story at 11. Ok, this really didn't happen but by the look of my sewing room you'd think it did. I joined a challe
nge from Quilting on a Budget to try and get more organized. You can see by this picture that it is in pretty desperate need of something! I tried taking the bull by the horns and I did do some picking up and straightening this past evening. And you wouldn't believe what I found!
Remember my basket block that gave me conniption fits and I promised myself
I was going to get over my basket phobia by making a basket quilt? Well, can cross that one off the list! Look what I found under all the debris! And it's sandwiched and basted, just waiting for me to quilt it! It's called Amish Baskets and it was a freebie BOM I found on the net several years ago. I am sorry but I don't remember where. I do remember why I never did get it quilted, I was looking for that perfect template for all the open spaces. Well, I have that now too, just didn't remember why I bought it!
And I also found this little cutie stashed away. I did stop cleaning and straightening to get it sandwiched and basted. I'm going to quilt this one up now. I need something springy and this one fits the bill.
I guess the whole moral of this story is, if your room happens to look like mine, and I know I must be an anomaly, HA!, you never know what you might find once you begin picking up and straightening up.
Till next time.....
I love those butterflies!
ReplyDeleteWow - those are some great finds! I might just have to clean my quilt room and see there are treasures buried there too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. The butterflies were a mystery from Quiltbug.com. And I searched and searched and found the info on the Amish basket quilt. It is called Simply Amish and it was a free BOM from claudiasquiltshop.com.
