This is a quilt top that still needs to be quilted.  I love the simplicity of this and all the colors.  I was using blocks that I had and this is just going to be a utility quilt.  My goal is to get it quilted this year.

I love love modern blocks

 In our guild this year we are going to have a Crazy Quilt challenge.  We can make a quilt block, small quilt, purse, bag, clothing item, etc.  At our Christmas party in December we will do a Show & Tell of what we have completed or started.  The block above is from a quilt on display at the Bloomington Indiana Quilt Show in 2013 or 2014.



 Laurel Burch is one of my favorite designers.  She passed away several years ago but so far I can't cut into all that fabric that I have from her collections.  Anyone else like that???  This is a quilt from the same quilt show.
 Above is the nasty chair bottom and below is it recovered chair from some fabric I purchased when I was in Brazil, South America.

 Above are some wild turkeys and below is a deer at Clifty Falls State Park in Madison Indiana

This is a photo of two of my friends when we went on a Shop Hop last year.  We were at a shop that was a log cabin in Kentucky in this photo.  The red head now lives in St. Louis Missouri but the one on the right is still in cahoots with me.

I have a few photos from a guild meeting last night but I need to down load them on this computer and I can't remember how!!!  I'll figure it out soon.

Have a great day or evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year 2015!!

I wanted to start this blog as a way to highlight what the quilt guild is up to and also all of the crazy projects I'm always up to my ears in.  I have a lot of interests and I need a way to keep track of what I'm doing.  I'm not always good at finishing items so I have waaaay too many UFO's.  I'm also trying to become more organized in my life.  That is a goal for 2015.

Our quilt guild is Evening Star Quilters, Columbus Indiana, we meet the second Tuesday of the month at Mill Race Center starting at 7:00pm.  We try to have demonstrations most months and we always have amazing show and tell.  I love show and tell!!  Talk about "Awesome Items" these ladies have such talent.  We'd love to have you join us.

  This is my yellow, black and white quilt blocks that are now completed and just need binding.  I DO NOT like binding!  I envy people who love that part.  Some of these blocks were made by me and some were traded in Bees.  I'll show you the finished quilt soon.
 This is not the best photo but I collect :aurel Burch fabric.  I love the colors and whimsy.  Laurel Burch passed away a few years ago but the love of her fabric is going strong.

This is the first (short) post of many that I hope to add.  Have a wonderful first day of 2015.
