It is Thanksgiving week in the USA and I have so much to be thankful for. I'm very thankful for my sewing friends. And I'm very thankful that I have a talent, handed down by my mother, to sew and create quilts. Making quilts brings me so much enjoyment in my life. This week I'm happy to participate in Lori Holt's Blog Tour with her fabulous book Quilty Fun. You will need the book to participate. This is a book for everyone.
It is here everybody. It has arrived. Of course I'm talking about Pam Kitty Picnic. I am so excited for Pam and Holly. The fabric is lovely. Fat Quarter Shop has it all. And it will be on Etsy and simply everywhere, too.
I had so much fun making this little baby quilt with Pam Kitty Picnic and a few bits from other PKM fabrics. I think it turned out very sweet. I love the vintage little kitties, doggies and tiny animals in the panel. I knew I
It is week 3. My week is next week. So watch for my baskets. But this week is the courthouse steps. It's a block I really love making. Hop over to Rachel at PS I Quilt for all the deets. Yes.

The cutting can come directly from your scrap basket/bin. And there I have 4 courthouse step blocks. Lovely.

It is week 2 of Lori's Sew Along Blog Tour. This week it is Twinkling Stars hosted by Nana and Company. Amy has a sewing and fabric sense I've admired for a long time now.

I am making a quilt with my sisters for next year featuring Lori's apples. So I spent some time working on my apples from last

I really love to make a project before the general public gets their hands on a pattern or fabric. I guess that shows my competitive nature. This last week I really needed to destress with a fun project. And looking at my lovely fabric from Pam on my cutting table surely tempted me. I was glad to put on my headphones and just sew for a couple hours on Saturday and finish my baby quilt using Pam Kitty Picnic and Lynne and Kerry's pattern book 500 Quilt Blocks.
