My Charm Bracelet Quilt

I have wanted to become a Moda Chef for the last year or so.  Moda looks for designs using their precut fabrics suggest as charm packs (5" pieces), jellyrolls (2.5" strips) and layer cakes (10" pieces).  So I have decided to submit this quilt design.  My design is using Sandy Gervais' Giddy.

My Charm Bracelet Quilt
This quilt is 47" x 56"

Wish me luck on getting my design accepted!!!

I just finished the binding and hanging sleeve on this quilt.  Now it's ready for the Scarlet and Gray Trunk show at JEllen's House of Fabric in October.

Nermal - Bug Stings and Blogging

We had a scare with Nermal on Friday afternoon.  He was crying and didn't want to be touched, and his tail was hanging straight down.  As my DH said 'Nermal isn't struting!'.  Called the vet and took him in on Saturday morning.  He was feeling better by the vet appointment.  The vet checked him out and determined he had been stung on the back.  He still has a bit of a lump.  But he is feeling so much better he decided to help me blog today!



July 2011 has been a really Hot one! Thank goodness for air conditioning!

I have been busy finishing my Scarlet and Gray quilts for the trunk show in October at JEllen's House of Fabric in Mayfield, Ohio.  By finishing I mean adding hanging sleeves and hand sewing on the bindings. 


I finished this one last week.  Now I'm working on this one.


I will take a better picture when it is completed.

I have 4 more that need done by the end of the month.

Then 2 more are coming from the quilter to be done by the 1st of October.

I better get busy!!
