Wednesday evening our two oldest girls, Kelli and Kayla, joined me on a trip to my favorite quilt shop, Country Threads. Â They had a HUGE sale and we had a blast. Â I have shop pictures and sale pictures I’ll show you in the upcoming days….right now I want to tell you what we did Thursday….. Â We sewed….
Kayla was busy working on machine quilting a baby quilt she made from vintage sheets….
Kayla loves vintage sheets and she makes some really great looking project with them. Â This is actually the second quilt she machine quilted.
Kelli was busy cutting out projects. Â She’s going with me to see Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville next week so she cut out her Pineapple Quilt. Â Then she cut out a throw quilt.
She is using an old Moda line, Hushabye….
Kayla had to leave early but Kelli stayed on and started in on her 2″ scrap bucket making random 4 patches for Miss Rosies quilt, Ginger Bell.
Sewing random patches was hard for her at first….she would turn her head and grab two fabrics without looking.
I was busy sewing neutral string piece blocks….I need 168…so far all sewn just today, I have 133!! Â WHOOP….WHOOP!
It’s a big mess but I don’t care a drop. Â For the last weeks I have been sewing for Moda Bake Shop and for AccuQuilt. Â I am SO ready to be sewing something just for me….something that I am going to keep….something I completely and TOTALLY LOVE. Â I am making Jamestown Landing. Â It’s Bonnie’s newest pattern out. Â You can find it in the Australian Homespun Magazine, Blue Issue. Â I got my issue at Erica’s. Â Here’s a picture of the quilt….
I will tell you more about our busy shopping and sewing days soon…promise. Â Right now I am off two sew some more string blocks….
What a fun time for you and your Gals! I would love that to happen with my two girls, what wonderful bonding.
I just got my Australian Homespun issue from Erica’s the other day. Love that Jamestown Landing…..it’s the only reason I put out the money for the magazine. It should make a serious dent in my blues. Not sure when I’ll start it….still working on RRCB, and will be for a while yet :) :)
Sounds like you had so much fun. I’m two borders shy of finishing Hawk’s Nest. Hope to have it done this weekend. I’m a little less than 2 sides away from finishing my RRCB. I just ordered the magazine from Erica’s–thanks to you (wink). Bonnie says the pattern will be in her next book–you made it so I couldn’t wait! I can use a little clearing out of my white strips…I tend to go more towards off whites and creams. Are you going to join the Cheddar Challenge? Sandi
I think it’s wonderful that your daughters like to quilt, it must be fun to do things together , like going to the quilt store and having sewing days. I have only one daughter and so far she has not shown much interest in quilting. She did get a sewing machine awhile back to use for mending and has done a few crafty projects, so maybe someday the quilt bug will bite. I love that pattern of Bonnie’s also, will have to watch for the magazine. Looking forward to seeing what you bought at the sale.
