Sewing Room Organized......

Hubby hung up vintage soda crates for me so now I can keep stuff at arms reach without having it on the side of the table where it gets knocked off constantly. 
Plus it looks great!

A tip I got from one of my favorite sites, Pinterest......use a golf tee to keep bobbin and thread together.  Cool right??

Quilting Class Block # 1......

Yes, it says class # 1 because I signed up for another year.  This one should be so much fun.  All white backgrounds with bright modern colors in geometrics. 

This months block was laid out a bit different but I just had to rearrange it.  The lone purple block at the bottom is my 'run-away' block.....just for fun!

Quilting Class Quilt is Finished!!

Okay, not the best pic, will try to get another one tomorrow. However, it is finished! 

What you can't see in the pic are the paper pieced initials in the blue triangles.  This lap quilt is going to my dad for Christmas and the initials are for his 4 kids.  I had the school house embroidered with the name of the grammar school he went to and on the back is SEMPER FI and DEVIL DOGS for his Marine Corp days and the detachment he works with now helping to do floats and such. 

I hope he likes it!!

Birthday Cake!!!
