January Projects

I have been busy with several new projects and finding new ideas/patterns etc to make in Feburary. I'm so glad that January went by so fast. I worked on finishing the binding on the quilt that I'm going to enter in our guild quilt show in April. It is called Old Hawaii. I need to put the sleeve and label on it and it is ready to go.
I made small wall hanging for Valentine's using the same pattern idea from Cottage Creek Backdoor quilt series. It is handing near the front door.
I finished a long wall hanging called Buckets of Fun by Carol Kurth/Ruby Lagoon Quilt Co in Salem. It is sand buckets/ocean beach. I need to put the binding on it.
I found a cute quilt called Sweet Hearts in the Easy Quilting Fons and Porter Spring 2011. I found cute red and white materical for it.
I have a quilt on my small arm that I will start on tomorrow. There are so many quilt projects that I want to do and not enough time but I'm working on it.
I went to guild meeting yesterday. It was very interesting with Marian Burns a representative for Blank Textiles. They have alot of beautiful fabric and blenders. I found 2 red fabric at Cotton Patch for my Sweet Hearts Quilt that are Blank Fabrics. It was nice to go to the guild meeting since I missed most to them last year.

Happy New Year 2011

I took the Christmas tree down on Monday since I worked the New Years Day weekend. I enjoy the holidays and have always hated January. But a New Year has started it is going to be a fun year. I got the class schedule for the Sisters Quilter's Affair on Monday. They have classes from Monday-Friday before the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show on July 9. I have signed up to take Melinda Bula 2 day workshop on July 5 and 7 called Fabulous Fusible Flowers. I saw her on the Quilt Show and wanted to take one of her classes. I have her book called Cutting Garden Quilts. It should be a fun 2 day workshop. I will not go to the Quilt Show this year.
I hope to start a new project and start quilting on a quilt which is on the short arm now. It is going to be a Fun Quilting Year. Happy Quilting
