And Then I Remembered

This was just a practice layout for my Schnibbles quilt...

(yes, I am doing one just because)!

Well, just because Thelma was making it and I wanted to

play with these fabrics and make one also.

There is some controversy over the name of the pattern though.

It was named Bibelot.

Renamed Thelma... by Thelma.

But since I have 3 boys that have names that start with...

well, you see where I'm going with that.

But I had to pick this up off the floor and add the little side sashings

to it before I forgot to do that step.

Yeap, I forget things like that!

I get more scattered than you think...

well, maybe you already knew that!

I started off the weekend tidying up my sewing room, so I could

find my cutting table etc.

And these fabrics that I have been holding on to forever spoke to me.

So I diverted from my plan... and made some nine patch blocks.

And some more 9 patch blocks.

And even some little 9 patch blocks!

It's the start of an Acorn and Quilt Co. pattern that I have loved even longer than that fabric!

Here is a picture of it from the quilt shop called Holly Hill in West Linn, Oregon.

Borrowed from their blog, Boughs of Holly.

But then I remembered that I was suppose to be gathering my fabrics for the

Studly and the Mrs. Quilt Along.

I went to the stash closet and picked out this:

I have gone to my stash before, when I made the Eventide project with Cupcake and Daises group.

And I regretted my decision. Hopefully this will turn out better than that one did.

I am not so enamoured with my dark fabrics anymore...

although I still love Blackbird Designs and everything they create.

So now the cutting begins... wish me luck...

I hope I am "feeling it" when it's all said and done!

Then I remembered that this weekend is my retreat, Pine Needles Quilt Camp, I hold...

and I need to do a whole list of things to get ready for that!
Yikes!
