Chuggin' Along




The craft fair has come and gone for June..two more to go in July and August.  I sold one wallet total.

sneaking in some trimming time...I did cut myself:( small cut,learned my lesson:)
 You know what though?  I received a lot of really great compliments on my work and did hand out some business cards. I may even have a possible commission quilt ahead of me:)  Staying REALLY positive!!

BESIDES, a few days prior to the fair I had received a convoy on Etsy for a commission quilt!  The client wanted the "Color Me Happy" quilt I have listed in my shop,but a bit bigger at 40x60.  Happy news for mu-aw! 

I decided to get precise lines and not go all wobbly I would finally use my Clover Hera marker:)  It worked so well and made my life a lot easier.  I do a cartwheel inside when tools do what they are supposed to do.  Ya know?!  I prepped 4 bobbins with white thread and went through every one of them.  Prepared.  Yes indeed!

The client had her kiddos voted on 20 quilts and they loved mine hands down!!  Humbling:)  This is why I quilt.  Reason # ???

The Roy G Biv color wheel was requested and so I took out the original colors pink and black and used charm squares.  The dilemma for me was the math.  I really need a quilting calculator or I will be forced to rely on Quilting Board once again.  They are so darn knowledgeable on there and quick to reply!!

This will be displayed on a wall as a art piece.  A completely white backing.  Easy for me.  No piecing!  I think the straight line grid pattern for the quilting really offsets the HST'S quite magically.

All the colors really jump out at you with the black binding---sweet!

Shortly it will be on its way to Ohio!


A few days ago I received a request for a custom wallet.  Colors are hot pink,yellow,aqua/turquoise, with a black snap closure and brown zipper.  Here is the print I had in pink on a wallet listed in my shop that the client really liked.  OOP Tula Pink Plume:

Snatched a yard and it is sitting on my cutting table waiting for me.  This will be he outside print for the wallet.  I hope to get this done at my new quilting group tomorrow.  Totally excited to have 3 hrs to myself t sew!!  This is my second time going and it is very nice!  Ayden gets to go play with some friends nearby too.  It's a win-win situation!

Speaking of my stinker boy!!  There he is:)

Time to skedaddle and go cook up some steaks for the boy and I.

Enjoy your week and I hope you get some good sewing in!
