I had forgotten about it til I was almost done editing the video.

Thanks! Hoping to get to work on the hand-stitching tonight.

Woo for more Birthday Blocks! I love how good that block looks.

Yay for seeing the chart again AND for the Wine Quilt moving on! I love got the binding out of the X-Files fabric. Woo!

Our garage is populated with those wire shelves. They are perfect for bin storage.

Love the outtake. :P

I am excited to have all my blocks and get to start playing with them to figure out the layout.

I seriously love my new shelves. I gave D from work the white melamine bookshelves for her sewing room. She's not got anywhere near my supply of fabric so it will work for now for her. I also let her shop my scrap bins last week for an applique she is putting on a baby blanket. I was like, "seriously, don't spend money on a fat qtrs for a tiny bit that you need, when I have bins full of scraps. Just tell me what colors you need and I'll throw those bins in the car."

We are now like the people that helped us when we started out. "Please, shop from my fabric! I have sooo much!" A lady name Clare gave me my first giant box of scraps. Almost all of my first HP projects were made from that!

Exactly. Enablers. That's what we are. And darn happy to be so!

Those bowtie blocks really do look great! It's fantastic block in repeat.

Looking forward to seing the wine quilt when you've got it all bound up :D

That is definitely not the last bowtie project I do. I for sure want to do one for Project Linus.

Looking forward to moving another quilt into the "done" box. then onward!

I like the bright colours of your bow tie quilt and the shelves look good.

Glad I waited for it xx

I want to do one with all bright batiks on black, but didn't want to make everyone buy batiks for the swap if they didn't have them already. So I will just do that one on my own. I love that block and it's so versatile. Rearrange and it's totally a different block!

LOVE my new shelves. Wish I had just bought them in the first place, but at least I have them now.
