Lucky Stars BOM

I am still plugging away on these stars from the

Lucky Star BOM from last year, this is my fourth 

Star...its called "Black Hole Star'.  

It was fun to make, this orange

will definately add some "pop" to my quilt!

Another block to add to that WIP bag.....

Happy Monday to you all!!

RSC! Saturday Link up!

Its time to link up with Angela over at 

SoScrappy for the RSC!

We are still working with our purples this month..love this color!

Heres my fourth block for the month, these

Awesome Wonky Stars, you can find the pattern for these over on www.quiltville.blogspot.com.  Thats Bonnie Hunters Blog, and she has a bunch of wonderful free patterns under her free pattern tab....check it out..

I am doing two of each purple block just because I love purple so much and I need 20 blocks 

for a quilt at the end of the year versus just 

12, I like a big quilt! Yes, this means I will

need even more blocks of more colors but thats not a problem for me, my scraps are endless!

for Scrap Happy Saturday!

OMG! I made a bag!

OMG OMG OMG!!

I did it! I made a bag!!

My LQS "High Sierra Quilters" had a class to make this super duper cute

"Strip to the Beach Bag"

Its made with fusible batting and Jelly Roll strips in a quilt-as-you-go method...it was a lot of fun to make and I really learned alot.  

I learned to do "french seams" and boxing the corners....and I got to spend the whole day with my crazy LQS owner friend Dougie...and

some wonderful quilty ladies...it was a blast!!

I am very proud of this bag, I cant believe I made it!!  Now if I can just make more for my sisters for Christmas gifts....

Whoop Whoop!

Linking up with Richard and Tanya

for Link-a-Finish Friday!

Ritzy Cracker!

Another finish for my friend Julie!!

She made this pretty Ritzy Cracker Quilt for her

new Great Niece, Brooklyn.

Its a nice big size for her to grow with...

She backed it with Lavendar flannel and I longarmed quilted it for her with simple 

Loopy Loops...my "go to" pattern!

It really gave it beautiful texture!  

Love it!

Beautiful job Julie! 

Zig Zag!

My sewing buddy Julie comes over and sews 

withme as often as we can get together 

and I helped her make this masculine 

Zig Zag quilt for her Nephew. 

 We busted a whole bunch of

black and white scraps and paired it with Kona Chinese Red and some Gray...

Then she used up more scraps making a scrappy border...shes really come a long way with her quilting skills, I think she did a wonderful job 

on this one!  I think her nephew will love it!

 Heres a close up of my longarm quilting, I did a medium sized Meander/Stipple in gray thread.  

It turned out great dont you think??

Great job Julie!

P.S. Now I get to trim and bind it for her!

I am almost scared to mention that the longarm

is up and working right now....dont want 

to jinx myself!  Its all because of this Studmuffin

who came up to my house from Meissners Sacramento and helped me tremendously!

Thanks Karl!!

Hallelujah!!!
