New BOM

I joined a new BOM called Civil War Heroes, here are the first two blocks finished. Next month will be the large applique center square.















I spent some time today reading blogs, I came across a couple that were working on their Dear Jane quilts. I was inspired to pull out mine and start working on them again, so I prepped a block to handpiece while watching TV in the evening.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Quilt Show

I finally had a chance to post some pictures of the quilts that caught my eye from the Quilter's Gathering. There were lots of beautiful art quilts, but I guess I am more of the traditional type of gal.










I have been busy cutting my scraps for my tumbler, I will post a picture when I have made some progress on that, I did manage to finish block two on my applique quilt, it is the Friendship's Garden quilt from Blackbird designs.

A Quilter's Gathering

Oh my, I did not realize so much time has gone by with no posts. I had a wonderful day yesterday, I went to A Quilter's Gathering in Nashua, NH with my sister. Lot's of fun was had, the quilts were wonderful, but the best part was the vendors. I went with a list of things that I needed and it was hard but I managed to stick to it. I bought some red, green and yellow FQ's that will go with my red and green applique that I am working on. I loved Lucy's tumbler quilt so much that of course I needed a tumbler template and I fell in love with this fabric from Jo Morton's new line Hattiesburg so I had to have that also. Tomorrow I hope to post some photo's of some of the quilts that caught my eye.

Summer's Bounty

This is the time of year that the warm weather is waning, you begin to notice the smell of burning leaves and ripening apples. The clear cool breeze is on your face first thing in the morning, and the children have new energy and interest in the season. Autumn is almost here and isn't it beautiful? A time for harvesting, canning, preserving and getting stocked up for winter -- and the perfect time for reflecting on the many things for which we should be thankful.

We will be having our annual 3-day Labor Day sale, 10% off everything in my webstore http://www.bittersweetprimitives.com/ . Have a great holiday weekend.

Almost a Finish

Hi Friends,

Not much going on today, the weather was too hot and humid to be outside, so I worked on sewing the binding on a quilt today. I just got in some awesome new woven primitive blankets for my website, take a peek.

Primitive Blessings,
