Two posts in one week....WHAT?!!!!

Yes I'm back....I wanted to show you what I've been working on, which really isn't much, but oh well it helps keep me motivated if I can show them to you! Here are a few more Tachi Machi blocks from Pinwheels.

I enjoy working with these fabrics so much. Someday I'll get around to quilting each one and putting them together, I hope.
I also started Allie's 18th birthday quilt, which is a batik sampler (I made one for my sister-in-law a few years ago) and my girls loved it. Kara has made her own which is going off to the quilter next week and I believe Emily even started one. Allie picked it for me to make, so I figure if I make a few blocks each week, it should be done by August 2011.

I've also made a couple of these simple, but effective table runners from Moda Bake Shop. My plan is to quilt them myself and give them for gifts.

I'm still working on my Scandinavian Christmas blocks. All of the applique is done on two of them and I have started the embroidery. My LIB blocks have not seen the light of day in a couple of weeks and I miss them, but they'll come out again soon.
Jay and I also had such a good time with my sister and her family who live just outside of Nashville. We stayed with my niece Caylee, her hubby Steven and their 3 funny cats in their pretty townhouse and they were such wonderful hosts. My Kaffe Fassett fabric stash grew considerably as Pamela shared with me!

Cool huh?! And look at this sweet little cabinet.

That's my Christmas gift from my sister. I love it!!! Thank you again Pam!!! I wish I had taken pictures of her new sewing room....very cute!
And lastly...would you look at what came in the mail last week???? Great book, as always.

Time to get myself ready for a big 3 days...it's Homecoming in Cowboy country and that means busy times at work. ranette
