This week's photo challenge word is "lunch." So here is my little 10 3/4" X 9 1/2" quilt. And you might wonder just what does this have to do with lunch? Well, it's like this. When I went to Bridgewater Elementary School ...
... I had a lunch box like this.
I had seen a plaid quilt made by Elizabeth Hartman called Metropolis. I really liked her quilt and studied and studied it to see if I could make the block, but I just couldn't figure it out. So, I ended up buying her book "Modern Patch Work." She has some more cool easy quilts in there that I'd just love to make.
And then I still couldn't make my quilt just like the plaid pattern. I think I'll chalk up this piece as a learning experience. And why would I quilt "flames" across it? There are no flames in my lunch. It was fun trying out the Sulky Holoshimmer thread although I had issues with it. Maybe it was my needle!
Corn harvest is in full swing for us.
And now Ashton gets to ride with Grampa in the combine.
Today I went to Starkville where a lady was trying to sell her late mother's fabric, lace, ribbon, linens, and a few antiques.
The walls of her large storage room or stuido were lined with cabinets and more cabinets and tables in the center of the room.
You can tell we had a lovely time pulling fabric and digging for treasures.
Even the refrigerator was full of fabric.
I found quite a few pieces for dresses and them some for quilts and comforters.
And you know, I really don't need any more fabric, but when Paul found out about it he said "You better go!" =)
