Road To St. Louis

Road To St. Louis, a great stashbuster. This is a quilt from an older book by Trudi Hughes. It uses 2 and 1/2" squares.


It's quilted in a Baptist Fan design.


I'm still piecing every night on the 1930's quilt. As soon as it takes shape I'll post a picture.

Rick Rack In The Binding

I put the binding on this quilt last week. Big squares of brushed cottons, nice and warm!


I added some rick rack in the binding.



It wasn't hard to do and it turned out so cute!

1930's Reproduction Reduction

Last week I wanted a new project that was a quickie. I always turn to my stash of Lori Smith patterns when this happens.


Isn't this just the cutest?



So, while I was digging around in my 1930's drawer I decided to start a really ambitious project. I'll show that to you later in the week. This is my drawer after cutting for the new quilt. Sorry, I don't have a before picture but it was overflowing with fabric and this is what's left! Love it because some of those fabrics were twenty years old.


And, don't you know pancakes and bananas taste better with a rooster hanging from your neck!

A Day At Nana's House


This is what we do in the morning while Mommy is at work...


Wear Nana's house shoes.


While watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.


Climb in a big basket.


Sit on a bag of marshmallows.


And, have lunch!


I thought you might like to see what I've been working on. It's a toothbrush rug. I've used up tons of ugly fabric, scraps and extra binding strips. It's 48" now. I'm going for 72". It is a rug for my quilt room.
