RANDOM WORDS AND PICTURES TODAY

Today I have kind of a random post for you.  Mostly because it is too darn hot here in Michigan to think, much less sew.  I do have several things I wanted to share with you.  Isn’t this a darling pouch?  Judi A. made it.  I love the fabric and when I saw it at Happy Scrappers, I knew I had to show it to you.

This is another finish for me.  I call it Ruth’s quilt because I really don’t know the name of this pattern.  Ruth gave me the idea and I blogged about it here.  I like Ruth's setting much better than mine, but I was just too lazy to make things on point.  Also I didn't want my quilt to be as big as her's.  It is a wonderful way to use those “ugly” fabrics.   My fabric choice and color choices have changed over the years.  Thus, I have a pile of fabrics I doubt that I will ever use again. 

Here is a closeup of one of my blocks.  When Ruth told me about this quilt, I couldn’t wait to get started and made this quilt with those “old” fabrics.  Of course the red centers and gold sashings are not “old” fabrics, but they are ones that I found on sale.  The Attic Window Quilt Shop has the best sales!  The red centers are 2 ½” squares and the rest of the block is made up of 2 ½” X  1 ½” strips and 3 ½” x 1 ½” strips.  It is a fun quilt to make.

 I had to show you this.  One of the ladies at Happy Scrappers took this picture of me with my Aunt Millie’s quilt.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

ON ANOTHER NOTE:  Lots of Pink Here has a tutorial for a hexagon pouch.

Until next time,
