Log Cabin Backing

Before I start I'm thrilled to say that one of my Favorite Quilty Heroes was and is having giveaways to celebrate her 100th post and I was privileged to be one of the winners! I have to say it was quite a funny picture this morning of me in my pj's gasping and bouncing around while my husband stared on in wonder :D hehe! Anyway go check out her site she's amazing and maybe you'll be jumping around in your pj's soon too!

So, remember that post I was confessing my sins of the only sewing that had happened in weeks...

Well this is what it turned into!

I'm preparing to back the Log Cabin Suburbia quilt and I think it looks great! (personal opinion ;) ) I think I'm gonna try out some spray on basting for this one. Does anyone have a favorite brand? Spray on basting loves and hates? Let me know please! I'll being doing that soon or I'll chicken out because of the size and just visit the Missouri Star Quilt Co. with quilt in hand and see what there long arm can do for me! We shall see :)

Anyway this has been blogged over at MSQC and will be posted later this afternoon and you'll be able to cruise over and see more pics for now you can check out my sister's T-shirt quilts she has been doing for clients in Missouri that are currently being blogged on the MSQC blog The Cutting Table. Enjoy!

Soon to be a WIP :)

So does this look like a project waiting to happen or what!

My little boy Jack is just big enough to sit in a highchair I pulled it out and remembered that after the use of 4 girls in it I had thrown away the fabric padding for it!  

It was necessary trust me :) 

 So I'm wanting to make something new for it and I'm not sure what fabric to use.  It's got to be very boy!  

Am I stuck with solids, polka dots, or boy applique?  

There are some great applique projects out there!

Alex would love bicycle's but that is so hard to come by!

Any suggestions for me?  I need 'em!

TTT

Alright girls, who's seen the latest Tool Time Tuesday?
Every one of them is so much fun! Most of you know I'm quite the hardware store junkie :) Ask my husband, I am the owner of the chop saw, jig saw, sander, cordless drill, etc. in our house. So I was hooked after the first TTT I saw and love them! I've been doing a ton of applique lately and lovin' circles right now and Karen just made my life a whole lot easier with her perfect little circles! Or maybe not... this might prompt me to start a few more projects!

P.S. Follow that TTT link up there in the last paragraph... I am so making those aprons for one of my little girls birthdays... or something! I'm thinking we need some of those walking around at my house!

Great news for you!

My sister is doing a pay it forward and is still looking for a 3rd friend to do something nice for! She's a great seamstress and does lots of projects!
This is a pic of her FIRST quilt!
You can see some of her projects on the MSQC blog where she contributes. I was lucky enough to be one of her people :) she signed up under Angela at Moda Home Mom! Can't wait to see what she gets!! And I'll be passing on the favor to 3 more friends later!!!

Give away by Don't Look Now

This woman, Kellie, is truly amazing. Seeing what she does is inspiring and jaw dropping :) She is one of those people I can't help but watch and wonder if I will ever get the guts to even TRY one of her patterns! I can't help wanting to though :)

She just put up a new set of patterns and has a fun giveaway associated with them. Take a look and you'll see why she has also helped me fall in love with sock monkeys :) ...again!
