My visit to Mara's Fabrics and Gifts

Last week I visited Mara's Fabric and Gifts check our her new website.  I really enjoy visiting with Mara and her husband.  I showed them the Ohio State quilt that I'm finishing the binding on and my Stars and Stripes Allover quilt.  I spotted this  fabric by Sandy Irish for Blank Quilting, I'm not sure what I will do with it yet, but Black and White can be added to a number of colors.  Especially Scarlet and Gray!!

Berkshire by Blue Hill Fabrics

I visited Beth at Cottonpickers Quilt Shop to show her my Gobble Gobble and Market Harvest Quilts.  While there I spotted Berkshire by Blue Hill Fabrics it has turquoise in it, which is supposedly the 'it' color this year!  I haven't decided what to do with it yet.

Busy piecing Quilts and adding to my Stash and cheering for my Buckeyes!!

I have been so busy piecing and shopping and cheering for my favorite football team the Ohio State Buckeyes that I haven't made any time to update my Blog.  So today you will be updated on the last couple weeks of my life!!

The Buckeyes have started the 2010 season with 2 wins!!  Their first win was against Marshall University 45 - 7 on Thursday, September 2.  Jim and I visited my Aunt Winnie and my father Denny to watch the game.  Their second win was against University of Miami 36-24 on Saturday, September 11.  We don't have cable so we watched it on ESPN3.com.  This win was very important as the Buckeyes attempt to reach the BCS National Championship.  There were a few issues with the kick return team that I'm sure Coach Tressel will modify this week.

Southwestern Cross pattern testing

I have finished testing a pattern for Sarah Whitney of Sweet Clover Canyon called Southwestern Cross.  This is the second pattern I tested for Sarah.  

I also tested her Every Day's A Holiday An Artful Table Runner.

Here is a part of the pattern.

As you can see I used White, Red, Gray and Black.

I will post the entire quilt when I get it back from Sarah.
