Where can I find the Diamond Mine pattern? I also loved this quilt.

My 2 big projects are the Sylvias Bridal Sampler and I want to do the BOM on Persimmon quilts. I'm in no hurry so will work on these in my leisure and play in between with some smaller things. There was a bag I liked called Bumble Bee Bliss.

I went to a quilt show 2 weeks ago and the trend seemed to be "retro". A lot of Sunbonnet Sue and Grandma's Garden type quilts. Really beautiful. Also the Mariner's Compass and a lot of Stars (or anything with "points"). And don't forget the "scenic" quilts. The ones that make a really lovely picture. (Looks like a really lovely lot of work to me!) I am working on "Winter Stars" from Fons and Porter. It is easy (I am a beginner) and quite pretty.

I love using the twister tool/primitive tool. HandcraftsbyJen has some gorgeous patterns for these tools. I look forward to what she has coming out in the next couple of months. I am headed to a Quilt Retreat this weekend and I will be working on her Shamrock Twister wall hanging while I am there.

I am into the table topper and runners faze, i am also doing pincushions, and i love the pillow cases, i have been making sets of the pillow cases for my grandsons for each one of the holidays, they love them. i found some Happy Birthday fabric, so they are also getting a pillowcase made with that and a Happy Birthday Runner for the table. So many ideas and so little time.

Oh i love these, thanks for another great idea.

Oh please do post pics of your coupon caddie. I want to make one. Bought one but it's too big for my purse.

I would like to see more charity quilts made. We have stashes and plenty of scraps. Lets use up some of those scraps we all have. There are so many organizations that can use quilts.

I came across information on making Sweatshirt Jackets. It seemed to be a top do list for quite a few people awhile back....I just missed it then. LOL. So that is my latest project craze.....

Last night I finished a diaper bag for our daughter and today I'll start t-shirt quilts...I have two to make!
