A Busy Week!!

OK, I am sewwww in love!!

In love with Granny Squares!

So addictive!!! Soooo lovely!!

I’ve been working on them all week longggg!!

I got 26 blocks from my new Marmalade jelly roll.

I used 20 of them for my quilt top, which I hope to start quilting tomorrow!!  Woo hoo!!

And the other 6 became this!!

My new table runner!!

Which I did the hand sewing of the binding on during bee yesterday!!  I didn’t put a label on it, as I might want to use it on the reverse side as I love the old garden print I used from my stash!

Look at this snack table spread at bee yesterday!!

Check out this amazing sewing room!!! It has it’s own zipcode!!

It belongs to my dear bee friend, Linda!!  Lucky girl!!

It has a fireplace!!  OMG!!!  Love it!!

Soooo, what are you working on this weekend???

Friday Night Sew-In!!

Tonight is the F.N.S.I.!! 

And that fits right in…

with my new addiction!! 

Granny Squares!!

O.M.G!!! They are so fun!!

I sewed two blocks this afternoon.

So, I couldn’t wait until dinner

was over and cleaned up to get

back upstairs to making them!!

Until my hubby yelled up to me…

“Get down here right now!!”

I’m starting the movie!!

What did you do tonight??

Won’t You Join Us??

Now that I am retired, I have the time and energy to join some fun quilt-alongs!!  And this one looks like allot of fun!!

(this is Lori’s block from her tutorial)

Lori at Bee In My Bonnet and Jodi at Pleasant Home are hosting The Great Granny Along. 

Lori has a wonderful tutorial  HERE on her blog to show us how to construct the suddenly popular granny block we will be sewing up.

The rules are simple!  Make a granny block, or two or however many you want, and post them on the Flickr group called The Great Granny Along Group! You can JOIN this Flickr group by clicking HERE!

Jodi and Lori will be posting about the group throughout the summer!  Come on… join us!!

Soooo, I had planned on using my Marmalade jelly roll to make Camille’s Spools Quilt.  But I changed my mind when I saw these granny blocks!!

So, I subcut all the 2 1/2” strips in the jelly roll into 2 1/2” squares and sorted them into piles.

Yogi was fascinated with all this cutting, of course!!

I also cut a ton of 2 1/2” strips from my chosen ecru background fabric and subcut them into the 3 1/2” pieces and 5” pieces needed for each block.

Sooooo, I am ready to start sewing up my granny blocks!!  Hopefully tomorrow!!

What are you sewing on???
