Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine went to fast it seems like. Saturday, my husband had to work so I spent the day adding products and content to the new site. We are very close to finishing now, I found a few bugs to be fixed but we are in the home stretch. Sunday, was a productive day in the house, cleaning wise, about every room got a cleaning except for my oldest son, Patrick's room. He is response able to clean his room. Felt great to get all that done. I even did a little clean and organization in the sewing room. Time to get back in there and make it unclean again.
The end of last week, I finished a new little wall hanging kit that I pick up about a year ago at the Virginia Quilt Show, in Hampton. This one will be for my sewing room, once i get it quilted and binded. The kit comes from Block Party Studios, it came a panel and fabric. I just need to get the backing, I will look for that in my stash.
It is started with this panel, which I love. Then they have you make star block, stack of fabric, spool blocks and flying geese.
The stack of fabric under the star block, is foundation piecing on a piece of muslin. It was very interesting to make doing it that way. But it definitely came out cute. I will add some color and life to my white walls in the sewing room.
Today, I'm planning to get some sewing done. I got a new block for the Kansas City Star BOM, i will be doing. I'm still working on how I want to quilt the Star Burst table topper. I'm leaning toward feathers. So, I may be quilting on that this afternoon.
Have a Great Monday, hope you all can do some sewing and quilting today!

I have completed the Smorgasbord Quilt top I started late yesterday afternoon. First, I had to finish 3 of the 4 blocks. I already had one put together yesterday. Once I had all of the blocks, It was easy to put together. I added 2" sashing with the black fabric in the middle of the block.
Next, I added the 4 1/2" borders with a nice red and black musical fabric. After adding the borders the quilt top was finished at 42" x 42" making a nice size for a small wall-hanging.
Now, I just got to put it on the longarm and decide how to I'm going to quilt this one.Tina

I have started a new small quilt project. This wall hanging project called "Smorgasbord" from Block Party Studios, Inc. I picked up this kit at the Virginia Quilt show in April, to make up for a graduation present, and graduation is now only a month away. Luckily this will be a small and easy one to put together. 
With the Smorgasbord, the kit comes with messages that are printed on a panel, which are cut down into 8 1/2" squares. Then put into the middle one of 6 block designs. The messages I choose for this project was Music, Staff of Life. The kit comes with everything you need except the backing.
After I got done with all my outside chores today, I put together one of the 4 blocks, and cut out the pieces for the other 3 blocks. So, all I have to do next is put them together tomorrow.Tina
