I was playing around on Etsy this evening and noticed I have been featured in my second Treasury. It made my day.
Also the whole Treasury features articles made from the Moda Frolic line.
See below for the new Treasury.

I have asked Facebook and now I’m asking my readers. My dog has destroyed her pale pink big box store collar, it’s not even pink anymore.
Please help me pick a new collar for my active hound…Chick. She is a very unique dog that is very active. I normally don’t talk about my dogs on here, but I LOVE fabric.
Check out the wonderful fabric selections you can get on these dog collars. As I was searching Etsy I found some of my favorite fabrics as I was searching…Amy Butler, Moda, Michael Miller, Andover. Tonight I made a Treasury on Etsy to showcase a few of the collars I liked. Comment on here or on Etsy with your favorite. I will make my selection on Friday.
Let’s support some artists/craftsmen and get Chick something awesome.
Well I had this quilt completed yesterday, but had to take photos today. I have been trying to stash bust and this is the start of some 24 projects that I found. OH Man am I going to be busy. More great things to share.
I’m working on a Quilts for Kids completion to get mailed out on Saturday. The top has taken no time, just need to get it finished then basted.
Also on tap is a baby quilt for a friend Ashley. I’m afraid Lily might be here before I get it completed, that is my fault though.
On the desing wall is a Moda Eva quilt. I need to go searching for green, pink and purple veragated thread.
This week has been awesome. I started a new job and I’m doing some off hours for training. The best part is in two weeks I’ll be working 3pm-11pm so I can spend my mornings sewing.
Here is what I have been working to finalize all this week:
I have everything ready to go on a couple more quilts, just need to sit down and do them. I don’t have three days this week to just sit and sew.
Since Wednesday I have been working to diligently get items marked off my check list. Well readers, I was successful.
Five new sets of potholders that will be added throughout the week to Etsy. Here is just an idea of what they look like.
Finished the Groovy Flower quilt top and got it pressed. Found backing fabric to coordinate.
Completed the custom quilt top I have been working on as well. Just waiting on approval in order to start quilting.
However, to quilt I need to clean out my front room. That includes finally unpacking from vaca, sweeping, and cleaning the carpets. I like to pin on carpet so this is a must. I found another top that I forgetten about and the backing. Could there be another quilt to be completed in my making??? You bet!
After a wonderful weekend in NYC I am ready to get back to normal. I did get to stop by the garment district on Sunday very briefly. Luckily I knew my limit and carry on size so I did not purchase too much fabric. I picked out two wondeful yards that I already have ideas for.
What is on the docket for this week…LOTS. I start my new job next Monday. I’m taking the rest of the week off to spend some time sewing. I will be in a great mood going into the new job especially if I get a few projects marked off this list.
Goal for this week is to spend Wednesday-Friday sewing so I can enjoy my weekend. Last week before we left I did make some strides in organizing my sewing room. I unpacked about two big boxes. I found a great new piece to put in the room for pressing pieces, it extends with drawers. I can now walk from my cutting table, to the pressing table and put ideas up on my design wall. My design wall is just a simple plastic tablecloth the with fuzzy back.
Fabrics that I bought for quilts have been sorted into a shoe organizer. That way, I can just pull them out and get started. BTW…I have that thing full, so 24 projects to go. Doesn’t look like much was done in there last Wednesday, but I see progress and that’s what is important.
