sew what's new?

August 2nd Minnesota Quilt Shops will host a 16 day party! Women thru out the state will board buses and carpools to shop.  At each quilt store we will  see this year's selected fabric and the samples each store has chosen to display useing it!  Of course there are prizes and give a ways.  However it is a way to celebrate Minnesota, women and an Up North attitude.  I thought I would share some pics of our store's samples.... This is fabric that was reinterduced in January. Norman Rockwell Fabric Jelly roll race quilt On the table are some smaller projects also. A tote , bag cassarole carrier and other projects.  I got back my hexagon flowers quilt from Mary Hammer and got it bound useing a solid  grey.  Chatter later, Martha.

I have finished my secret  Cherrywood project. It was partly Cherrywood and part Minnesota  shop hop fabric. It will go on display at the store, it is not mine.  The lining of the vest has fabric that is supposed to represent logs, that is what those circles are. The Cherrywood fabrics are the colors they have specially dyed to go with the Minnesota fabrics . I have also finished my June block for the BOM for Aurifil Buzz .i'll  now start the July block. Now I must start also getting ready for company in a couple of weeks my son will be bringing his family to visit! It will be my youngest granddaughter's birthday. She will be ten. All for now must be moving along.  Martha
