SAO’s QUILTING PROGRESS

Thimbleberries

I finished the August center block for the LAKESIDE version of the Thimbleberries 2008 Quilt.  If you are making one you will notice that mine does not look like the one in the instructions?  WHY?  I am famous for my tendency to do my own thing and I just decided that I liked my way on this one…..so here it is…..

I took this project with me on my trips to Kansas City, MO in June and July and to California in August.  It was wonderful to have on the plane and during my long layovers in airports.  LONG LAYOVERS in airports – it is a THING that I enjoy immensely and there is no logical explanation for it that I know of.  I just know that I enjoy it and try to schedule AIRPORT TIME between flights whenever possible.  In fact my 3 hour plus layover in BOSTON caused some “concern” for the inspection crew at the Long Beach Airport in California.  I was questioned extensively about WHY I had such a long layover.  Not wanting to draw undue attention to myself or disparage my sanity, I did not confess that I LIKED LONG WAITS IN AIRPORTS but rather I just said, “that is just the way it worked out….smile.”

MODA PIECE AND PLENTY

Since I have been doing MORE traveling than sewing this summer, I decided to include a picture of what Susan (of Quilters’ Corner) made as a demo for this month’s Moda, Block of the Month Piece and Plenty Club.  This is what MY BLOCK will look like WHEN I make it.

 

PURSE TO DIE FOR

 

And this will be what my purse will look like when I make it.  Here we have a picture of Trudy’s purse (and cute little shoe bows to match.)  I have the same material…….so one of these days, I, too, may have a cute bag like this.  Don’t you just LOVE this bow?!  The pattern and fabric is from the Quilter’s Corner.

Quilter’s Corners BLOCK OF THE MONTH

 

I love the AUGUST QUILTERS CORNERS Block of the Month from the Quilter’s Corner.  I make two blocks each month – so I will either have two quilts at the end of the year – or a LARGE quilt at the end of the year.  Stay tuned for the end result!!!!
