LONG WEEKEND QUILTING

 Hoooo Hummmm. Long weekend. Nothing to do but sit in a bucket and snooze.Bunny's snores rumble  through the fabric room.  Nothing to do. As if.

 Leftover fabric to tear through. Upholstery and decor fabric to piece together. Fabric from old dresses found one day at the Sally Ann. Fabric good enough to use in runners.Gold fabric from a 1960's dress to rip up and make new as a centre in a star.The possibilities.....

 New patterns to try out with leftovers. Recycling.
                                                    But some of us, ho hummmm,  would rather sleep in the bin.
 Finding fabrics that can go together for another star runner, but in pink hues. Christmas, and yet can carry over into not-Christmas. One for me, one for a friend, that's how I look at it. Or, one for me, and two  for two friends. Or three. Or four. Power quilting...

 Backing and filling and pinning panels, ready to be quilting. They're piling up. And still other panels stretch out on the table, ready to be disassembled and reassembled. Always a cat lying in or on something. Bo likes the sewing stage. Gotta love Christmas.......

     Big quilts hang  here and there. Never enough wall space. Lots of fabric though.  The brown quilt actually is an Autumn-Christmas quilt. Found the brown pointsettia fabric a few years ago. Very unique. Have never seen fabric quite like it. Bordered it with a flying geese pattern of triangles, as the geese fly south for the winter .Or, as in B.C. , they just fly around in circles and stay all year. The Christmas quilt on the right is a "Broken Glass" pattern. I used leftover bling fabric and did it up like a stained glass window. It's one of my favourites. I leave it up year round. Gotta love Christmas.....

And then there's Bunny. Sleepy Bunny. In the bin. On this long weekend of power quilting.Unfortunately, I need the fabric that she has squashed herself onto. She has done such a good job of supervising, may just have to leave her to snoring.
