Monday Morning

Well, my crafting has been on hold for a few days.  Started remolding my kitchen with new counter tops and hopefully new back splash today.  So far I really like what we have done.  I will post some pictures when the project is completed.

I went to the Foust Textiles warehouse sale last Friday.  It was pretty crowded and people were buying buggy's full of bolts of fabric.  They must have been shop owners because they were spending a small fortune.  I did manage to find a 25 yard pack of 5 coordinating colors in blues and yellows (5 yards each piece).  I am thinking about making a quilt with some of it but I don't know how I'm going to make it yet.  This will probably be a winter project.    I've never spent $70 at one time for cloth but I splurged this time. 

Gotta get busy on my baby quilt I'm working on.  Hopefully will finish it this week.

Free Motion Quilting

I have started a baby blanket and I am quilting it on my machine using the free motion foot I bought on Amazon.  It is going pretty good.  My arms get a little tired working on it for very long at a time though.  Hopefully I will finish it in the next few days and post a picture of it.

Tomorrow is the Big warehousesale day at Foust Textiles http://www.fousttextiles.com/  I've only been there once about a year ago and it is a big place full of fabric.  I'll report back tomorrow and tell about it.
