What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The gift gallery at the show was really spectacular with well over 1000 items to choose from. Isn’t shopping fun! But, I put in way too much, with over 100 items. Granted, 40 of them were fabric stars that were displayed on one mug rack and 30 were handmade cards in a basket, but I still had much too much left over. The small room had every wall covered plus three tables in the middle covered with items, along with several quilt racks, and more outside the door.

Some of what I made for the show were items any ...

Once again I have pulled out all the quilts, table toppers, and projects from the storage shelves, and it is time to let some go. A few of these items have been made just to get rid of the fabric, and some were done as projects for a purpose such as a post for the MadamSew blog, a design for Moda Bake Shop, or a quilt along for Fat Quarter Shop. Prices reflect the time and materials used, and do not include shipping. Some items will ship in flat rate boxes as the least expensive way due to weight. Others ...

I’ve decided to sell the Vintage Christmas placemats we made over our quilt along. Since we no longer entertain in our home, I just don’t need them.

The placemats are all paper pieced, with some having embroidered embellishments.

The quilting is a gently curving design, using a taupe color thread which adds texture to the backgrounds and disappears over the piecing.

This week the mornings turned cooler, putting me in the mood for the fall season. Add to that the fair starting up, and I am happy as a clam. This past week, I worked my shift at the quilt competition take-in table for those entering the competition to drop off their entries. I entered a bunch of quilts and quilted items in four categories, along with photographs in that competition and I did the first of the cooking competitions Friday. Next Saturday, I am working the log cabin booth for our guild to sell raffle tickets for our fabulous blue ...

It was a rainy day on Friday, and I decided to fill the house with the aroma of baking and cinnamon. Once I got started baking, it turned into a whole day with Christmas movies on the TV. I like to keep home baked treats in the freezer for My Sweet Babboo. He likes a slice of tea bread in the mornings with his coffee sometimes. I started the day out with the pumpkin I recently baked for this purpose. I had a total of three cups of pumpkin from the little pie pumpkin from my Autumn decorations. So, with ...

Today I join with Quilt Shop Gal for a Virtual Fall Craft Show.  The Virtual Fall Craft Show is for bloggers like me to connect with people who enjoy decorating their homes with handmade items, and giving handmade gifts.  The show will run one week on Quilt Shop Gal’s blog, with several booths highlighted each day, plus there are prizes for shoppers.  The holidays are coming, you know, let’s shop!  I make so many things for the blog, and I am running out of room, so this is the perfect time to have a sample sale.
