Sleepless In California...

last night was one of those sleepless nights, I woke up at 3am creating QUILTS in my head ..I kept thinking about new fabric and new ideas and I just could not get my brain to shut off and go to sleep so I finally just got up and found the new Fall/Winter issue of Quilt sampler magazine and thumbed through it...finally at 5am I started getting sleepy and dozed off...but today I had to make a trip to the Quilt Shop and pick up a small ruler and of course 7 or 8 fat quarter bundles...Ya I probably won't sleep tonight either as I plan what to do with them...I love the colors...not very Autum but so dainty and pretty...

I Love these sweet little Feet...

But I Love the GrandBoy they belong to even more....

Yay! I think I got it...

Finished my W.I.P...
I have been trying to learn to bind my Quilts for you that are pros at it I guess you are rolling your eyes right about now but I am a self taught Quilter everything I learned about Quilting I learned from the internet or books or My Friend Kat that has answered my billions of questions...well today I was thrilled to Google and find a very easy to follow tutorial and tomorrow I am going to make the step by step attempt to do this thing...my practice piece is a block I finished Sunday...wish me luck!!!

Ready to Go!

I'm loving pink ,red and aqua blue in my quilting...I finally got all my fabric together and better organized I have several stacks but at least they make sense to me now...I've got a lot of projects stacking up and I really need to get some things done and some things started...it's been so hot here again that I just have had no inspiration to do any sewing...but we are finally heading for a cool off...Fall is in the air but we usually have one last hot spell right before it begins to cool down...with that said I am hoping to get these projects I have going ,My Daughter's baby shower is in less then a month now and I have a lot to get done for that, not only am I hosting it but I have My Grandbaby Boy's Quilt to get finished...but for now I am pulling aside some fabric color combinations that are grabbing my eye I found some pieces I already had and a charm pack that compliments some of the pieces...I hope you all have a very nice week....

A Little Sewing in the Evening...

I was searching around today and I found a quilt block that looked easy and really cute so I decided to make it tonight it took me a whole half hour at the very most...I got to use some fabric I bought when I was at the beach the last time I went..what surprised me was the instructions suggested ironing the seams open which I have never done in quilting and I must admit it looked rather nice and neat...this is just one block in the next few days I will be adding to this many more blocks ,they were really fun to make...

placing the pieces...


All sewed together...
I thought the back looked nice..
