Now that is a title.

I’m actually at the Lake of the Ozarks for the holiday weekend but I wanted to mention a couple of things and post for Thursday Threads.

Be sure to check in next week as I’ll be hosting a giveaway.  I love free stuff!

As well as hitting my 100th post, next week is a Quilt/Blog Anniversary for me.

I’ll also be participating in Plum & June’s Blog Hop.  I’m on the schedule for next Friday.

Block Rock’n Week 9 is moved to Friday, July 12th due to me being out of town.

Welcome to Thursday Threads!

I hate to admit this, but this week has been a sewing bust.  We are working on a deck so my free time has been sucked up “supervising” (ok, watching) and I haven’t touched a needle or thread.  Very disappointing for me.

AND I realized Block Rock’n was last Friday… for some reason I thought it was THIS Friday.  So, I’ll definitely be releasing a new paper piecing template this week.

Found out this evening I’ll be joining in Plum & June’s blog hop!  Can’t wait to visit all the blogs and get some new inspiration.

Since I’ve been such a dud this week I’d really love to see what you have.

Happy Thursday!   This little patio table topper…

is posted over at Moda Bake Shop!  Yay!  I can’t tell you  just how excited this makes me.  Some of my first quilts were Bake Shop patterns and I have a couple on my to-make list.  This is my first project at the Bake Shop and I hope it’s not my last.

Block Rock’n
It’s been so much fun seeing some of my Block Rock’n designs out there.   Here are a few:

Caldonia Quilt Top! at Jewel Weed Chronicles

Lithium Pillow at Kitchen Table Quilting

Icky Thump at Wombat Quilts

Marley Block at What the Bobbin

I love their versions, aren’t they great?

This week I’m finishing up my blocks for the Scrappy Trip Around the World Bee and the Triple Twist.  Hopefully I’ll have time to start something new as well.

What are you working on?

Hello, welcome to Thursday Threads!   Here is the quilt I’ve been working on quilting. I call it ‘Triple Twist’.

Hopefully I’ll get it finished up in the next week or two and I’ll put up a tutorial.  It’s made using a layer cake and about a yard of fabric.  I really like the texture on the front!

Does anyone else have a fabric stash they can’t seem to organize?  I have a dresser full of fabric that looks like this:

What am I thinking? Of course you do. It’s a little scary and out of control!

So what are you working on?

Hello everyone!  Last week I introduced Thursday Threads and I’d love for you to join in.

If you are Stateside, did you have a good holiday weekend?  We went went to Lake of the Ozarks (where I grew up and my parents live) for a nice long weekend. Lucked out and the weather was beautiful!

Unfortunately I haven’t done any sewing this week, but I was practicing free motion quilting on a quilt before we left.

This is the first time I’ve ever planned what I want to do.   In the past I’ve just stippled or straight lined stitched. I took one of Leah Day’s Craftsy classes and want to practice some of those designs.

You know what?  I’m AWFUL at ‘traveling’ along the stitches. Ha!  I’m hoping I’ll get better with practice and I get this quilted up in the next week.

What are you working on?  I’d love to see any fabrics, sewing or quilty goodness.
