Potholder #2

I finished my second potholder.

I wanted it to match the first one I made, but have a different pattern.

I used left over half square triangles, like I did for the first one.

 I really like how this one turned out too.

This was a great way to use those tiny squares.

What do you think?

My first finish of the month!!

I finished my little potholder.

 I love it!!

I need to make a big quilt using this pattern and colors.

I started my Sunday`s Best quilt top!

I decided to start my Sunday`s Best quilt top tonight. I decided to make these blocks bigger. I wanted a nice big everyday quilt that I could use on a bed or as a sofa quilt. This is going to be a scrappy quilt. I am only using fabrics from my stash to make it. I have the first four blocks sewn together. What do you think? It is very much my style. These blocks come together very easily. I love that!! I have not been in the mood to sew as much lately. But starting a new project has gotten me a bit more into the groove again. I have to go to bed now. I have to work in the morning.

A new book and some fat quarters!

I hope you all had a great day. I am off work today. I decided to go to a local quilt shop that was having a store wide sale. I bought 8 fat quarters from the Buggy Barn Folk Art collection. I love this collection. I also bought four other fat quarters that were on sale for $1.88. I do plan to buy more of the Buggy Barn fabric. I just can not spend too much right now. I am on a tight budget.

I also went to Chapters to buy the book One Yard Wonders. I had been planning to buy this book since I saw it before Christmas at Chapters. So, I put money aside to get it. I love it. It has so many patterns in it. I was looking through the book tonight with my daughter and I know of a bunch of patterns that we will make together. I am very excited.

I haven`t done a lot of sewing this week. I did make two blocks for my guild block exchange and I forgot to take pictures of them. I was really disappointed. I did love the one block that I made. Maybe I can make myself another one, then show you. Well, that is all for today.
