Happy Fun Time!

That's what this past week has been, really. Well, except for the DAILY t-storms and ungodly hot and humid weather. Our air conditioner has been getting a good workout!

The Last Thingy :)
I finished the set up in my new sewing room (or my "girl cave" as Hubby calls it!!). Hubby put hooks into the wall for my rulers. They are SO handy, right behind my cutting table. Just turn around and grab!

Modern Siggy Swap 2
I finished up and mailed my Modern Siggy Swap 2 blocks. They were fun to make!

Quilting Crack :)

Fun By The Dozen :)
At the lock-in Saturday night I started making asterisk blocks. I'm not really doing the quilt along per se, but I thought the blocks were cute and I wanted to make enough for a wall hanging. Well, let me tell you- these blocks are more fun than should be allowed by law! They are addicting. So, if you don't want to spend every spare second making asterisk blocks, I suggest you don't start at all :)

Double Duty :)
And finally I designed a quilt for the lovely new "Spa" fabrics by Rosemarie Levin. I pressed and cut the fabrics yesterday. My new shelves double as fabric racks- how cool is that!

  1. The room looks great! I really like the asterisk blocks. And I love the way you can use the front of your shelves to organize your quilt pieces! (It's the little things that get me going!)

  6. Your hanging rulers immediately brought to mind Julia Child and her pegboard for utensils :) So clever of you! And all the blocks look great too!

  9. Your "girl cave" is wonderful! Actually, I'm upgrading it from sewing room to sewing studio. I love that your hubby put up hooks so you could have your rulers organized and ready for action -- just like Julia Child's husband did for her with her pots and pans. (I was thinking about that this evening when I couldn't even find a can opener in my kitchen!) Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy :)

  13. I love your Asterisk blocks with the white background. Those are so cool! I waffled back and forth about doing the quilt-along, and decided I couldn't take on one more project, but seeing your blocks has almost changed my mind!
