Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I think I am. I must be since with all the projects I have going I decided to join the oldredbarncoquiltalong. It's a 6 week quiltalong with an easy pattern but what got me interested is that Dana is using Paula Prass' Flights of Fancy. It happens that when I went to the Glendale Quilt Show I bought 3 fabrics from her line just because they were so pretty and I really didn't know what to do with them. And, let me tell you, I'm not one to pay $9.00 a yard for my fabric. I'm a JoAnn's 40% off coupon kinda gal so buying those fabrics was a splurge. Well, now I've got a cool project to use them in AND every week Dana does a giveaway, culminating in the daddy of all giveaways for those that finish their quilts--a Janome 6600P sewing machine! She's already given away 9Olfa mat and rotary cutter sets, a Rowena iron, and is giving away some beautiful threads. So, I get to make a gorgeous and easy quilt, and try my luck at some prizes. What's not to like? And crazy, you say--crazy like a fox! Here are my fabrics. I've cut 9 of the 12. Pretty, huh!
And, btw, I've been working on amandajeans one-a-day-quiltalong and now have 62 blocks made! Woo-hoo! I'm either on a roll or I REALLY need to get a life!

nice fabric, I don't think
ReplyDeleteI have seen anything so pretty...I really can't wait to get started on quiting something, but I just can't seem to find the time. Between selling Avon, crotcheting, raisning kids,dogs, goats, and chickens. oh and the garden and laundry, dishes, bathrooms, it sounds like a lot huh. and i guess it is not, yet I do feel tired everyday. eventually I will find a spare moment but I also don't want to practice on nice new material, any suggestions?
YES!!! The next thing Llauren and I want to do is make a quilt from vintage sheets. I just ordered a set of 250 vintage sheet squares from a woman that buys, washes, and goes through them for imperfections, then cuts them. They were 10 cents each!!!! Let's share them and the three of us can do a quiltalong!!! It would be just straight forward squares pieced together. It'll be fun!!!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah i never thought of sheets! sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so we're on. When the sheet squares arrive I'll post pics and you pick out what you like. I'll mail them to you and you, Llauren, and I will each make one. We'll post pics online and help each other through the process. It'll be a blast. We'll meet up in Oregon with our quilts this summer!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's totally okay to be immersed in quilt projects! And you cannot go wrong with beautiful Flights of Fancy! I have some in my own stash and I love it so much I don't want to cut into it--how's that for making sense??
ReplyDeleteI remember water rationing. Hubby and I are from Santa Barbara (before it became only for the rich and famous) and you're right, it's pretty hard to maintain a garden.
Thanks for the nice comment on my blog--happy quilting!!
