I have an addiction....

I have been so good at avoiding buying more fabric and more kits. I am good that way...and then one day the dam opens up and it's like I am buying stuff left and right. Such was the weekend for me!

It started with Friday's inspirations and that darn quilt kit in my Etsy store.

Usually they sit in my Etsy store and the desire for the quilt goes away....not this time!

And then V and Co. came out with another pre-order for this quilt....Walk in The Park, Ombre quilt

I had seen this earlier and by the time I had looked for it, she was all sold out of the quilt kits. So guess what I did this time...I ordered it before it sold out! Of course I did!

And then we went to a wedding this past weekend and of course I found quilt store and of course all I was going to do was to "LOOK" and of course this all just fell into my lap!

Quilting Therapy in Liberty, MO is wonderful quilt shop. They don't have much fabric but what they have is wonderful. I would say that most of the quilts they had displayed had a very modern twist to it. I had seen the Thrive panel online but it was the first time I had seen it in public.

I had seen some of the things people were making out of it when it the market. This quilt was one that Natallia and her mother Kathleen had designed.

But the one I really like the most were these placemats. There are 6 quote panels in all. I thought that the placemat pattern would be perfect for a smaller wall quilt.

The layer cake of Grunge Hits the Spot would be perfect for one of my Layer Cake Recipe Books:

Well there you have it. I went from July to December of last year and only bought one quilt kit! It is March and I have since added 4 more quilt kits!

It must be the fact that I sold 3 quilts on ETSY and now all that money is burning a hole in my pocket. Well until I get some quilts done...I am finished buying anything else.....

well so she says.....

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Updated Porch

So creativity for me isn't always about fiber, it applies to just about every aspect of my life. My latest adventure has to do with my front porch. There have been many memories made on this front porch. My bench has captured many "first day" of school photos, family gatherings and all sorts of milestones such as first communions, proms etc. maybe that's why it's been so hard to make changes. The memories aren't going away and there are lots of new memories to make. But I digress... The front porch. This front porch has had these barrels for as long as I can remember. They've been a focal point. Know what happens to a barel that's been around for that long? Yup... The bottom falls out!! It was definitely time!! The bench stays, I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to that one yet. Here's to many more photos and memories on this front porch!!

And the UFO for May Is....

I've been a little busy so there are lots of things for me to catch up on. First of all I did not get much done on the UFO Challenge for April. I did get some baby booties done and delivered. I do hope that the moms will send me pictures of their little ones with cute little feet. As far as quilting is concerned.. not much got accomplished in April, maybe May will be more productive. The UFO for May is..... And according to my lists this is what I have scheduled..... The good news is that I started my LOVE quilt in March when I was on the quilt retreat. The LOVE blocks are all done. I have a few more small squares to cut up but then I should be able start sewing on it again. Knitting is always difficult. I should of worked on the cowl while I was on a conference last week but I needed to get some booties done for some upcoming new mamas. Because of this week long conference, I have had a chance to get lots of knittin...
