Thursday Stuff. . .

I really have boring subject titles, don't I?  I just don't think to brightly at 5 am some morning.

Just a quickie give-away I wanted to share because it's a good one in my opinion, free pizza stone!  100 Days of Real Food 

I've been sewing, got inspired at JC Penny's last night when I saw these:
I love the green and the purple in these and finally started a project I've been working up to for over a year now.  I visited thrift stores last summer and purchased several pairs of plaid colored shorts.  So, I pulled out a set and started a proto-type sample. . . . I'm not ready to share all the details yet, but I've very excited with what I'm working with!  Just have some fine tuning.

I started to play with this technique yesterday as well (thanks to Ms. Cindy):  3 Seam 10 Minute Block.  I'm making a smaller block (cutting blocks at 7 1/2") using stash fabric and using a setting of 4 x 5 for a quilt top.  Should whip up pretty quick.

We were very lucky here in Oak Ridge, TN last night....Knoxville had a lot of hail damage and other wind issues from the storms here.  Going to be an interesting day to see the aftermath.

  3. So glad to see you are safe from all the storms in your area. A great block for stash busting - and as you say, very quick. Can't wait to see.

  5. That looks like an interesting technique. I'm anxious to see what you put together. Not to mention those shorts-- love those colors!

    Sigh... makes me want to start something new too. :)
