Quilting in Progress!

So...I have picked bac up the very first quilt I ever started sewing. The one for MY bed! lol. I am close to having the top finished!!


I also did my block today for the 12 week quilt-along:


Each week is a different block with different fabric. It is going to make a beautiful quilt!
I also made a spring time table centerpiece:

Nancy accomplished her first completed project!! She is SO excited! She made a purse for her Mom for Mother's Day:

I've been using pieces of my weed whacker quilt and my postage stamp quilt as leaders and enders as I've been working on other projects. I also collect cat fabric....one of these days I am going to make a cat quilt. Here is the cat fabric I have so far:

Quilting update!

Nancy has begun sewing her fabric together for her very first quilt!!! Today I will show her how to thread the bobbin and machine and off she will go! She finished cutting her fabric last week and has already sewn her rows to assemble her 9 patches. She is using a beautiful array of Moda fabrics!
I, on the other hand, have been working on a series of purses/totes. I have made some Mother's Day gifts, two little girl rag top purses and have begun another.
I am going to be starting my Quilt-a-long next week. it is a 12 week project and I am really excited about it. Lisa and I cut and organized all 12 weeks before I left Florida, so all we have to do it sew and iron!!
I am also thinking....yes, Lis, thinking....of doing a postage stamp quilt. They are phenomenally beautiful and made up of thousands of little pieces of fabric. It is definitely a scrap buster quilt. I plan on looking through my stash for a little extra inspiration later today...I will upload pics of the purses later!!! Love to all!
OK, Here they are:
