Project: End Tables

Here's a quick sneak peek at the next thing to hit my sewing table. I have all my pieces cut for this quick project now all I need is to find the time. Ha ha right! 
What I am sewing next is two small quilts designed to just fit on top of our end tables. They're antiques and this will protect the top as well as add a splash of color. I went with a very basic simple design because I didn't want anything too complicated after all we'll be setting lamps, coasters, books, remotes and whatever else on top of these. The finished quilts should measure 25½ by 20½. exactly the right size to cover the top. I will keep you updated on my progress....
Thanks for reading♥

Fabric Love Friday - beach edition

I recently visited the Oregon Coast and you bet I found some really neat quilting/fabric shops. I love these small independent quilt shops; they always have a treasure trove of fabrics and what better place to get beach themed/inspired fabrics. So over the next several Friday's I will have FLF- beach edition to show you all my fabric booty...

Garden Walk Block of the Month recap

I realize this is about 21 days too late... A lot happened and I should have known that I had bitten off more than I could chew for the month of May. So without further ado here are a sampling of the blocks I completed. In total I made 49 blocks. I am going to put them together to make a large queen size quilt.








I'm not too sure about the coloring on this last one. I wanted to show it to you so you could see that two not very contrasting colors start to look like one big blob and you lose some of the design elements.
Thanks ♥ for reading.
