I have been making some progress this week on my great granny along,
granny blocks! I would have stopped at nine... but
they are kind of addicting and I have more fabric...
so, I keep on going! I haven't decided when to stop yet.
If I make 4 more I could add another row to the side and make it a square quilt.
Eight more and I will have a 4 row x 5 row block setting. Hmmm.
I love new quilting books...
I got a couple of books in the mail this week.
I won the Kim D. book from Sew Cal Gal!
Yeah!
I had really wanted that book.
I wanted to take the author's class at Road to California in January
but the classes all filled up before I could register.
I am usually aware of this and try to be on the computer the morning
of the first day of registration. I wasn't quick enough this time!
Oh well, I have the book as a great consolation prize!
I needed to order some thread... I order my thread from Connecting Treads..
and usually they have good sales on batting and books...
so the Stitch it For Christmas book went into my cart along with the thread.
It was on sale for like $6.50. What a bargain!
Now, for my other progress report...
 here is how my Spools quilt is shaping up. I'm not sure if the picture is blurred or if it's me? Anyway, I have the body together and a checkered border added and with any luck... adding this border to the outside |
 will be the right choice... because I love this fabric and I WANT it to work! Thanks for all of your suggestions, that really helped me!  seem to be "the" projects... but then there is this great little gizmo. I wish I would have thought of one of these earlier this year. Earlier this year when I was away from home so much and staying at my lodging... I always plugged my phone into the wall near the door and just balanced my phone on top of the cord... but this would be much slicker! I think it would be great stocking stuffers too. Whenever the kids are home or when I have other house guests... everyone is "plugging in" and I have cords and phones everywhere... this way, they could all just be plugged in and neatly contained in their rooms. |

I haven't done the "granny square" block yet but it does appear that it would be additive, everyone is doing it! I love the B&W border on the spools quilt. I think the outer border that you have to put on will be perfect! Have a great weekend.
That fabric is PERFECTION. Now what is it, I need some!
Love how the spools turned out and I think the border will make it really great. The black checkerboard is fantastic!
