1Choice4Quilting goodies have arrived!

I just love ordering and receiving new fabric from Shawna at 1Choice4Quilting...she always sends freebies and this time she also sent along TONS of 'scrap's - some of them 1/2 yard cuts!!

I bought a Trick or Treat layer Cake by Deb Strain from her, but I need ideas on how to use this for Halloween...will you please let me know your suggestions?  Thanks!!


Sorry about the linky party for Toot-torial Tuesday - the Linky Tools link isn't working this week ?!?

Toot-torial Tuesday # 14; I was featured on Lily's Quilts: Quilt As You Go

If you are new to quilting, you may want to try the Quilt As You Go Method, which is detailed here:  http://lilysquilts.blogspot.com/2011/04/quilt-as-you-go-joining-blocks.html

A post from SewWeQuilt @ Stash Manicure is also featured:  http://www.sewwequilt.com/2011/03/quilt-as-you-go-qayg.html


Quilt As You Go is helpful if you are new to quilting, have a small sewing machine, want to quilt your own quilt without sending your tops out to a longarmer, or if you have hand injuries or arthritis.

Here is the direct link to the super-fast, no hand sewing required,  iron-on batting tape method I featured:

I hope you will find the information helpful.  Please leave a comment to let me know what you think!

The Want-to-be A Quilter give-away today at SewWeQuilt @ Stash Manicure features 9.5 yards of Ty Pennington's "Water flower" fabric, sew be sure to stop on by to register!

Please consider linking up to our blog hop which is open from Tuesday, 9/13-Thursday, 9/15, 2011:

Toot-torial Tuesday #13 9/6-9-8, 2011 Inspirational Quilt Shop Tour


Labor Day Weekend = Travel

I couldn't resist stopping by this little roadside quilt shop/antiques store.
These pics show how adorable it all was...




Top right:  just like my great-grandmother's bread bowl!



Quilts and antiques sure go together nicely!


This looks familiar!  An AccuQuilt rag die quilt - I love the colorway they chose.  It's beautiful for fall!


This demi-tasse set was featured at $8.00 - what a deal!


Antique children's toys were on display.




What a fun stop on our way to the Lake!
Hope you also had a wonderful holiday weekend.

Have you stopped by to see who won the Bernina sewing machine from Madame Samm at Stash Manicure?  Tuesdays and Thursdays are for current quilters - be sure to sign up to win!
