I have been a quilting fool this last weekend!! I quilted and bound a quilt for a baby shower, I made two table toppers, I bound a cheater panel for another baby that is due in May (I got lazy...I'll make him a better one later) and started working on an Irish Chain for the MIL..I believe it is a double chain. I hope I can keep this momentum going. I am yhinking about selling some of my stuff. I don't expect to make any money...nobody wants to pay what they really cost especially in this economy. I figure it's just money to help fund my hobby. Something is still more than zero...it will get me some fabric, right?? Anyways...enjoy!!

On the last topper I am trying something new. I drew a quilt pattern on wash-away stabilizer and then used my FMQ foot. I just need to throw it in the washer and the stabilizer will wash out. The quilting looks ok...could be better. I just need to practice.

cheater panel...I was lazy!!

Since I have to be there at 6AM...there really is nothing to watch on TV. I either do some word finds or sew. I got an MP3 for Christmas so I just put in the earphones and turn up the music!! Did you know that the soundtrack from the movie "Dirty Dancing" is perfect to listen to when quilting?? I turn it on and turn it up. As my dear son Adrian says..."Let's get this party started!!!"

I love the little Snoopy and Woodstock...very cute, and the toppers are beautiful too. The babyshower gift is really good...your fabric selections are really spot on.
