I worked with Laminated fabric today -

      I was supposed to make these pads for the place that shows my quilts in NOVEMBER -! I was dragging my feet because I really wanted to work with laminated cotton fabric and it took some time to convince the store owner that it was worth giving it a try -

      Well today I got the fabrics and put them together -- here is what the process looked like..




 I was so tired and pooped today - my pipes had frozen and I was not impressed. Forgive my bitch face?


The fabric was easy to work with - Amy Butler - pdf - all about this fabric and working with it. --

I was lazy and just sewed the edges shut -- no zipper no buttons. I never really learned how to do zippers - Im sure its simple - but, Ive only wanted to use a zipper -- a few times.

Ill post a pic of the things in their new home soon.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.

I love free motion quilting.  I draw shapes. Whatever shapes happen to develop while Im quilting. Ive been quilting for about 11 years. Truthfully, I find that I make the same shapes over and over. Lots of curvy circles, mixed in with sharp edges. I also like to echo the shapes into each other.
