Baby Bowl!

 Wow, it has been a while since I posted about a good 

find but this little one is great!

A small magnetic bowl!  




It is adorable in appearance and just 

incredibly cute. I even talked my 

sewing buddy into getting one!

It turned out to be very handy in use and 

keeps my pins off the floor. 

It is even small enough to sit nicely 

by the sewing machine

To find one for yourself, 

just check out your local quilt shop!

They are very reasonably priced too!


Hi ho, Hi ho!

 Lots of work going on here lately, 

not feeling like a sweat shop,

but that OCD, "get it done" vibe is definitely in the room!

I am making a lots of progress on the my 

string collection. 

I have a big pile of star blocks. 



There are enough for Kid's String #3 and a good start on #4. 
The beige/white inner border is still chewing up 
a lot of light scraps.  I pinned up the work in progress
and there are still 4 shorter borders to start.


The remaining 6 long inner borders are started 
but need to be finished up. 


This #2 Kid's Strings, will get a crumb border since
there are still some remaining in the block bank. 
#3 & #4 will get a different type of outer border. 
These two borders are in the running. 
I would like to use squares I have on hand. 


Lots of work to do and fun to have. 
I even tried my hand at English paper piecing. 
A great year end BBQ and wonderful 
instruction lead to a finished bit bowl. 
I enjoyed the process but I don't think I 
am a convert to the movement!











Dirty Dozen Challenge

Mary over at  Country Threads

is doing a challenge for motivating

us to get the UFOs out of the closet and

into the finished pile. 

12 projects are numbered 1-12 and 

a number is drawn randomly each month, starting 

with #1 this July.

I may be joining in by labeling most of my flimsies 

and getting them quilted up!  It could 

be a fun challenge and definitely a motivator.

This will keep me busy for many a To Do Tuesday!

So here is a quick review of  all the tops in the vault!
