Look what I found?!

I was digging in my fabric stash when I found this quilt I started making around 15 years ago! I already had all my tools out so I just turned on my iron and sewing machine and got to work. I have decided 2012 is the year I'm going to finish all those unfinished projects! Yoo- hoo!

I can't wait to see what all of your quilts look like! Has anyone finished theirs yet? I don't know why I picked to make another log cabin, but oh we'll. I'm going to finish this one for my daughter Ainslee. Her birthday is in September but I do not want to procrastinate!

By the way: my sewing machine also does embroidery so if anyone wants to embroider on their quilt let me know. I'm making my husband a new quilt since his current one is rags and I'm going to embroider on that one. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Stephanie's sewing space

I thought I'd show you all where my creativity happens. This is it! I sew at this table squished between the kitchen table and garage door but I still like it! It works and that's all that matters.

Also, how are you ladies picking out just one quilt to make? I have been looking at tons of thousands of quilts and I want to make them all!! Oh my, I have started my list of ones I want to make. It was very difficult picking just one but I think I found the one I'm going to send out. The pattern is titled Paris Flea Market Star so get excited! Thanks for agreeing to March double Dutch!
