another year...another log cabin retreat

nine of us this year at the log cabin retreat in monroe 

i take a crazy car full

  approximately thirty- six hours  of sewing were had

 i began another heart and home quilt with a crazymomquilts jelly roll  ~ i am loving it with the bright colorway

i finished up this urban garden quilted wall hanging  pattern by paisley bunny designs done w a half moon modern moda charm pack ~ started a few years back

i put a small dent in my fancy forest quilt...francis the firefly is a fussy girl and nbd i need seven more...same for allie the owl and the thistle block...and i still need to make the  hedgehogs and bunnies ~ this one is for milo and it is going to take awhile !!

and then i spent some time with this simple nine patch of liberty and kona bone ~  four rows down five more to go [ i shared a fat eights bundle [ so yes i only have fat sixteenths] for a year w my friend kay from duckadilly]  this will be a very special queen size quilt for ME

i also got  a  small start on another spider web project ...i made a table topper [ the one on top] a few years back inspired by crazymomquilts and the tutorial she shared from quiltville  i have always wanted to do a larger version

and then there was this...i came home to a glidden siesta keyblue LOVE living room wall freshly painted by nick

               now i am tired...amazing how much crazy sewing you can do in one long weekend xoxox
                                                       happy tuesday xo pam

improv love and milo love

when this quilt outgrew my design wall i knew it was time to piece all the wonderful rows together and be done

i loved everything about  making this improv quilt

i am making this quilt for my son and his wife....almost all of the fabrics [corduroy, vintage , linen blends etc] were upcycled from value village and approved by lani xp

inspiration came mostly from  sherrri lynn woods and seaslabbom w seattlemqg ~ more of my posts are  here, here and and here

the spine block row second from the right was so inspired by this instagarm post from satterwhitequilts

working with the  corduroy and other unidentified fabrics was interesting... the colors in this quilt are so rich

i have my fingers crossed and hope for the best after it is quilted ...cuz it is a bit wonky sad looking now that it is all together

in other news and much more important...milo is almost sixteen months and recently started walking...he also had a ten day stay with us while his parents had a well deserved break..it was a very special time for this gramma xoxo

                                                                happy thursday xo pam

i have my fabrics all lined up and the first foxes are done...i am ready to take this baby on retreat later this month
