ANOTHER GARAGE SALE FIND!!!

I found this quilt at a garage sale a while back. The green quilt next to is is one that I am quilting for James. I am looking for a back to match the red and blue garage sale find and then it will go on a hoop.

A WEEK OF STIPPLING

I stippled these two quilts in my spare time this week. These quilts are small but once again, I was making baby quilts for the ladies in the ward in Texas and friends who's children were having babies, but never had the time to finish them. They need binding but I am waiting. I have one more quilt to stipple, it is a full size quilt. Hopefully, next week I will have that one done as well and then I will just bind all three at the same time.

FULL CIRCLE

When I was a young mother, I had fabric and sewing supplies all over the house and would pull out my sewing machine and put it in the kitchen. I would have scraps and threads from one end of the house to the next. When I got alittle older and a home in Texas, I moved my sewing to the Laundry room, then to the foyer. Still fabric and material all over the house. Then when the boys started to leave home, I finally had the sewing room of my dreams (of course, I wanted shelving, cutting table...etc..but it worked). I was working so I could not enjoy the room as much as I wanted.

Now we have moved. I had a make shift sewing/bedroom. It worked, atleast everything was in one room at my finger tips.

Today, I am dismantling my sewing room. I have sons visiting and one staying. Once again I have material and supplies stored all over the house. It is amazing how much stuff I have collected and part of me is ashamed that I do have so much but any quilter/sewer will tell you that you can never have enough material. So....I have gone full circle. I don't mind, at least for the moment. It also reminded me of all the projects I have started and not completed. Once again, I tell myself, no more projects! No more projects! We will see how long that last.

EBAY QUILT

I got this quilt off Ebay. It cost more to send it then what I actually paid for the quilt itself. Upon looking at it, it seems to be atleast 50 yrs or more old. It has the poka dots for the sashing, and on the back it looks like each piece was sewn to muslin. I need to quilt it...no stippling for this quilt. I have found that some people will send to Samoa and some won't. I had to explain where Samoa was to one person and then find the shipping cost and then they agreed to send the item if I had the highest bid. This quilt cost me a total of 14.9l.

MOMA'S AND BEVERLY'S STASH

Well, while I was visiting my mother, I had the opportunity to help organize her stash....sheweee, I think it took us 4 hours to organize the material. She had her two grandsons in there fixing the shelves. Believe me you, we all were tired that night.

THIS QUILT WAS DONE BY AUNT MAMIE
