So here is what is left for the week.....

For the rest of the week I have got a bunch to do....

#1 Bind the Stars of the Barnyard!

I quilted this yesterday and now it needs binding TODAY!!! ;D  It's got to be ready to head to Seattle tomorrow.

You can see my  name upside down and backwards in the minky

#2 I've got to get the Baby Barnyard quilt done before my cousins baby shower Friday night.  It shouldn't be a problem.

I consulted with Becky at Morganson's yesterday and decided to do small red gingham sashing in between the blocks and have a red gingham out side border with brown dot binding.  I've got brown minky for the back.  I may need to piece the back with a little blue barnyard animals ;)

#3 the Zig Zag tote from the Zakka Style Sew along for my sons teachers birthday on Friday.

#4 Finish cutting out the Retro Flower quilt!

#5 Get the Cherry Cherry Picnic QUILTED!!!  I've got the back, now I just need the time :)  I think I can fit it in...

Thanks to Freshly Pieced for helping me get organized :)

I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced today :)

Saturday Shopping

I was shopping with my Sister in Law at Gracie Lou's on Saturday to buy fabric to make a quilt for her son, Austin.  He lost his blankie and needs a new one.  Here is the fabulous fabric that we chose for him.  Austin is blind, so we went more with what Kristine likes as she will have to look at it ;)  It's going to have minky on the back for sure ;D  While we were there, the AWESOME sales clerk showed us how to fold fabric to cut it on the bias quickly and easily.  Here is the photo demo.  I am so glad that I brought my camera :D

This post is possessed!!  Step #1 is stuck down in between step # 4 and #5 :p  I have given up trying to move it for tonight ;)

Step #2

Step #3

Step #4, trim off the top of the fold.

This is Step #1 :)

Step #5  Cut the width you like using the previously trimmed edge as your guide.

 

 While we were getting checked out, I noticed a "Sale" table.  I wandered over only to find this kit I have been eyeing since January.  It was 25% off so I BOUGHT IT!!! :D  I am sOOOOOOo excited!!!!
