It took me several weeks to decide to make my purchase. I can't do push ups, but I'll do planks.

I was sorting through a couple of donations and I found a few sizable pieces of a pale pink and a few smaller plain pieces so I now have a couple of blenders.

What are you making? I like pink quilts, but my grandchildren keep having boys, so I don't get to make many. My Double Irish Chain that I put aside to work on bazaar items is in pink and yellow - and it's for me - my first.

Irishrose2: I don't have anything specific to use the donated blenders in yet but I like to have enough on hand to fill in with patterned squares/blocks. I am mostly a scrappy quilter and use what is donated to donate back to my church group. I'm glad you are making yourself a quilt.

I've been quilting 8 years and I've not made myself a quilt, so I am excited. The problem is that it's not a high priority so it has been set aside. I have table runners and a quilt for the bazaar, a quilt for a new great grandson, and a Tshirt quilt to redo for a friend - not my work, but the recipient is a good friend so I will do what I can to fix the quilt.

Good for you, Irishrose, everybody needs a nice quilt to cuddle under that they made for themselves. The first quilts I made 100 years ago were for me... They were too badly made to go anywhere else! Since then I made only one for myself years ago and that one is still going strong. Enjoy!!

Sometimes, when I finish a quilt for someone, my hubbie asks me not to give it away. I figure, since he helps finance this hobbie, he should have a say...plus, I'm super grateful that he enjoys what I produce enough to be territorial. Lol... Now, up front, I tell him it's for someone and we are not keeping it. If he still wants it, I make another for him. The only ones he doesn't fight me over are the QOV quilts.

Teen, isn't it great that he appreciates your work on those quilts so much that he wants to keep them ?! You got a keeper of a hubbie there in more ways than one!

Yes, I'm very blessed. When people come over he always wants me to show my quilts. Lol... And, he's out of control in a quilt shop. He brings me polka dot fabrics even when I'm trying to curb that lust for them. Lol...

I have fallen completely off the wagon. I managed to sell the old pizza building to a new chiropractor in town. Of course the money is burning a hole in my pocket. Am considering a sit down machine. As I did not get along with the stand up long arm due to my hip pain.
What I wanted to tell everyone is that the Quilted Twins, Rachel and Becky have these wonderful collections that are cheap-o cheap-o cheap. I bought the gilded Christmas, the animal skins: tiger, leopard, jaguar, zebra, and then the wood grained ones. Runs about $4.00 a yard.
