Hi!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while....I've been working on the NBA quilt for Father's day and I have to do it when hubby is away...which is hard! The funny part is that he's been making fun of me for having 'too' many projects started and not finished...but little does he know it's because I'm working on his gift! It is quilted and I'm now hand stiching the binding. Which is a pain...

I ordered a binding/bias tape folder thingie so that I can machine stitch the binding on for now on. I do love the look of the hidden stitch binding (i'm sure it has a name but I can't think of it!) but it takes soooo long to do by hand!

Also, my replacement Sew Steady Extension table for my machine has been shipped - after 2 months - the first was broken during shipping by Fed-Ex....so as soon as it's here I can finish my other quilts! yay! And I promise to post pics soon!!

See!

I have been sewing!  The Twilight series is done...and yes, I'm a little depressed but now I can be productive!

First up:  Wasabi!  The green quilt for Ruth...mostly Fresh Cut fabrics.



next:  Deep Sea 9 for my little bro.  Random 9 patch with 3 Tula Pink's Neptune charm packs minus the coral.   I will sash with navy blue.





Lastly, and my favorite...my hubby's basketball quilt for Father's Day.  I love the bright colors, the woodgrain fabric and especially the one orange block.  It is a twin size...
