sao’s Quilty Happenings This Week – and Then Came Mamie my Singer 99K

Posted By on February 1, 2009

Featured in my weekly quilting log are two new quilts –  Augusta Cole’s Hidden Pinwheel Quilt and Bonnie K. Hunter’s Strip Twist Super Bowl Quilt Blocks.  I also sewed  on Joey’s Forever Plaid Quilt – I put pictures of these on an earlier blog today!

I did finish the Fabricaholics January 24th Mystery Quilt (aka Bonnie K. Hunter’s Star Struck)…..well, it isn’t FINISHED FINISHED but the blocks are finished – it just needs borders, a back, quilting and binding….that is ALMOST FINISHED!  🙂  This is TOTALLY SCRAPPY without a bit of even controlled scrappiness and I am happy with it.  I am surprised too because in the past I have always maintained SOME DEGREE of CONTROL – but not this time!  🙂

I also made my 30’s club blocks for the Star Quilt and the 30’s Club Peace and Plenty Quilt.

I just love “MAMIE” – she is named after my grandmother Mamie Elizabeth.  I am told that if I get another old sewing machine that I can be considered a collector.  Sounds like fun to me!  🙂
