretty. what was fun is my sister picked it out. so it's fun to work with stuff someone else picks out.

this is a bunch of scraps she got for free!! i had a LOT of fun sorting them. plus my sister called to tell me that my name was chosen in the drawing to win the extra fabric that didn't sell. i'm going to be getting what they thought would be 45 yards of fabric. can you believe it???? i will show it to you when i get it. the house is coming along nicely and we are off again for a relaxing few days!!!!! i'm done with my painting now so i feel like i will be able to soak up the sun and enjoy family!!:) hope you are having a FANTASIC day!!!

oliver's quilt

i just finished my other nephews quilt. i quite like it!!! i had stamp fabric that was the reason for this quilt.

the backing i used was something my mom gave me that my sister like so that worked out nicely. it's a black and blue ticking.

just used a solid blue for the binding and washed it up and will give it to him this week.

i don't know if you can tell the color of this wall but this is going to be my sewing room in my new house. it's called rainwater. (martha stewart) i LOVE it!!!!!! very soothing. our house is coming along nicely. all the painting that i can do for now is done!! it feels GOOD!!! we leave for ohio on friday and i CAN'T WAIT!!!! fabric shack here i come!!! i won't have to think about the house for two weeks!!! :) i just finished my second quilt to bind in the car. a queen size and twin size. one is my son's and one is a wedding gift for when i get back. lots going on!! it's all good. hope you are doing well!!:)

off and running

june started with a bang!! we are getting a house ready to move into. this is major work. the house needs LOTS of tlc!!!! so in this post there are pictures of my torn up house and quilts. :) i finished 5 this month but don't have all of them shown. in between painting ceilings, getting walls ready to paint and then painting and then mudding other walls and prepping them i did enjoy some quilting. that's only the stuff i can do too! these pictures show you only what is being torn down/apart and then put back together again. :) when things start to get more done i'll show a few more updates. it's been awhile so i hope everyone is enjoying their summer and all is well. new quilting room. i got two more feet added to it so it's going to be a little bigger.
