The much blogged about Old Italian Block OIB wedding quilt (seen here and here) had an audience when I brought it for show and tell at our SBAMQG meeting. It is quilted and bound with a sleeve attached for hanging in our Quilt Show. This is my second item crossed off the Quilter in the Gap FAL Q3 list.

Facebook and Pinterest
After years of holding out - I finally joined the rest of the world on facebook. I wanted to use my same flickr buddy icon picture but couldn't find the original on my computer so I used this picture taken in Kauai (a few trips ago).Now that I have a FB account I was able to make a pinterest account and am really excited about that. All I need is more time in the day to play and to learn what the heck I'm doing.

ReplyDeleteI'm totally crushing on your scrap catcher! Did you use a pattern or tutorial? A little old lady at church gave me one a couple of years ago, but I'd love to make a new, fresh/mod one. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Oh, and that's a beautiful picture of you, too! :)
DeleteThanks Melissa - I added the link to the tutorial that I used as a general guide.

ReplyDeleteLoving the fabric you picked for the herringbone block. Also thanks for linking to a tutorial for a scrap catcher. That is one of those things that I constantly tell myself that I need to make but then somehow forget to look for tutorials. Now I don't need to search thanks to you! : )
