Kim's Paisley Path

I finished sewing back the binding this morning on Kim's Paisley Path.

pattern source: Bricks and Stepping Stones

I discovered just enough of this alien and spaceship print in green with bits of orange, blue, yellow and black. I don't think I would have purchased this for backing if I had gone to the quilt store but I was shopping the stash and this is *what* I had color wise and yardage. iiwii and done it is!

panto source: curly hearts

Yesterday I stopped and shopped. +8 yards

Not all is pictured as some of it will go into the next FAB Birthday Giftie! :)

Whew! It's Done!

The Milwaukee Admirals finished the regular season on Sunday, April 10, 2011. Andreas' scrapbook is also finished and ready to be turned in! yeah!

His scrapbook is about 4 inches thick and includes 40 home games, 1 way game, 39 away game summaries, monthly schedules, 2 appearance pages and 1 'Thank You' page! DD and I had a fun time attending the games then scrap booking together. We actually have more to scrap book on this season but simply ran out of room. :)

The scrap book out grew the first album so we had to buy a bigger album. of course, that meant I felt the need to sew a second cover as the first cover didn't fit the second album. Into the yellow scraps I went and here is my take on the Swedish Flag.

DD first page of Andreas' scrapbook.

I'm going to miss the scrap book... :(

but I know Andreas' Mom will appreciate it more... :)

DH suggested that I ask for visitation rights but this scrap book is going to Sweden to live.

ummm...might be a nice vacation to visit it! :)

Stash Update Week #15

Nothing in, nothing out...numbers stay the same as last week!

What I accomplished this week: pieced Kim's Bricks and Stones to a flimsy

Goals for next week: finish Kim's Bricks and Stones. :)

WIP Wednesday

Ta~da! The four patches matched with some green bricks BLOOMED into this Bricks and Stepping Stones flimsy. At 43 x 68, it is a little narrower than I like but I was limited by the amount of border fabric!

Does anyone ever do that?! Find a border fabric in the stash then pull the colors and pattern afterwards? BTW, Kim from the Bradley Center concourse likes green and just a little bit of orange. :)

Design Table Monday

The start of a new project.

60 orange and white 4-patches!

For Lori: a little weather out the backdoor on Sunday afternoon...

pea size hail storm~only lasted a few minutes but was very intense! Otherwise, almost all the snow has melted. Thunderstorms Sunday night will wash away the residual leftover mess from the snow. Add a few warmer days and sunshine~the grounds surrounding Bell Creek Quilts will be greening up. Almost time for the snow blower to move to the off site shed and the lawn tractor and deck furniture to return! :)
