I'm back in the saddle again......

Oh yes I am....I had some time this weekend to get back where I belong....my sewing room! Yippee! I accomplished quite a bit actually. I put the back together for the Truly Scrumptious top. I pieced it to use up fabric and that always takes longer and I also pieced the binding.

 

I also made some of these cute little LeMoyne stars for the Antique Quilt.

 

And I worked some on my pies for the pies and tarts quilt.

 

Oh and I forgot to show the new pincushion I ordered for myself from Bunny Hill Designs It was to make myself feel better last week....it worked :o) It's so pretty and heavy too. I really, really like it.

 

Okay I've got to go to the big city today for a doctors appointment. I may have time for a stop at quilt store if I hurry...

Ranette have fun shopping if you get time to do it. I have to run to the big city myself tomorrow for a doctor appointment but doubt I will have time to find the quilt shop - the one that I knew where it was closed I know there is another but the problem is can I find it before rush hour! and possible heavy rain storms?
Love the little blocks

Fantastic pincushion! I saw it on Bunny's blog and LOVED it. Love watching the progress of pies and tarts and very pretty lemoyne stars too.

Your pies for the quilt are very pretty. What size are the blocks?

So glad you had the time to sew this weekend. I have made some of those LeMoyne stars before and they can be a little tricky. Your blocks are fabulous.

I'm glad you got to do some stitching, the pies and the stars look great. If the pincushion is heavy, do you know what it's filled with?
