Some weekend projects

Over the weekend I didn't spend my whole time in the craft room but I DID get a few things done.
I was able to finish binding two table runners.

Here is the first one. About 14" by 42" A little large but I did end up making two of them.


 The front is a Destiny Schmit collection and the backing is a Kona Coal gray. I really enjoy working with Kona Solids. 


And here's me with the second table runner. Shorty wouldn't hold them so instead he took the pictures for me. This one is a smaller John Deere table runner.



I'm doing a craft fair in less then 3 weeks and I'm hoping to have a few more table runners and some baby blankets done by then. Cross your fingers for me!

A little about me. Part 1

I wanted to share with you a little bit about me. Tonight a few shots of my craft room. 
Yes I'm a very lucky one to get a whole room just for my crafting.

 Here is a shot of all the jeans. I Like to make denim quilts.  Some square ones, but I like to try and make a design with the different colors of denim. I'll share pictures of what I have already done in the future.


Here is my iron table. I have my scrap bins under there. The green one is for fabric scraps and the Blue is for Batting scraps. You never know when you can use a small piece of fabric or batting!
(and yes that's wood panel in the back, it's a 70's house)

And Last of my craft room tonight, my Baby. 


The Janome 6600. I LOVE HER. When I got her I also got the table that goes with it so it sits level with the table. I am SO glad I got the table!



I also want to show you a little bit of what I was working on tonight.

My Husband, Father-in-law, and Brother-in-law hunt. We live in a small town in the middle of North Dakota. Some very good hunting ground and not much else to do. Opening Duck is this weekend and my Father-in-law needed some blind covers so He built a medal frame and got me the camo burlap. All that needed to be done was to make some loops for the frame to thread into. Pretty simple. I made 5 larger and 2 small. That's my husband Shorty puting the frame in.

Starting a New

Hello to the anybody who I'm hopping in the future will start reading my blog.
I love to quilt, I love reading quilting blogs and when those people share there quilts with me and the world I don't feel alone in the young modern quilting world. So here is my testament to you, who ever you are, that this blog will hence forth have pictures of quilts and the process it took to make them. This blog will have pictures of random happy moments in my life and quite possible some sad ones too.  This blog will be my way of reaching out to people and say "Hey, sewing is fun and you to can do it! It doesn't matter how old or young you are. It doesn't matter if you've ever sewn before or are 90 years in. It doesn't matter, just have fun with what your doing and share that fun with everyone around you!"
This is my new start! Welcome all to my random world.
