Happy Quilting!!
WISP and whole cloth quilts
I've been sewing. I'm just working away on the same old projects :0) We went camping last weekend and it rained and rained. It was a good chance to do some stitching on my vine. Still working on panel#3.
I've been making a pieced border for another long term project - my Crowfoot quilt. It's been in the ufo pile for awhile and I was thinking of it for my next handquilting project. Here is the link to the last time I posted about it. http://www.mrssewnsew.blogspot.ca/2010/11/lovely-surprise.html
I'm also still making blocks for the Cheddar Posy quilt for my daughter.
time flies!
It has been a long time since I posted. I've been very busy. We had all new floors put in and so I've basically packed up and unpacked our house over the last 2 weeks. Whew! The hardest part was the sewing room. I have a very deep closet in that room and I hadn't cleaned it out in a very LONG time. It was good to refold some ufo's. I'm wanting to get back to working on one in particular so I hope I can post some progress on it soon.
In the meantime I've been focusing on these 3 projects and making some progress. This is the second vine panel of my Susan McCord vine quilt. It's about halfway - I LOVE working on this project!
I made a few more blocks for Cheddar Posies. I'm running low on my cheddar stash. The cheddars at my LQS are a bit dull. I need to find more somewhere else. Anyone know of a good Quilt shop in central Florida that stocks lots of reproduction fabrics? We're going on a holiday there in a few weeks. We've never taken the kids to Disney World/Land before - it should be fun.
I'm slowly making progress with my red and white quilt too. I have 3 of the setting triangle 1/2 wreaths done and did the background quilting in one of the corners to see how it would look.
I'm still waiting for the quilt to tell me what it needs in the red parts - I hope it starts talking soon :0)

Cheddar posies
While I've been undecided about the setting fabric for Pink Lemonade I have been working on more blocks for this quilt. It is for my DD#1. I wouldn't have picked this color scheme but now that I've a few blocks made I love it!
I still need lots more blocks. She enjoys helping me choose fabric combinations for each block. The pattern in May/June 2011 Quiltmaker calls the pattern Rosy Posies so since mine are all cheddar I'm going to call it Cheddar Posies.

a new project
I have started a few new projects lately - yikes! Here is one of them. DD#1 knows that DD#2 getting a new quilt before she does is incorrect in the order of fairness. Not that I've finished the courthouse steps quilt yet :0) Anyway to keep everyone happy I have started a new quilt for DD#1.
She has chosen the color scheme and the pattern is from the May/June Quiltmaker magazine. So far it is all from my stash. I see that I might want to work in a little more variety of cheddar/golds and maybe some brighter yellows. I calculate that I will need 46 blocks so I'll be at this one for awhile! It's not my usual type of block. I don't like stitch and flip because of the waste. In this case I am stitching the cut off part into hst's and stuffing them in a ziplock bag. A blue and gold quilt with lots of tiny hst's is likely in my future :0)
