yard sale prep

I'm cleaning out my sewing room today getting ready for a yard sale this weekend. maybe if i sell some stuff i can make room for more fabric LOL. My sister-in-law already sayes it looks like a store in that room (a realy messy store). Hopefully I can remidy that.
 I have two garbage bags full of ties i was going to make a quilt from them but decided that i have to many other projects so i'll let someone else have fun with them. And i have a few antique sewing machines that i bought and never used so its time for them to find new homes to. I have way to much stuff so Im realy trying to downsize the stuff i dont think i'll ever use.

on the topick of yard sales my favorit LQS (www.cherishedpeices.com) is having there annual yard sale this weekend in Tillsonburg so i'll have to find some time for that as well.

Im going to be teaching a class on this card trick pattern some time in August. it is made with one jelly roll and 3.25 yards background fabric.

Quilt for my Grandmother

I had made this quilt top in a class i took a few years ago and since my mom whanted to give my grandmother a quilt as a getwell gift i quilted it up quickly for her.

I quilted freehand flowers and meanders all over the top.

I think it turned out pretty good for being in a bit off a rush to compleat it.

Im getting a GO cutter

Im finaly taking the plunge and getting myself an Acuquilt Go cutter. Ive been pricing around and today found a good deal at my LQS. Its about time to since I have a quilt I whant to make that has a crazy amount off half sqare triangles in it.

Whant im curently working on

 this is the quilt i just took off the frame . Im making it for my Daughter she picked out the fabric i dident like it at first but now Im starting to like this quilt. i just quilted it in a random pattern of flowers leaves hearts and butterflys with lots a swirls.

 I love the coulours pink and black together and im having fun adding lots off texture to the background off this quilt.

This quilt is for a customer its her first quilt and she did a realy good job. Its an exploding pinapple pattern and i love the colours she chose. i quilted it with varigated tan and brown aurifill thread.
