I May Have A Problem


 I went to an estate sale this past weekend...twice. The first haul:


Flannel quilt top. I think I've mentioned before I'm a sucker for orphan quilts and blocks.


Cute holiday flannel panel.



And 22 yards of fabric.  

The second haul:


Polar fleece to be donated.


Cute mini quilt holder. Actually, saw when I was leaving. It was out with some odd garden wire stuff, very cobwebby.


Orphan holiday placemats. Need hand stitching to finish binding and some blind stitching to close sides.


Two books and 12 more yards of fabric.


Plus a few puzzles. Coulda brought home so much more but I didn't want to look greedy. 

Loaded one of the cheater quilts onto the frame.


I might have to install a cuss jar in the long arm room. There were a lot of bad words said. This fabric is all bias and stretchy. It also has thick seams. I started off using one of my Aurifil threads...after it kept breaking, I switched to good ole Omni. Got the first pass done...no problems, started heading back...more thread breaks. I think I'm going to have quilt the whole thing going left to right. I had directional issues with my Juki on the old frame, this is the first time I've had it with the Moxie.

I've been making more progress on Ginger Belle. Laid out on the design floor.


Attaching the pieced border as I go...it will take longer but I want to keep the fabrics / colors random.


Hmmm...it's bigger than I thought it would be.
