About Me

My photo
I'm a quilting, knitting, sewing, cooking,reading, gardening nut who can never find enough hours in the day to get it all done. Then again, getting it all done is out-of-the question. I'm too easily distracted.

Pride…Cometh Before The Fall…..

A quick share for you chicks….
Here it is.
My version of Blue Skies …pattern by Bonnie Hunter.

Its pretty big.  A bit short of 90" square.
1,188 half square triangles.

Although I am quite pleased with myself for completing this top, finally, I will submit a humbling admission to you……….
THIS……is what is just across the room from my sewing table.
Just a SMALL portion of my thrifted shirt hoard…….

Sharon......I am impressed. That is one beautiful quilt. I am not sure I would want to attempt it. Now...as for your bins.....it's like AA, I think you should show ALL your thrift store bins in one shot....if they will fit.

I literally lol'd when I saw the picture at the end because the last photo didn't load on my phone when I saw it the first time!

And I'm glad someone else called you out for not including ALL of the bins….
