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!!

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!

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.
