Quilting!

I finally got around to this quilt I have been working on.  The fabrics used are reproductions of 30's fabrics.  It was a mystery quilt that I do through American Quilting in Orem.  I go on the 2nd Saturday of each month to pick up the next block.  It takes a year to finish.  You don't see the finished quilt until the very end.  That is the fun of it.  It is never like you think I will be.  This is the 5th mystery quilt.  I am working on one now that is a Halloween quilt.  Will see that one in June.
     

This room is what my husband Kent calls the "sewing room annex".  It is right across the hall from my sewing room.  I just like it because it is a place for my quilting machine.  I can spend hours in there.

I hope to get this quilt done soon.  Just love it.

I have been busy getting some things done for a class I'm teaching at American Quilting quilt retreat at the end of March.  Can't wait for that.  Four days of nothing but sewing, classes and more sewing.    


   

I love pincushions.  Here are a few that I have.  The one I made here is for my friend, and quilting bud, Martha.  Made it for her birthday.  The fabric I bought at an antique store.  Said on the tag that it is "cotton twill, circa 1940's".  I'll believe anything when it comes to fabric.  There was a yard of it, it was calling my name.  I also bought the bed springs there too.  I think it adds to the vintage feel.

Sometimes I don't like to put pins in them.  Just for looks.  I have a couple that I do use, they are by my machines, and my grandkids, when they are here, will push the pins all the way in.  Does that happen to anyone else?  Oh well, it's good for a laugh.
