New Gadget LOVE

Last week I ordered a Straight Stitch Needle plate (0mm) for my machine. I was having issues when piecing with the 9mm plate. The corners of my pieces were getting eaten. I was told by a few 820/830 owners that the new Plate would solve the problem. Well, I used it yesterday, and they were RIGHT! I am so happy :)

 

Goodies

I have been collecting some goodies over the past few weeks and I thought I would share them with you.

 

First some fantastic new patterns…I LOVE getting new patterns, another form of sickness I guess :)

 

 

Jungle Jane pattern from Cherri House Quilts. I am going to make mine out of Frolic. I love the new Frolic line. I am also going to adapt the pattern and use Layer Cakes instead of yardage. So my quilt will be similar, but still the basic idea as hers.

 

 

Next we have MORE Frolic :) I couldn’t resist the new MBS quilt by Natalia over at Piece N Quilt. There was just something about it that made my heart skip a beat.

 

 

Here we have some Moda Jelly Rolls. They are Mill House Inn, Sorbet (my all time fav), and Recess. I have definite plans for the Sorbet and Recess, but still thinking about what to do with the Mill House Inn. The Mill House Inn was bought with a Gift Certificate I won from the CGQC drawing for February. Thanks Kelly :)

 

 

I saw this Layer Cake at http://store.jojosgiftshoppe.com for $17 and couldn’t resist. I love the colors and can not wait to use it :)

 

Friday before last, Amy and I attended the Greater Houston Shop Hop. I found several Fat Quarters to add to my ever expanding stack. I just love the polka dots and the yummy colors. I am still not sure what I will use these for, but I couldn’t resist. Any pattern suggestions for FQs??

 

 

This yard of fabric was also purchased during the shop hop…LOVE IT!

 

 

A few more FQs from the shop hop. A few of these were purchased and a few were gifts from the shops.

 

I also purchased 4 Recess Charm Packs. They are currently being turned into a Charm Square Quilt for my Grandmother. I am heading home with the kids after school is out and thought it would be a nice gift to have for her :)

More Goodies!

Just had to share what was on my door step Friday morning when I woke up…

    

I’m really going to hate unrolling this beauty! The colors are so pretty :)

I ordered this from the Fat Quarter Shop Late Wednesday night and it was on my doorstep Friday morning at 6:30 am. I couldn’t believe how fast it arrived!

I know just what I am doing with this fabric too…can’t wait to get started, of course I have a few things to finish up first!

More goodies :)

More of the fabric I order for my birthday arrived today. This one is a kit. I have never bought a kit before, but when I saw this one I HAD to have it! This is a Christmas quilt using Merry and Bright fabrics. I know that Christmas has pasted, but I never think to make a Christmas quilt until it is too late (like now). So I decided I would get a head start. To be honest, waiting was a good thing, this kit was on sale so I saved money too :)

 

The pattern is called Through The Woods…

It came in this cute little bag :)

New goodies!

I love getting new fabric :)
I got my BLUSH order today…
   
I WON this LOVE U panel and charm pack from Heidi
Thank you Heidi…I am going to make a quilt for the Quilt 4 Kids charity with the panel.

My LQS was having an inventory sale today and I got these…

and this…

I am going to use this for my Round Robin block. I also bought a few other fat quarters to match the ones I bought the other day. I just love the polka dots :) So happy and fun. I think it will make a GREAT pinwheel block. I am going to ask the other 11 ladies to make fun pinwheel blocks to match. I think I am going to ask for polka dots and gingham. I am hoping to get a few EXTRA blocks to make another Quilt for Kids quilt :)

Great Mail Day!

1 Hushabye Jelly Roll

 

and 1 Sorbet Layer Cake…I HAVE to get my hands on some more of this! Anybody know where some is available??? I LOVE IT!

  

Round Robin Fabric Part 2

I went back to my LQS today to look at more fabric. I decided the Brown didn’t really go with the other fabrics…

Here is what I ended up with…11 lovely FQs

The lady at the quilt shop doesn’t like the pink plaid with the others, what do you think? I have no idea what I will do with all the left over fabric. I could use a few suggestions.

I also bought a 1/2 yard of fabric to go with the brown FQs

I couldn’t find anything else to go with them, so once again, I have no idea what I will do with 2 FQs and a 1/2 yard of blue and brown fabric!

New goodies!

I made a trip to the Quilt Shop today and look at the new goodies that came home with me...

The cutest bag pattern.

This Jelly Roll is Candy Kisses by Moda. I love it. The darker pink and red fabric is also from the Candy Kisses line. I am going to make a quilt with this fabric and I love the fabric so much I am going back to buy another Jelly Roll to use to make my bag. I will have enough to make 2 bags and have some left over...now what to do with the left overs??? I think I will make a strip of blocks to add to the backing of my quilt...maybe! LOL

They Came!

I got my Lizzie B Cre8ive patterns in the mail today! I can't wait to get started. Man the todo list is starting to get long. Not sure what I am going to do first...hmmm.

New Patterns on their way!

I just ordered 3 new patterns and a book from Lizzie B Cre8ive. They are adorable! I can't wait until they get here...

New Purchase--Suggestions Please

I bought a kit at Joann's Fabrics. I loved the fabric, but there is a problem...No pattern included. It was suppose to include a pattern for a Windowpane quilt. So now I have seven 18" x 42" fabric and no pattern. So I am looking for suggestions as to what to do with it. I am a new quilter and this was to be my second project. I am not comfortable enough to create my own pattern for it just yet.
