Stitching and Fabric

I got a little more progress on "My Lady's Quaker."

I also decided to pull out an old UFO. Carriage House Samplings Alphabet.

I started this when I was pregnant with Matthew (over three years ago) and decided to get it back out after seeing Siobhan's beautiful framed piece. I would love to get this one finished up!

I also went to my local quilt shop (People, Places and Quilts) today. It's a beautiful shop in historic Summerville. I got some backing and binding fabric for my table topper.

I got the blue for the back and the brown for the binding. I also picked up a few fat quarters while I was there. All the fabric I got is from the Moda Figgy Pudding line.

Tomorrow I'm going to Amy's to stitch and shop! I can't wait for that!! It's been a long time since I've been away (without kids). I need it!! Write Later!

  7. Jennifer you can download the pattern through the Jarden Prive site, or Amy from Down Sunshine Lane is now carrying the paper pattern.

  19. Nicole, you've been bitten! That darn quilting bug got you. There's no turning back now.

    You're Quaker lady is moving along nicely! I thought about doing that one but I have too many projects I want to do already so I decided against it. :(
