30's Club Piece N Plenty June Block
I really like the little filler block for the Piece N Plenty Quilt – I added the little bunny!

I also completed my CHAIN OF FOOLS July Block of the Month at Quilter’s Corner ….

Chain of Fools - July 2009
My PEPTO CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO QUILT now has borders and is with my long arm quilter Sara – complete with a little label!!!!! I really like the border fabric that Susan picked out…..hot pink! I got the pattern from Augusta Cole’s CUTTING BEE in January but the fabric was all from my stash – I have been collecting pinks for awhile……and there is barely a dent in my pink fabric.

THE LABEL!

Creative Labeling
And Finally I did some creative work on my label – two YO YO’s and three buttons GLUED ON WITH FABRI-TAC covered the holes left by the basting stitches. Thanks to my VA SCRAPPER friends for coming up with this solution!!!
and…
I am currently working on my CELTIC KNOTWORK Block one – a picture will no doubt appear soon! If you want the pattern click on lynnes fresh hope quilting on my blog roll (she doesn’t use capital letters and so I didn’t either!)

So many of you have been asking about Catherine and how she is doing. SHE IS DOING GOOD! She has a walking cast and is still staying in temporary lodgings with her beloved John (DH) and Miss Sydney – her beloved furry daughter.
You can keep up with her on her blog – and you will be amazed at all of her creativity ….ENJOY!
Here is a picture of Catherine showing her IF I WERE A FLOW-HER CHALLENGE QUILT at the Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild in Powhatan, VA in May. The quilt will be on display with other guild IF I WERE A FLOWER CHALLENGE QUILTS in the Powhatan Public Library during the month of July.

I am AMAZED……you must take a peek at this blog. I never dreamed you could make so many things from fabric selvages. WOW. I copied one photo from the blog – but there are MORE THINGS – post cards, aprons, pillows, pot holders, skirts, lamp shades, and lots of quilts. You can even KNIT with selvages. Did you all know that there is even a book out on using selvages! This is true and not simply bandinage!!!!
