My mama taught me to sew and quilt as a little girl mostly using the scraps she had left from sewing clothes for us. Since the only cotton fabrics available in the 60's and 70's were calico, our souces of fabrics were pretty limited but she always had scraps of some kind to use. Now I have access to the most beautful cotton fabrics imaginable with my sweet calico kitty to help me in my sewing room. Just wish my mama could see what fabrics we have available today.

Back to work again...
Since I am new to this blogging thing and feeling my way around a bit, I thought I would start off posting pictures of the quilts I have finished this year. One at a time. Until I get a bit more proficient with loading pictures from my camera. I spent the last day of my 3 day vacation just sewing, crocheting, watching movies and just plain piddling. Felt so relaxed that it was murder getting up to go to work this morning. Going to a basket making class tonight. This is #3 class out of 4 classes I am taking during the month of October. I finished one basket already and should get the second one done tonight and hopefully start the third and last tonight. I will post a picture of them when I get them done. Probably should just stick with quilting. Anyway, for the first quilt picture, here is one I finished for my DB who loves civil war history. This is a nine patch variation that is done with all civil war reproductions. I love it so much, I may make another one for myself. Everyone have a great day!
