Craftsy Sweetens Up My Quilting Life! Blog Hop and Slow Stitching
Pin basted, and ready to quilt! Finally.
We're still hoppin' and showing our love, but flu has hit this household. It means a minor change in plans for me, and a good reason to find something portable to stitch while playing nurse. Check it out below. But first, let's 'talk hop'.
Are you registered for the Giveaways?
Over $500 of Craftsy products!

Two more talented ladies are ready to show their discoveries on Craftsy.
Zenia at A Quilted Passion is enamored with FMQ and her review of three classes, "Start FMQ" with Elizabeth Dackson, "Secrets of FMQ" with Christina Cameli, and "Help! How Do I Quilt It?" with Angela Walters will open your eyes to the benefits. Buy any of those classes through Zenia, and get 50% off for the next week!
Jayne at Twiggy and Opal has a sweet heart deal from Craftsy to show you: her pressing/cutting mat and mini iron. We quilters adore our tools! Let Jayne point you in the direction of some pretty terrific finds!

This project is based on Jen Kingwell's block 'Mrs. Bannister's Stars', but beyond the center has been add-as-you-go. It's been waiting for the perfect moment to finish. You may remember it starting here, the next post here, and adding borders here. Then I got sucked into the Moda Building Blocks quilt, and this beauty sat on a shelf.
No need to go into details when the fabrics are so varied, and so dear. There are pieces from Depression feed sacks...
...recycled dresses from the 1940's, and every decade to the present. The fabrics range from contemporary to traditional to modern. The initial goal of this quilt was to blend all of them without fussing. Would it work? I think it has. All that's left is the quilting.
I'll be keeping the chicken soup warm.
Come on, Doxie girls.
Let's sit and stitch.
